Fire's Share

Fire's Share (La Part du feu) is a 1978 French drama film directed by Étienne Périer, who co-wrote the screenplay with Dominique Fabre. Running about 105 minutes, the picture stars Michel Piccoli, Claudia Cardinale, and Jacques Perrin, with supporting appearances by Rufus, Gabriel Cattand, Hélène Vincent, and Antoinette Moya. Shot in French, it belongs to the tradition of socially minded French drama of the late 1970s, following ordinary people as they grapple with hardship and conflict. Anchored by its strong ensemble cast and Périer's direction, the feature stands as a representative example of the era's French cinematic production.
