Description
Please join us for the second screening in our 2025 Ciné Club series, presented by Mariel Iezzoni, an independent filmmaker based in Cambridge. With a deep appreciation for French cinema rooted in her studies in Paris, Mariel brings a unique perspective to this evening’s film. Experience The Measure of a Man (La Loi du Marché), a masterful social drama that shines a light on the stark realities of modern labor and human dignity. Directed by Stéphane Brizé, this nuanced film follows Thierry (portrayed by Vincent Lindon in a career-defining, Cannes-winning performance) as he navigates life after being laid off from his long-time job. Miraculously landing a role as a supermarket security guard, Thierry is tasked with monitoring not just shoplifters but also his own coworkers. His quiet resistance to the ethical compromises demanded by his new role becomes a deeply moving exploration of resilience and morality in a system that pits individuals against one another.
