Human Resources
Directed by Laurent Cantet
Produced by PROCIREP, La Sept-Arte
A tense, morally ambiguous drama about class conflict and complicity, centered on a young man caught between his father's working-class world and the dehumanizing machinery of corporate management.
"Good son" Franck returns to his hometown to do a trainee managerial internship in the Human Resources department of the factory where his anxious, taciturn father has worked for 23 years.
