The Measure of a Man

Downsized out of his longtime factory position, and still needing to provide for his loved ones, fiftysomething laborer Thierry Taugourdeau (Vincent Lindon) finds himself thrust into an employment market that has left his values and his skill set behind. Through the demeaning grinds of a job hunt and arranging to keep his family finances afloat--as well as the moral choices presented by the gig he finally lands--he faces an uphill battle to maintain his self-respect. Affecting tale of economic displacement co-stars Karine de Mirbeck, Matthieu Schaller. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; featurette; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
