synopsis

David and Benji are two cousins ​​who are very different from each other. They reunite for a trip across Poland to honor their grandmother. The adventure takes an unexpected turn when old tensions between this odd couple resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

Visuel : A Real Pain

Jesse Eisenberg signe un second film à la fois drôle, émouvant et profond, offrant un regard décalé sur une question désormais entre les mains des générations qui n’ont pas traversé directement la Shoah, mais pour qui pèse le poids d’une histoire impossible a digérer.

Franceinfo Culture

Eisenberg’s remarkable film is heartfelt, awkward, full of pain it’s desperate to do something with, and laced with an all-too-necessary mordant humor. It at once recalls the works of Woody Allen, Alexander Payne and, most notably, the comedy of Adam Sandler.

synopsis

Nora can hardly believe her eyes when her father shows up at her mother’s funeral. After all, he’d abandoned their family years ago, something Nora has never forgiven him for. Thus she’s all the more surprised when this once celebrated director offers her the lead role in his latest film.

Visuel : Sentimental Value

Forgiveness is an act, while mercy is a performance. The distinction between the two may be subtle, but through the extraordinary grace of Trier’s filmmaking, which here revels in the transmutational power of filmmaking itself, Sentimental Value renders it larger than life.

synopsis

What begins as a minor accident sets in motion a series of escalating consequences.

 

Visuel : It Was Just an Accident

There are no wasted shots and no squandered moments in this picture because it understands that cinema is life, imbued with the power to rediscover the past, to protect the present, and to imagine a future.

RogerEbert.com

It Was Just an Accident is far from a concession to the ruling regime in Iran. If anything, it’s the opposite: a taut, intricately crafted drama about the traumas suffered by political dissidents and other opponents of power, whether they’re renowned directors like himself or just regular working-class citizens.

synopsis

In a flooded world, a lonely cat boards a boat with other animals. But getting along with them proves even harder than facing his fear of water... 

 

A movie brimming with sentiment but not sentimentality, this is one of the most moving animated films in recent memory, and, beyond that, groundbreaking too.

Indiewire

Magnifique et immersif, Flow convoque avec un mélange d’humour et de gravité la survie des espèces qui resteront après notre départ. Une fable inspirée sur le vivre-ensemble des animaux, et sur notre responsabilité dans la catastrophe écologique en cours.

synopsis

A disillusioned and paranoid former revolutionary, Bob lives on the fringes of society with his daughter Willa. When his sworn enemy resurfaces after sixteen years and Willa disappears, Bob will stop at nothing to find her—confronting, for the first time, the consequences of his past.

Visuel de One Battle After Another

Un genre après l’autre, un film après l’autre, Paul Thomas Anderson raconte l’éternelle lutte antifasciste avec une affolante virtuosité. Comment ne pas tomber à genoux devant un geste aussi implacable et sûr de lui ?

La Septième Obsession

Revolution. Immigration. Corruption. White supremacy. Basically, the absolute state of things. People with good intentions, people with bad intentions, all crashing against each other sexually, morally, violently. PTA has a lot to say — but never with a sledgehammer, never on a soapbox, and never to the detriment of entertainment. It’s a blast from start to finish. And there are many blasts within.

synopsis

Upon his release from prison, Jake Blues is taken by his brother Elwood to see Sister Mary Stigmata, who runs the Catholic orphanage where they were raised. They must raise $5,000 to save the institution — otherwise, it will be shut down.

 

The Blues Brothers

One of the great American comedy films… It’s just a joy to watch even forty-three years on. John Belushi was never better as the lead. He’s funny just standing there. 

BBC

For brilliantly executed slapstick comedy, wildly inventive car chases, unforgettable lines and a stonking blues soundtrack, you just can’t beat 'The Blues Brothers'.

Duration :
137 minutes
Actors :
Louis Wolheim, Lewis Ayres, John Wray, Arnold Lucy, Ben Alexander
Awards :
Best Picture and Best Director, Oscars 1930
Based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque

synopsis

With a mind aflame with patriotic fervour and the glory of war, young idealist Paul Bäumer and his flag-waving classmates enlist in the German Army at the outset of World War I. The unripe, chest-thumping men set foot on the muddy battlefield, dreaming of performing heroic feats. Instead, only the horrors of war await the inexperienced brothers-in-arms. As the battle-scarred soldiers end up serving as cannon fodder, they are forced to witness the merciless extermination of their comrades.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Displaying technical brilliance – in particular the stupendous tracking shots over trenches where lines of infantry stand in wait – this doesn’t skimp on the misery either. It hammers home a distressingly realistic vision of the inanity of war. This deserves a place alongside Renoir’s 'La Grande llusion' and Kubrick’s 'Paths Of Glory' as one of the most effective pacifist arguments ever committed to celluloid.

synopsis

For years, Filumena has been both the servant and mistress of Domenico, who has now decided to marry a young woman from a respectable family. Determined to give her three children a father, she sets a trap for him by pretending to be on her deathbed…

Le motif de l’amour-haine est bien présent, l’agressivité étant, en fin de compte, le meilleur moyen de prendre conscience d’une affection réciproque ; il constitue un principe comique autant qu’un prétexte à rebondissements, et confère au film son énergie et sa dynamique. Sensible et cruel, attentif aux déchirements de toute une société comme à ceux d’un couple conflictuel, constamment surprenant et, finalement, inclassable, ce Mariage à l’italienne mérite décidément d’être redécouvert.

synopsis

Thelonious “Monk” Ellison is a literature professor. He is also a frustrated writer whose manuscripts are constantly rejected by publishers. Each time, they suggest he write works about African-Americans in a more “black” style. Monk then decides to write a satirical and parodic work. He publishes this new novel under a pseudonym. Against all expectations, the work becomes a huge success, particularly among the white intelligentsia…

Film en forme de coup de pied bienvenu dans la fourmiliere du racisme latent des élites progressistes.

Télérama

Americain Fiction

Elegantly walking a line between absurdist satire and family drama, this is a clever send-up of how the broadness of Black culture gets reduced to cliché.

Empire

Jeffrey Wright and American Fiction will forever be inextricable thanks to the actor’s committed approach to the pointedly humorous and insightful material.
