Cedric Klapisch made many films we cannot forget including Paris with Juliette Binoche and Romain Duris, Pot Luck or The Spanish Apartment or the Russian Dolls. His most recent film A Slice of the Pie is being shown in New York at the IFC Center. It all started in 2008 when the financial crisis revealed what Occupy Wall Street coined “the 1%.” In Klapisch’s movie the life a successful Fund Manager crosses the existence of a plant worker from Dunkirk representing the remaining 99%. Introducing his movie the other night at the IFC cinema, the director said: “The crisis revealed that in our world there are people who share and people who eat”. The film opens with a simple but very warm birthday party where the pie in the underprivileged family is cut in so many parts that nothing is left to eat. Karine Viard – Klapisch has known her for the last 20 years – is an extraordinary ordinary woman. The film is entertaining, at times really funny, beautifully filmed and portrays well the cohabitation of two worlds which when they collide bring violence and death..
