Why watch this film?
Director Stéphane Brizé (At War) reunites with his go-to actor Vincent Lindon (Titane) for a scathing critique of the vices of corporate loyalty in the name of capitalism, and the high cost manifested as moral and personal erosion. A New World is the story of Philippe, a man who has devoted his life to a multinational company, at the expense of neglecting his marriage and relationship with his son. However, he faces a crisis of conscience when, amidst his divorce and his son's personal problems, he is pressured to carry out another round of layoffs. Lindon and Sandrine Kiberlain's (In Love With Your Wife) performances are phenomenal, in a drama that portrays the ever-increasing cost of working in increasingly indifferent corporations.

A Woman's Life
Selected for the Venice Film Festival (being chosen as the best film by critics) and nominated for two Cesar awards, this melancholic French drama portrays, with magnificent photography, the life of a woman in 19th century Normandy -- restricted by the harsh social and moral codes of the time. An exercise in reflection on times when gender equality was an even more distant dream.
The Measure of a Man
A story that seems so real, about a middle-aged man without prospects, cast aside by society as if his labor force, simply because of his age, had less value. This leads him to desperate choices, bringing a portrait of part of French society - and of course, part of Brazilian society too.

Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
