synopsis

During a solo voyage across the Indian Ocean, a man wakes to find that the hull of his 12-meter sailboat has been punctured in a collision with a drifting container. Without his radio or navigation equipment, he becomes caught in a violent storm…

Un Gravity marin dont on ressort puissamment transformé, et émotionnellement secoué par la virtuosité de la réalisation et le jeu sans compromis d’un Robert Redford épatant dans le désespoir…

àVoir-àLire.com

The movie is an impressively realized work of minimalist storytelling that foregrounds Redford’s physicality more than any other role in his celebrated career. His performance defines the movie to an almost shockingly experimental degree.

synopsis

Fanny Brice is hired as a performer in the revue Keeney’s Music Hall. There, she meets Nick Arnstein, a sophisticated gentleman, and impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, who chooses her as the star of his famous Ziegfeld Follies. But fame never lasts forever.

Visuel : Funny Girl

Comblés, nous le sommes, en premier lieu, par la créatrice du rôle principal de Funny Girl à Broadway, par ce monstre de vitalité et de drôlerie, par cette comédienne étourdissante, chanteuse hors pair, danseuse et acrobate à l’occasion, qu’est Barbra Streisand.

Le Monde

The musical biography of comedian Fanny Brice emerges as a true classic, as enthralling as the day it was released. It is a superb example of Hollywood craftsmanship in which all elements have been blended to perfection with inspired artistry.

synopsis

At the end of World War II, Katie unexpectedly runs into Hubbell at a party; he has just been discharged from the army. She recalls her college years, when this young man from high society had already caught her eye — she, the staunch communist activist…

Sydney Pollack a réussi, comme souvent, a mêler une histoire romanesque à la grande Histoire de son pays. (…) Le film, qui assume sa part de romantisme rétro, doit aussi beaucoup à son couple vedette. Barbra Streisand et Robert Redford, l’un comme l’autre au sommet de leur carrière, dégagent un charme indéniable tout a fait propice.

Visuel : The Way we Were

Près d’un demi-siècle plus tard, la nostalgie poétique de ces images est magique.

Le Nouvel Obs

The movie has the look of a big Hollywood romantic film but because director Pollack looks corruption in the face and exposes it for what it feels like, The Way We Were emerges as one of the least sentimental love stories ever filmed.

synopsis

In a small Spanish town, a group of elderly ladies decides to celebrate Christmas Eve with a dinner called “Invite a Poor Person to Your Table”: each wealthy household will host a homeless person for dinner that evening.

Visuel : Placido

Luis García Berlanga signe une comédie d’une lucidité féroce sous ses airs de satire de Noël et déploie un spectacle hilarant mais dantesque de l’ordre bourgeois, révélant l’obscénité de cet ordre social et la menace de dérèglement permanente qui couve sous l’apparence de l’ordre.

synopsis

Baxter, a New York insurance employee eager for a promotion, lends his apartment to his married and unfaithful boss. On Christmas Eve, he discovers one of his colleagues, who attempted suicide, in his bed…

Visuel : The Apartment

En dépit de son humour, c’est une critique sociale acerbe et une analyse des moeurs sexuelles de l’Amérique. Superbement photographié en CinemaScope, le film mêle habilement plusieurs genres, en commençant en satire, se transformant en drame poignant puis finissant en comédie sentimentale.

1001 films, Éd. Omnibus

Diamond-sharp satire with a brilliant performance from Lemmon.

Time Out Film Guide

Wilder and Diamond’s screenplay is the foundation of this well-told tale. It makes masterly use of set-ups and payoffs, most of them encoded in props. The movie is a masterpiece, structure-wise and otherwise.

synopsis

Calvin and Beth Jarrett form an ideal couple of the American upper-middle class; their son swims and sings in the high school choir. Behind the façade of their comfortable home, the Jarrett family is on the brink of collapse…

Visuel : Ordinary People

Ordinary People bénéficie de l’extraordinaire qualité des acteurs pour donner corps aux sentiments enfouis de cette famille au bord de l’implosion. Redford, en tant qu’acteur, a su tirer d’eux le meilleur et livre ainsi une oeuvre magistrale. La réalisation, très discrète, mais essentielle, sait jouer avec les non-dits de manière proprement saisissante. Toujours dans la retenue, avec une grande pudeur, le cinéaste plonge au coeur des névroses cachées de ses personnages. Avec peu de musique et une attention de chaque instant à la justesse de jeu, Ordinary People n’en rajoute jamais dans le mélo et se soustrait sans cesse au pathos pour mieux bouleverser le spectateur.

synopsis

Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid are partners in all kinds of robberies. Mischievous outlaws, they roam early 1900s America, constantly thumbing their noses at the authorities…

Visuel : Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Peu importe que le vrai Butch Cassidy et son acolyte aient été de douteux personnages. Le film apporte sa joyeuse contribution aux mythes fondateurs américains, y insuffle la légèreté de la comédie, le rythme trépidant des films d’action. Un romantisme solaire éclaire le récit, y compris à l’heure tragique de sa conclusion. Et la savoureuse autodérision de ce western tardif lui donne, en prime, un petit gout de spaghetti.

Télérama

Butch Cassidy was thoroughly modern, a star-making vehicle for Newman and Redford that reflected a need for the genre to turn the page and that feels as much of its time as it does authentic to Wyoming in the late 1890s. With Katharine Ross at the center of a love triangle between friends, the film attempted to bring Jules and Jim to the American mainstream, taking a lesson from the French new wave on how to revivify old Hollywood craft.

French version
Duration :
82 minutes
Format :
digital
Age classification :
Recommandé à partir de 7 ans

synopsis

This is the story of a little girl who is different. Her world is Coyoacán, Mexico. Spirited and full of life, she’s endlessly curious. And when challenges arise, she faces them with a boundless imagination. That little girl’s name is Frida Kahlo!

Good reasons to see the film, according to Benshi.fr:

  1. To discover the young artist Frida Kahlo once was

  2. The music by Olivia Ruiz and Laetitia Pansanel-Garric

  3. The inspiring values of courage and determination that fill the story

 

Les cinéastes d’animation André Kadi et Karine Vézina s’emparent d’une période moins connue de l’histoire de Frida Kahlo : son enfance. Grâce à son carnet intime composé à la fois d’écrits et de dessins, d’une documentation et de rencontres, ils retracent quelques années clés de la vie de l’artiste. Hola Frida nous invite ainsi dans la vie d’une artiste en herbe.

synopsis

The story, spanning nearly thirty years, of a Jewish architect born in Hungary, László Toth. Having returned from a concentration camp, he emigrates with his wife, Erzsébet, to the United States after the end of World War II to pursue his “American dream.”

Visuel : The Brutalist

The performances are savagely good, with Pearce and Brody both on awards season form. And it’s shot on rarely seen 70mm film stock, which means that it looks like something beautiful, haunting and strange, but always from the long-forgotten past.

The Times

Corbets Inszenierung ist ein präzise choreographierter Taumel, in dem Kamera, Montage und das Verhalten der Figuren einer ungeahnten Kausalität folgen. Selbst die Architektur birgt ein Geheimnis: Sie ist nicht nach dem Gusto des Bauherrn gestaltet, sondern bildet insgeheim das Trauma des Architekten ab.
