UnMonde en fusion
“First, they restructured to survive, then came the acquisitions for business growth and now they are merging in order to conquer, impose their brand and ensure a world-wide presence. Yesterday’s competitors are joining forces to become international giants, whilst the system of communicating vases is turning States into dwarves. With the ever-increasing power of the “Market”, dimensions are taking on an unprecedented size: the financial sums at stake, the number of employees involved, the ambitions declared and the dividends expected. In this great game of planetary Monopoly, I chose to film the players more than the game itself. I took the merger of three European steel groups as a pretext to have a close look at the top managers, presidents and other managing directors, all them incarnating the men with power. I watched the theatre of the meetings, their verbal inebriation and their codified, controlled innuendoes. I often had to wait in front of the closed doors of this untransparent world, where secrets and confidentiality reign'” (Julie Bertuccelli)
