THE MEASURE OF A MAN (La Loi du march\u00e9)<\/strong>

\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: B+<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Steph\u00e1n Briz\u00e9<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Stphan Briz\u00e9, Olivier Gorce<\/strong>
\nCast: Vincent Lindon, Yves Ory, Karine de Mirbeck, Matthieu Schaller, Xavier Mathieu<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 2, NYC, 4\/5\/16<\/strong>
\nOpens: April 15, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter what politicians tell you about what matters most, whether it be Donald Trump who recently cited the three biggest issues in America are \u201csecurity, security, security,\u201d most Americans, whether they admit it or not, will say, \u201cIt\u2019s the economy,stupid.\u201d\u00a0 Political scientists regularly confirm that whether a President gets a second term depends on the health of the economy.\u00a0 The same may be true in France, where at least, unlike the situation in the U.S., workers have some stability.\u00a0 It\u2019s against the law to fire people in France (from what I\u2019ve learned) after they have passed a trial period, with two exceptions: a business division closes, or if employees are caught stealing.<\/p>\n

So what can a company do if its bottom line is nothing to write home about and it needs to lay off a batch of workers?\u00a0 In St\u00e9phane Briz\u00e9\u2019s account, it can look for an excuse, even to the extent of prosecuting petty thefts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Measure of a Man\u201d is the English title for the French \u201cLa Loi du march\u00e9,\u201d or \u201cMarket Law.\u201d\u00a0 If, after seeing the film, you think the French title is more apt, you probably are thinking politically, that Briz\u00e9 and co-writer Olivier Gorce are indicting capitalism.\u00a0 If you think the English title is more appropriate, you are empathizing with an individual who is undergoing hard times and is angry, albeit restrained.\u00a0 How he responds to his situation, then, will show him as a person who has not lost his integrity despite his empty pockets and dim chances of landing a job with good pay.<\/p>\n

The man of the title, \u201cThierry Taugourdeau (Vincent Lindon), is down on his luck.\u00a0 At age 51, he is laid off from his factory job like many of his colleagues by a company which might be able to justify the hatchet job.\u00a0 He is considered too old to pick up a new gig, not just by potential employers but by the bankers (like one played by Catherine Saint-Bonnet) and by recruitment advisors (like Yves Ory), the latter playing the game by training people for employment knowing that the training will lead nowhere.\u00a0 Thierry tells off an employment counselor for wasting his time learning to operate a crane when nobody will offer a guy his age a job.\u00a0 He is condescended to by a company that tells him his chances of getting employment, and while the interviewer is at it, lectures Thierry about a poorly written r\u00e9sum\u00e9.\u00a0 A middle-aged couple agrees to buy a mobile home in the countryside which has sentimental value but upon meeting him, the prospective buyer reneges on his agreement to pay the accepted price.\u00a0 Thierry shows his integrity by refusing to have the price lowered. What\u2019s more he has a developmentally disabled son (Matthieu Schaller) who despite a physical illness is intelligent and motivated, and Thierry lacks sufficient funds to get him the special education help that\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

When he finally lands a job well below his abilities as a security guard in a large supermarket, he is disgusted by the boss\u2019s plan to latch onto any excuse to downsize the work force.\u00a0 It is here, after noting how poor customers are picked up for shoplifting, whether meat or CDs, and how two of the hard-working employees are nailed for minor offenses which in no way should justify dismissal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Measure of a Man\u201d is about as naturalistic as a movie can get, the antithesis of a \u201cBatman v. Superman\u201d or \u201cThe Boss,\u201d and will be appreciated by an audience that is sophisticated enough to go for what is not only an effective indictment of the harshness of Western capitalism but is graced by an astonishing performance from Vincent Lindon (he got a five-minutes\u2019 standing ovation at Cannes).\u00a0 Lindon nails the persona of a man who is being thrown under a bus by the system yet keeps his integrity throughout.\u00a0 The film bears resemblance to the Belgian Dardennes Brothers\u2019 \u201cTwo Days and One Night,\u201d in which a group of people in a small company are given the choice of taking a pay cut that would enable the firm to avoid laying off an employee, or refusing the suggestion, which would mean the firing of a colleague.<\/p>\n

Most of the cast are not professional actors, but simply people who inhabit the roles that mirror their own lower-middle-class jobs.\u00a0 It would be the year\u2019s understatement to say that this critique of capitalism lacks the melodramatic excesses of \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street,\u201d (not to knock that terrific picture) and will fit nicely into the theatergoing choice of an urbane audience.<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 93 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
