Business Club

About this title

"J'suis snob" reads a shirt in a Vicomte-A boutique, while Viscount Arthur de Soultrait - the Vicomte A himself - stands on a balcony, caught up in a conversation about how to improve his stagnant brand. It's just one of many telling moments in BUSINESS CLUB that speak to the observational powers of filmmakers Chloe Mahieu and Lila Pinell. BUSINESS CLUB is a brilliant portrait of de Soultrait and the world he lives in. He is an aristocrat who plays up his family's links to royalty for Chinese and American investors, a somewhat hapless businessman who doesn't seem to understand the basics of branding, and a multimillionaire who bobs his head to hip-hop while driving - in a moment reminiscent of the opening scene in Office Space.
