The Workshop

French film drama. Antoine attends a creative-writing workshop to learn how to write a crime thriller, but soon finds himself clashing with the rest of his group and their mentor.

La Ciotat in the south of France. Antoine is one of small group of young people at a summer creative-writing workshop. Their task is to pen a crime thriller with the help of famous novelist Olivia Dejazet. The group, as a whole, draw their inspiration from the area’s industrial heritage, a nostalgic past that Antoine feels alienated from. More concerned with the fears of the modern world, the young man soon clashes with the group and Olivia, who seems both alarmed and captivated by Antoine's violence.

In French with English subtitles.
