    Vincent Lindon in WELCOME mode

    Since WELCOME, Vincent Lindon seemingly subscribed to this kind of roles, the savior and defender of humanity, of the homelesses, the unemployed, migrants, poor employees against world company, ruthless corporations - EN GUERRE - he is pretty good in this kind of characters. Those films made with him, I am sure they were made for him. This movie is in the perfect line of what I just say now. I would have never imagined ayone else for this poignant film. But after a while, it becomes tiring, annoying to always see Lindon in this kind of roles: savior of humanity. It is not realistic, naive but I admit the intentions of this character are authentic, genuinely positive, generous man. For instance, I would never imagine Lindon in a Human Resources ruthless manager. Never, even in dream.
