About The New Life of Paul Sneijder
Following a rare accident, Paul Sneijder opened his eyes to the reality of his life as a "senior manager" in Montreal: his work no longer interested him, his wife annoyed him and deceived him, his two sons despised him ... How can we continue to live under these conditions? Starting with a change of profession: dog walker for example! Will his relatives accept this change that will turn him into a free man?
Directed by Thomas Vincent, The New Life of Paul Sneijder leans on a strong ensemble — Thierry Lhermitte, Géraldine Pailhas, Guillaume Cyr — 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 2016.
