La crise (French: The Crisis), is a 1992 French film written and directed by Coline Serreau.

Victor is a legal advisor who finds himself abandoned by his wife and fired the same day. He tries to seek comfort from different friends and family members, but everyone he meets is concerned with their own problems. His morale begins to falter when he realizes that no one cares about him. He meets Michou, a simple but clingy homeless man, who is the only person to listen to him.

Victor gradually realizes that his own egocentric attitude is responsible for the lack of consideration from those close to him, and he slowly adopts a different attitude. He hires Michou as his assistant, though the latter is less than competent. In the final scene, Victor finds his wife, who had wanted to get away from him for a while, and the film ends with doubts that their relationship will continue.

Through the successive dialogues between the different protagonists that Victor meets, the film addresses various themes such as modern medicine and the overconsumption of drugs, blended families, adultery, racism, junk food, and the fear of old age.
