Directed by Jean-Marc Moutout

Starring Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Valerie Dreville

91mins France

Based on a true story with skillful direction by Jean-Marc Moutout who co- wrote the script.  Early One Morning has shades of Joel Schumacher’s Falling Down with its themes of redundancy, loss and family crisis and a convincing performance by Jean-Darroussin.  Entertaining stuff that really taps into the current vibe on financial meltdown.
