Soccer, the sport adored by billions of fans, hides a world that is often little-known: that of transfers and behind-the-scenes operations, where everything is played out in secret. With Mercato, Tristan Séguéla delivers a gripping insight into this merciless world. Previewed first at Pathé Levallois and then in the prestigious Grande Salle at Grand Rex, this screening will be enhanced by the presence of the film's team, making for a captivating and unforgettable evening.
Mercato follows Driss, a player's agent played by Jamel Debbouze, in a race against time to save his career and reputation. As the end of the transfer period approaches, tensions mount and obstacles multiply, revealing a world where financial stakes often dictate decisions.
The script deftly blends humor and drama, buoyed by performances from Monia Chokri and Hakim Jemili, who bring emotional richness and subtle balance to this thrilling thriller. Mercato doesn't limit itself to the world of sport: it also explores universal themes such as ambition, moral dilemmas and human relationships, while drawing a sharp portrait of the soccer industry.
What sets Mercato apart is its fresh look at a world that is well-known but rarely explored in cinema. By combining the codes of thriller and comedy-drama, the film appeals as much to soccer fans as to those looking for human and captivating intrigue. The richness of its writing and the quality of its cast make it a must-see for this cinematic season.
Mercato previews are an invitation to discover a powerful story in an exceptional setting, with the film's team. An evening not to be missed by fans of cinema, soccer and stories where every minute counts.
