Alba Rohrwacher on Corporate Satire 'A Good Little Soldier' at Venice Film Festival
In Stéphane Brizé's film 'A Good Little Soldier', which debuted at the Venice Film Festival, Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher portrays HR executive Carla. This satire critiques the culture of corporate wellness, beginning with a recruitment video that CEO Arnaud (Vincent Lindon) dismisses. Set in Paris, the film adopts a verite approach and features a non-professional cast. This marks Rohrwacher's second project with Brizé and Lindon, after 'Out of Season'. Carla faces workplace harassment from manager Madame Lalouette (Carine Rouvier) and employee Madame Morel (Sandra Le Gall). The soundtrack, composed by Bertrand Blessing, includes militant drum sounds. Rohrwacher is also featured in 'Una Storia' and remains tight-lipped about 'Three Incestuous Sisters'. Ultimately, Carla feels ensnared by the system.
