SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1930s, Jean Renoir exposed the hypocrisy and mendacity that lie in the \u201crules\u201d of the French bourgeoisie in his masterpiece LA REGLE DU JEU. The film provides the title for Claudine Bories and Patrice Chagnard\u2019s impressive study of young people trying to find work through an employment agency. Full of empathy, they unmask the unwritten rules of the modern labor market, which put external appearances and employability over character and skills. Like Renoir, the directors have succeeded in making a wonderful social comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lolita refuses to laugh. K\u00e9vin doesn\u2019t know how to dress. Hamid doesn\u2019t like bosses. Thierry can\u2019t sell himself. They\u2019re 20 years old. They have no qualifications. They\u2019re looking for work. But they have little chances in a labor market that seeks young and courageous individualists who can sell themselves accordingly. A private employment agency in the economically underdeveloped northern city of Lille has six months to make them fit for work. It\u2019s not easy for the young jobseekers to get the hang of marketing themselves. Full of empathy for its protagonists, the documentary exposes a system in which it is more important to impart a good self-image than to have qualifications and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
