BETWEEN TWO WORLDS (2021)
[OUISTREHAM]
Juliette Binoche stars as Marianne Winckler, a well-known author who gives up her comfortable Parisian lifestyle to research the working class in northern France. To do so, she goes undercover as a broke divorcée and lands a steady gig as a cleaner on the cross-Channel ferry. Amid backbreaking labor conditions, Marianne bonds with her coworkers, a group of tough, world-weary women, all while taking notes for her project. Will they discover the truth about their new friend? Adapted from the bestselling account of investigative journalist Florence Aubenas, filmmaker and acclaimed nonfiction writer Emmanuel Carrère (THE MOUSTACHE) has crafted a socially realist and nuanced portrait of the 21st-century gig economy. Binoche is as excellent as always, but it's her non-professional costars who truly shine.
