Commentaire du New York Times

PARIS — The main character is a harried parent just trying to slog through the routine of the day: dropping off the toddler at day care, picking up the mail, running errands.

But in “Oppressed Majority” (“Majorité Opprimée”), a provocative short film by the French screenwriter and director Eléonore Pourriat, the parent doing the chores is a man, and all the gender roles are reversed, creating a world in which men confront what it would be like to face the daily indignities, compromises and risks that women often face because of their appearance, second-class status in the workplace and gender bias.

The 11-minute film was originally released online four years ago to little notice. In February, Ms. Pourriat added English subtitles, and viewership on YouTube took off, attracting nearly 8.5 million hits within less than a month of its release. With the new attention came the conversation about sexism that Ms. Pourriat (pronounced poo-ree-AH) had hoped to provoke when she first released the film.
