Les Têtes de l'emploi is a French comedy directed by Alexandre Charlot and Franck Magnier, released in 2016. Written by Charles Hudon and Nicolas Ragni, it stars Franck Dubosc, Elsa Zylberstein and François-Xavier Demaison in a humorous take on the world of work and bureaucratic excesses. The film will be available for streaming on Disney+ in autumn 2025.
The trailer reveals a satirical comedy about unemployment and administrative logic, featuring a trio of popular French actors.
Les Têtes de l'emploi will be available on Disney+ from October 3, 2025.
Synopsis: Stéphane, Cathy and Thierry are the best employees in their town's employment agency. But their results are so good that the agency is going to have to close for lack of unemployed! The three colleagues come up with the crazy idea of creating unemployment to save their jobs.
Les Têtes de l'emploi humorously tackles the paradox of unemployment and administrative absurdities. The film highlights a deliberately exaggerated situation: advisors so efficient that they risk losing their jobs for lack of applicants. This offbeat scenario allows us to play with the codes of social comedy.
Franck Dubosc, known for his comedic roles and colorful characters, is reunited here with François-Xavier Demaison, accustomed to strong supporting roles, and Elsa Zylberstein, who brings a more nuanced dimension. Together, they embody an unlikely trio whose absurd choices create burlesque situations.
This comedy should appeal to fans of mainstream French films, as well as those who appreciate social satire. In some respects, it may recall films such as Le Dîner de cons for its absurdist humor, or Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? for its ability to deal with social issues in a light-hearted way. The film's accessible tone makes it ideal for an evening out with family and friends.
Released in 2016, Les Têtes de l'emploi is directed by Alexandre Charlot and Franck Magnier. With its original script and trio of popular actors, it follows in the tradition of contemporary French comedies. Its arrival on Disney+ in October 2025 will enable it to reach a new audience and extend its reach to fans of social comedies.
