Restaurant | Infidelity
At the port of Sète, Mr. Slimani, a tired 60-year-old, drags himself toward a shipyard job that has become more and more difficult to cope with as the years go by. He is a divorced father who forces himself to stay close to his family despite the schisms and tensions that are easily sparked off and that financial difficulties make even more intense. He is going through a delicate period in his life and, recently, everything seems to make him feel useless: a failure. He wants to escape from it all and set up his own restaurant. However, it appears to be an unreachable dream given his meager, irregular salary that is not anywhere near enough to supply what he needs to realize his ambition. But he can still dream and talk about it with his family in particular. A family that gradually gives its support to this project, which comes to symbolize the means to a better life. Thanks to its ingeniousness and hard work, this dream soon becomes a reality...or almost... Directed by Abdellatif Kechiche.

Shooting was supposed to start in the summer of 2005 but one of the leading actors was sick, which resulted in a major delay. Thus, filming actually started on 5 September 2005 and was still running by 16 January 2006. The set was on a boat in the port of Sète for at least six weeks from October to December 2006. Outside temperatures were very low, as opposed to what they should have been if schedule could have been held. This led the production to set up large tents near the boat with heating systems for the actors and extras to remain comfortable between takes.
This film is part of the Criterion Collection, spine #527.
"Julia: [talking to Slimane about her husband] Is that a family man ? Serguei: Never there for his kid."
"Salah: You know why he's doing all this?. It's for you, for his children. It's not for himself He couldn't care less. All that's behind us now. We are old now. We try to hang on, bust it a little more. For you. If it was only about us, a few olives and a hunk of bread would be plenty. But when we see you happy and all, that's fantastic for us. We live again. You see? Solitude, exile , humiliation... All that's behind us. We think at least we didn't, we aren't just... We didn't immigrate for nothing."
