Released in 2015, Discount is a social comedy directed by Louis-Julien Petit(Les Invisibles). With humor and humanity, the film tackles issues linked to precariousness and mass retailing. Featuring a talented cast including Olivier Barthelemy, Corinne Masiero(Louise Wimmer) and Pascal Demolon, the film spotlights employees determined to fight against the modernization of their supermarket, which threatens to take away their livelihoods. Discount combines comedy and social criticism, offering a touching look at solidarity and resistance in the face of injustice.
In a provincial hard discount store, management announces the introduction of automatic checkouts, putting the jobs of several employees in jeopardy. In response to this threat, a group of employees decided to take action. Clandestinely, they salvaged food products destined to be thrown away and opened an "Alternative Discount" to help the underprivileged while diverting the supermarket's losses. This project, as audacious as it is illegal, unites this small team around a common cause, but also puts their solidarity and future at risk in the face of the system's implacable economic logic.
Discount is aimed at a wide audience, sensitive to social comedies that denounce the excesses of the modern world while highlighting the values of solidarity and mutual aid. In the vein of socially committed comedies such as Les Invisibles and We Want Sex Equality, the film skilfully blends humor and social criticism, offering a reflection on precariousness, over-consumption and food waste. With endearing characters played by popular actors such as Corinne Masiero, Olivier Barthelemy and Pascal Demolon, Discount manages to deal with serious themes while remaining entertaining and accessible.
Discount is a poignant, humane comedy that manages to make us laugh while questioning the world of work and class struggle. Thanks to the dynamic direction of Louis-Julien Petit and an impeccable cast, the film offers a story of collective resistance in an age of modernization and automation. Don't miss this screening on C8, this Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 9:19pm, for an evening that's both funny and moving.
