Notes from poster:

In a review by Sean Axmaker;

Quilted together with more passion than grace, this sprawling slice of life
resembles one of John Sayles' ambitious social portraits with big, interlocking
casts and scripts laced with politics. Like Sayles, Guediguian grounds a story
that sometimes strays from the gritty street opera of survival into movie
melodrama in vivid and compelling characters.
"The Town Is Quiet" rumbles with lost idealism, the collapse of working-class
solidarity and the rise of reactionary xenophobic politics.
Shot in the unflinching, hard-edged style of a documentary, it makes for a film
that is far more than simply its message. His fumbling characters find that
survival is not a matter of economics alone, it's also a matter of hope.
