About The Ordinary People
The Muller company organizes a reception to mark the launch of a new product. During the evening, we discover that this is actually a coaching exercise for company executives. Gradually, rumours about the upcoming acquisition of the company start to emerge and everyone finds themselves trying to save their place.
Directed by Mathias Gokalp, The Ordinary People leans on a strong ensemble — Denis Podalydès, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Mélanie Doutey — 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 2009.
