The film in theaters: The mixture of genres by Michel Leclerc
The director of Genre is not afraid of adventures where there are blows to take. In this case, approach the #MeToo movement by the prism of a comedy where a conservative cop (Léa Drucker, dements)
Infiltrated in a feminist collective will, to avoid losing his coverage, accuse an innocent man – and completely deconstructed – (Benjamin Lavernhe, irresistible) of rape. To a thousand places of a provocative gesture, the filmmaker questions as in all his films the notions of commitment. And tells in a way as irresistibly as it is eviction everything that this major movement has changed, the intimate questions that he aroused in men as in women. An uncomfortable but never disturbing film. A way of not reducing an essential question to the cries of goldsmith between progressives and reacts.

The film in VOD: Twenty gods de Louise Courvoisier
An orphan teenager undertakes to make the best county in the region to have the means to get custody of his sister. So much for the pitch of this film by Louise Courvoisier which, since its presentation at Cannes last year, was a triumphant success in theaters while collecting the trophies in all the festivals where it was presented to its two César won last February. And it is only justice for this first long as endearing as enthusiastic, an initiatory story at the heart of the Jura filmed in Scope like a western. To see or review without moderation

The series: The Last of Usseason 2
Two years after having marked the spirits, Ellie is back! The series from the PlayStation video game has just launched its new chapter, even more intense, in the heart of an ever more brutal world. True to the spirit of the title, this season 2 mixes visceral violence, emotion on edge and extreme tensions. The staging inspired, the writing always as precise and the infected even more terrifying! In this chaos, Bella Ramsey is everywhere, breathtaking. Despite a sometimes uneven rhythm, the series seizes, upsets, and confirms its status as a phenomenon.

The film on TV: Asterix and Obelix: the Middle Empire by Guillaume Canet
By venturing into the Braies of the Petit Gaulois, Guillaume Canet offers entertainment which holds up and owes it above all to his brilliant casting of second roles, from Jonathan Cohen to Angèle, via Marion Cotillard. Rather than being satisfied with a faithful adaptation of an album, the director chooses to appropriate the universe ofAsterix With an original story and an adventure in China. If some scenes lack impact and humor is uneven, the film is distinguished by its humanity and the friendship between Asterix and Obelix, at the heart of the story.

The classic: The incorruptible de Brian de Palma
A sacred piece of cinema. Brian de Palma freely adapts the Memoirs of Eliott Ness to deliver a black work that transpires the thriller by all the pores. From the stylized staging of the Chicago from prohibition to iconic and bewitching music of Ennio Morricone, the story takes on an epic, almost biblical dimension. Kevin Costner and Sean Connery shine in honest cops, but it is especially Robert de Niro who bursts the screen, inhabited in Al Capone, giving the Mafieux a mythological aura. The dramaturgy is omnipresent, the huge suspense and the cult sequences are linked, to the famous scene of the cradle hitting the steps of the station – obvious tribute to the Potemkin battleship – assuring these Incorruptible A place in legend.
