French Cineclub of Palo Alto: "Le Couperet" 2005 by Constantin Costa-Gavras September 26, 2007

Le Couperet 2005 by Constantin Costa-Gavras with José Garcia, Karin Viard. Wed. Sep 26. 7:30pm

Bruno Davert, a chemist working for a paper company, is fired. After three years he's still unemployed, too much competition for the few job position he could fit in his sector. He sent tons of resumes, he attended many qualifying courses, he tried everything but there is nothing to do: no job for him in the industry. The only healthy company in the sector is "Arcadia", but joining it is just an impossible dream. At this point Bruno is desperate. What he could do: to kill all the competitors? Could he?

Après quinze ans de loyaux services en tant que cadre très supérieur dans une usine de papier, Bruno Davert se fait licencier avec quelques centaines de ses collègues pour cause de délocalisation. Trois années passent sans qu'il ne trouve un nouvel emploi. Il est maintenant prêt à tout pour retrouver un poste à son niveau, même au pire...
Drama, 122mn.
