A Chance To Win

"A Chance To Win" (Pour l'honneur, 2023) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Two villages in southern France have despised each other for as long as anyone can remember — and their annual rugby derby is where that rivalry plays out. The 100th edition was supposed to be the biggest one yet. Then a group of asylum seekers settled in the area.

Director Philippe Guillard plays both sides without a verdict: some residents welcome the newcomers onto the team, others don't want them near the pitch. Olivier Marchal and Philippe Duquesne lead an ensemble that keeps the comedy grounded enough to ask the question seriously. The match result matters less than who agrees to show up.
