Abstract

This paper situates Éric Gravel’s 2021 feature film À plein temps at a hinge point between the “cinema of precarity” and something new. Building on Lauren Berlant’s (2022) conceptualisation of inconvenience, I argue that the film’s depiction of strike action as inconvenient is precisely what allows it to portray and comment on an emergent post-neoliberal structure of feeling in France and beyond.
