- Stéphane Brizé's A Good Little Soldier world premieres at Venice this week before its North American debut at Toronto, with Deadline revealing the first trailer exclusively.
- Alba Rohrwacher stars as Carlotta, a high-performing HR manager whose professional and personal life unravels after she is confronted with a case of toxic management.
- Vincent Lindon plays the pushy CEO in his sixth collaboration with Brizé; Lindon previously won Best Actor at Cannes for Brizé's The Measure of a Man.
- The film is Brizé's 11th fiction feature and continues his workplace-drama focus following The Measure of a Man, At War, and Another World.
- Gaumont is handling international sales and announced a flurry of deals in the leadup to Venice, with additional territories still under negotiation.
- The film is a Gaumont production led by Sidonie Dumas, coproduced with France 3 Cinéma and backed by Canal+, with a French theatrical release set for November 25.
Why it matters: Gaumont's pre-Venice deal flurry signals international distributor appetite for Brizé's brand of socially pointed workplace drama, while the Lindon–Rohrwacher casting pairs a Cannes winner with one of Italian cinema's most acclaimed current actresses. The November 25 French release gives the title a domestic awards-season runway off the Venice–Toronto platform launch.
