About Une femme à abattre
Dominique Dumas is raising her 18-year-old son Antoine alone. Optimistic and energetic, she didn't hesitate for a second when she came across what she considered a golden opportunity: Gustave shoes were looking for a general manager. After passing the tests with flying colors, Dominique makes her debut in her new position. What she doesn't know is that she's actually been hired to sink the company. Contrary to what the recruiters had intended, however, Dominique proves to be an outstanding manager, full of resourcefulness and genius ideas, and soon turns the company around...
Directed by Olivier Langlois, Une femme à abattre leans on a strong ensemble — Mélanie Doutey, Nino Kirtadzé, Paweł Deląg — 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 drama titles of 2008.
