As this year’s Cannes Film Festival unveils its lineup, one of last year’s standout Cannes entries is not only finally arriving in theaters stateside, but is firmly cementing itself as one of 2016’s greatest films. Weaving a relatively simple sounding narrative but one filled with a startling amount of emotional power and resonance, The Measure Of A Man comes to us from director Stephane Brize, and while she may not be a household name, this is a film that will hopefully be talked about a great deal going forward in 2016.

Like Bicycle Thieves’ Antonio Ricci (Lamberto Maggiorani) almost seventy years before him, Thierry Taugourdeau (Lindon) the protagonist of The Measure of a Man, is simply trying to earn an honest living to support his family. He has been unemployed for well over a year and must make ends meet with a small unemployment check. He spends most of his days trying to find a job, and at night he puts on his best face to appease the fears of his wife (Karine de Mirbeck) and his teenage son (Matthieu Schaller) who has a disability that will require special education in the near future. While Thierry’s overall situation is absolutely lamentable, there is no “time bomb” outlook in the meditative film, rather than push this everyman into “Michael Douglas in any 90s thriller” mode, director Stephane Brize invites us to observe and perhaps develop empathy.
