Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #84. Thomas Lilti’s Un Métier sérieux

Date:

Un Métier sérieux

Production on Thomas Lilti‘s fifth feature commenced back in February of ’22 in Normandy with a formidable comprised of Vincent Lacoste, François Cluzet, Louise Bourgoin, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Lucie Zhang, William Lebghil and Bouli Lanners. Having built his filmography around worlds with white coats or institution-themed films, it comes as no surprise that Un Métier sérieux (aka A Real Job) features a dramedy that revolves around the notion of training for the next level. Our money is on the cast here.

Gist: Benjamin, a PhD student without a scholarship, accepts a contract professorship in a college. Without training or experience, faced with a weakened institution, he discovered the difficulties of this profession.

Release Date/Prediction: We have this down as a Locarno title with a domestic release set for September in France.
