Synopsis
A Man in a Hurry (Un homme pressé, 2018) is a French comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, led by Fabrice Luchini. Alain runs his life at a sprint — a sharp executive, a brilliant talker, no room for family or rest. Then a stroke stops him cold.
His body recovers fast, but language slips away: he reaches for one word and another falls out. Jeanne (Leïla Bekhti), a young speech therapist, takes on his recovery, and the slow grind of relearning words reshapes them both. The story draws loosely on a real executive's memoir of life after aphasia.
Casting Luchini, famous for his rapid-fire eloquence, as a man robbed of speech is the film's quiet masterstroke. It's a warm argument for slowing down before life forces the issue. Stream A Man in a Hurry (2018) online on iFILM.
