The worst ones

DVD - 2023

Set in the suburbs of Boulogne-Sur-Mer in northern France, this captures a film within a film as it follows the production of a feature whose director turns to the local Ciť Picasso housing project for casting. Eager to capture performances of gritty authenticity, the director selects four working class teenagers to act in the film to the surprise and consternation of the local community, who question the director's choice of "the worst ones." As the director and crew audition, rehearse, film, and interact with their hand-picked cast, jealousies are stoked, lines are crossed, and ethical questions arise, with thought-provoking and at times darkly funny results. Winner of the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the ...2022 Cannes Film Festival.
