Directed by Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret, it sees a film crew descend on a working-class French town, with thought-provoking and sometimes darkly funny results. Flemish director Gabriel (Johan Heldenbergh) is casting in the suburbs of Boulogne-Sur-Mer. His feature is about a pregnant teen and her younger brother, and he is looking for ordinary local residents. The neighbours are surprised that he’s only casting “les pires” — what they consider to be the worst ones, or the hoodlums. But there’s raw talent in Lily (Mallory Wanecque) and hot-headed Ryan (Timéo Mahaut).
"Fascinating look at the filming experience. The Worst Ones should appeal to anyone who appreciates Andrea Arnold’s style of film-making."
