Movie time: A Pied d'Oeuvre / At Work

At Work” tells the true story of a man who leaves a job to follow his passion: writing.

Finishing a text does not mean being published; being published does not mean being read; being read does not mean being loved; being loved does not mean being successful; and success promises no fortune.

Valérie Donzelli signe, après "L'Amour et les Forêts" (2023), un film à la fois gracieux et bouleversant. Télérama

​​​Valérie Donzelli, inspirée comme jamais, adapte avec brio le récit de Franck Courtés. "À pied d'œuvre" est sobre, juste et modeste. Quant à Bastien Bouillon, quel comédien rare ! À la fois sombre et gracieux. Il a tout le temps l'air d'écouter son âme, dans la poussière et les gravats. Le Figaro​

A powerful tribute to artistic work and commitment—without misery, leaving you uplifted. The film captures the fragile battle to live for one’s art — and the quiet force of hope that makes it possible. Bastien Bouillon confirms himself as a major French actor. Arnaud de Fontenay
