One of the things that betrays how important the idea of sustained and honest work is for Guédiguian is the fact that he's worked with many of the same actors since his earliest features from the 1980s. It's like he has his own theater troupe, except he makes movies with them. The central trio in many of his films is composed of Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Gérard Meylan and Guediguian’s wife, actress Ariane Ascaride.
Mathilda's slightly younger sister, Aurore , runs a successful secondhand store with her other half, Bruno . People who desperately need money will come to them with household appliances and the like, which the couple will buy for next to nothing and then repurpose or resell. "You're basically making money from other people's misery," one of the characters helpfully comments for those slow on the uptake.
The ease with which this relatively complex setup, with its sprawling cast of characters and many relationships reaching into the past, is sketched suggests something of the very polished professionalism of Guédiguian and his regular co-writer, Serge Valletti. What's surprising, though, is how much they struggle to make any of the people they've created come to life.
