Claudio C @Claudio666 Mar 13, 2026 Le dernier pour la route / One for the Road (2009) Life in a Rehabilitation Clinic (12,329 - 13 Mar 2026 – Claudio Carvalho) The journalist Hervé Chabalier (François Cluzet) is an alcoholic man that goes to a rehabilitation clinic expecting to recover his life and his family. He shares the room with Pierre (Michel Vuillermoz) and befriends also the other patients, mainly the twenty-three-year-old Magali (Mélanie Thierry). Along the period of treatment, patients have recurrence, leave the clinic and even die. "Le dernier pour la route", a.k.a. "One for the Road" (2009), is a French drama film that shows the life in a private rehabilitation clinic. The plot follows the protagonist Hervé and in flashback the viewer sees some of his episodes when drunk. The story is never corny and gives a good message in the end. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "Um Novo Caminho" ("A New Way") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Mar 29, 2012 Interesting film! Great cast, really nicely shot & quite straight to the point, this film isn't for romantics! It deals with some pretty heavy issues & gives you a fair view of what it is when you struggle big time with alcohol! See more Dec 28, 2010 It's a 'good' movie, but it's not possible to create a connection if you're not an alcoholic or don't know anyone who is. Hervé's wife's visit is probably the most powerful scene. I also like the rapprochement with his son for not falling into an easy and "happy end". </br> </br> See more Oct 10, 2010 Francois Cluzet toujours au top, de tres bon second roles et un film juste sur un sujet tabou : l'alcoolisme. Pas le genre de film que l'on va voir et revoir, ni un film culte et encore moins un grand film, mais surement a voir une fois.
