Film show: 'French Tech' sends up 21st century work culture

ENCORE! © Anne-Francoise Brillot-Why Not Productions

Film critic Lisa Nesselson returns to the studio after a pandemic-prompted hiatus to tell us about the latest comedy from director Bruno Podalydès, as he skewers the jargon-infested, productivity-obsessed contemporary world of work in "French Tech". We also discuss a debut movie that explores a teenage girl's connection with an older man, as 20-year-old Suzanne Lindon directs and stars in "Spring Blossom", which was written when she was only 15 years old.

We then zoom in on the excellent animation on offer in the French city of Annecy, as the annual festival celebrates 60 years of existence. Lisa points out some of the highlights from this year's programme, including animated features that are currently still in production.

And we applaud actor Alex Lutz's turn on the tennis court as the tortured and determined protagonist of "5ème Set".
