Guru

At a time when trust in politics has waned and religion no longer provides answers, Mathieu Vasseur, known as “Matt”, has become the most watched personal development coach in France. He offers clarity, strength and catharsis on stage, leading seminars that electrify audiences and promise transformation. But behind the carefully crafted image lies a much more disturbing reality. As Matt’s influence grows, so do the mechanisms of control that bind his followers to him. Emotional dependence replaces self-knowledge and persuasion quietly turns into psychological dominance. What begins as a shared journey to find meaning in life gradually reveals the darker side of a system built on power, fascination and subjugation. Director Yann Gozlan and César winner Pierre Niney join forces once again in a gripping tale of success, power and greed. After Mr. Flawless and The Crash of Flight A800, Niney’s charismatic protagonist – “Mathieu Vasseur” – is re-introduced.
