Classe moyenne is a French comedy directed by Anthony Cordier, whose credits include Gaspard va au mariage and the OVNI(s) series. Presented at the 2025 Cineastes' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival, the film will open in theaters on September 24, 2025. Written by Anthony Cordier and Jean-Alain Laban, it features a prestigious cast including Laurent Lafitte, Élodie Bouchez, Ramzy Bedia and Laure Calamy.
The first video preview highlights the film's satirical atmosphere and the social tensions at the heart of the story, confirming the comic and corrosive tone announced by the Quinzaine des Cinéastes.
Classe moyenne is due in French cinemas on September 24, 2025.
Synopsis: Mehdi plans to spend a quiet summer at his in-laws' home. But when he arrives, a conflict breaks out between his fiancée's family and the villa's janitor couple. Coming from a modest background, he thinks he can act as mediator. But the situation quickly degenerates...
According to the Quinzaine des Cinéastes presentation, Classe moyenne is a satirical comedy about class relations. Twenty years after Douche froide (2005), Anthony Cordier returns to Cannes with a film that pits characters from different backgrounds against each other in the same vacation home, where social tensions explode.
The film features actors already well known to the general public. Laurent Lafitte returns to social comedy after roles in Au revoir là-haut and L'Heure de la sortie. Élodie Bouchez, winner of several acting awards, brings her sensitivity to this family fresco. Ramzy Bedia and Laure Calamy, both very much a part of contemporary French cinema, complete the cast. The cast also includes Noée Abita, Sami Outalbali and Mahia Zrouki.
This comedy should appeal to audiences drawn to tales of social satire and confrontation between social backgrounds. It could recall the wry humor of films such as Le Prénom (2012) or Le Dîner de cons (1998), while following in the footsteps of contemporary dramatic comedies such as En corps ( 2022) or La Fracture (2021). The film will also appeal to those who follow the Cannes selections and want to discover original, committed French works.
Classe moyenne is a 1:35 French comedy by Anthony Cordier, co-written with Jean-Alain Laban. Presented at Cannes in the Quinzaine des Cinéastes section, the film brings together Laurent Lafitte, Élodie Bouchez, Ramzy Bedia, Laure Calamy and other well-known actors. Scheduled for release in France on September 24, 2025.
