Synopsis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Antony Cordier<\/strong>‘s satirical black comedy The Party’s Over<\/em><\/strong> is a battle of the classes that takes no sides and pulls no punches, skewering both the haves and have-nots with equal delight. It all begins when Mehdi, a working-class kid who’s just graduated from law school, is invited to vacation with his girlfriend’s wealthy parents in the south of France. When her arrogant father (Laurent Lafitte, also seen in this year’s TAFFF program in The Richest Woman in the World<\/em>) offends their proletariat live-in caretaker, tensions spiral out of control between the two families. And Mehdi suddenly finds himself in the role of negotiator… with the film’s superb cast relishing every farcical moment along the way.<\/p>\n

Director’s biography<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fascinated by the notion of social class from the get-go, director Antony Cordier<\/strong> dedicated his first film, the documentary Beau comme un camion<\/em> (2000), about the evolution of the working class, to his own working-class family. His first narrative feature, Cold Showers<\/em> (2005), exploring the sexualization of class relationships, d\u00e9buted in the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, nabbed the Prix Louis Delluc, and the film’s lead, Johan Lib\u00e9reau, won the Most Promising Actor C\u00e9sar Award. His Four Lovers<\/em> (2010) premiered in Competition at the Venice Film Festival. That was followed by Gaspard at the Wedding<\/em> (2017), all 24 episodes of the comedy TV series UFOs<\/em> (2021-2022) and three episodes of Irr\u00e9sistible<\/em> (2023). The Party’s Over<\/em><\/strong>, Cordier’s fourth feature, premiered in this year’s Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/screenshot-2025-09-28-at-10.00.31.png” image_size=”full” link=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/win-a-trip-to-paris\/” target=”_blank” align=”center”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/classe_moyenne_generique_120x160_en.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
