His family is small with a wife and a handicapped son. Such film is this one which focused on the man called Thierry who was looking for any job for the last two years. That leaves to get one from the smaller wages. Being somewhat old and not skilled with today's technologies is a big excuse to exclude from the employment world. The modern world belongs to the young blood.
I am not talking about the freshers or the youngsters, but in between the jobs, mostly the middle-aged and less qualified men's perspective. This could resemble your life, at least some way if you ever struggled to get an employment after getting released from the previous job. If you are so, then stop there and try other flick. Especially not for an entertainment purpose. You can call it a docudrama, because it was very realistic that you won't feel like you are watching a film. There's no comparison with any other titles, except the similarity in themes. This is like another 'Two Days, One Night', but a bit touch of 'The Pursuit of Happiness' with the limited sentiments.
This is the latest one I saw that I did not think of giving it a try after the average reception, but once I watched I realised how much underrated the film was. Anyway, you would be tired of listening to what I'm going to say that I always love French and Japanese films, mostly the drama films. They won't put big sum on some superhero film like the Hollywood, they give preference to storytelling and the characters which I love even in a slow pace narration. It's mainly because of the quality of their products. French films are the second most I watched apart from the English language films.
