About The Left-Hand Side of the Fridge
Christophe agrees to be filmed by his roommate Stéphane, while he is searching for a meaningful engineering job. Since he voluntarily resigned his job when he was to be moved to quality control, he does not get unemployment benefits, and goes to classes on how to contest the decision.
Directed by Philippe Falardeau, The Left-Hand Side of the Fridge leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Ahmarani, Stéphane Demers, Geneviève Néron — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2000.
