The Measure of a Man (2015)

French film about a laid off, middle aged factory worker, trying to keep his family afloat and maintain his personal dignity under very trying circumstances. Star Vincent Lindon deservedly won the best actor award at Cannes playing Thierry Taugourdeau, a man of few words but a lot of personal integrity. Though I could talk about this movie at length I think it is best approached with little foreknowledge about the plot. Retroactively I'd say this is one of the 3 best movies of last year. I would strongly recommend you seeing it. ****
