Confident and determined that he will quickly become a successful doctor, Vincent soon realizes that the reality of the medical world is a lot grimmer than what he had imagined. He is also overshadowed by his co-junior partner Abdel, a foreign doctor, played by Reda Kateb (Lost River, Zero Dark Thirty) who\u2019s obviously more competent than he is but who\u2019s forced to work as an intern because of his immigrant status. When Vincent makes a medical error, his father quickly covers it up but Abdel is not fooled\u2026<br \/>\nA charming counterpoint to shows like GREY&#8217;S ANATOMY and HOUSE, the film is framed as a rite of passage set against a social backdrop and offers an ultra-realistic vision of the French public medical\u00a0system. Helmed by Thomas Lilti, an M.D himself, the film was a box-office hit in its native France, earning Reda Kateb a Cesar for best supporting actor.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/ondemand\/hippocratesdiary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Now<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HIPPOCRATES: DIARY OF A FRENCH DOCTOR | 2015 &#8211; 104&#8242; &#8211; Comedy \/ Drama\u00a0 &#8211; Co-Written and Directed by Thomas Lilti.
