Overview

Grégoire Canvel has everything a man could want. A wife he loves, three delightful children and a stimulating job. He's a film producer. Discovering talented filmmakers and developing films that fit his conception of the cinema-free and true to life-is precisely his reason for living. Yet his prestigious production company, Moon Films, is on its last legs. Too many productions, too many risks, too many debts. Storm clouds are gathering. But Grégoire ploughs on at all costs. Where will his blind obstinacy lead him?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A portrait of a man unraveling as his devotion to art and ambition collides catastrophically with the needs of those closest to him. Shot with unflinching clarity, it's a film about the cost of vision.
