Olivier has created a parallel universe with his rules and rituals allowing him
o overcome the trauma suffered in his childhood. His fate will be sealed when
his path crosses with Sasha.
Hard Skills is the unlikely
meeting of two psychopaths, Sacha and Paul, brought together by the pleasure of
causing death, who find themselves confronted with the highly structured and equally
deadly reality of pharmaceutical laboratories that don't care too much about
scruples and moral constraints. After all, they know that death is part of
life! In writing the screenplay, I drew on memories of my former career in
criminology. I wanted to make this movie as part of a co-production between
France, the U.S. and Italy, the countries where we went to shoot. But the first
wave of Covid-19, the generalized lockdown, the partisan political and economic
decisions, although they hindered the development of the film, showed the
relevance of my choices, which were to expose the workings of the human mind,
with its drifts, abuses and the tragedies that result.
Stéphane Guénin - Director
To compose the original score for
this movie, I associated each character with a particular instrument: the
cello, which characterizes Paul, and the violin, which characterizes Sasha.
What begins as an opposition gradually becomes a fusion, materialized by the
piano, at first soft and steady, but whose relentless rhythm naturally leads us
to a fatal outcome. As for the enforcers of the pharmaceutical laboratorie s,
Jimmy and Connie, I illustrated their encounter with the confrontation between
electric guitar and sound design. The confrontation between guitar and percussion
underscores the pursuit and completion of the summary executions ordered by the
head of the pharmaceutical lab, the Family. The battle plan of this
megalomaniacal patriarch is illustrated by a relentless military march,
accented by a classical guitar that brings out his murderous madness.
