The Workshop

Directed by Laurent Cantet

Antoine (Lucci) attends a writing workshop in which young people have been selected to write a crime thriller with the help of famous novelist Olivia (Foïs). The creative process recalls the town’s industrial past, a form of nostalgia to which Antoine feels indifferent. The latest work from Laurent Cantet (The Class), the film looks at notions of violence and generational divides.
