The series: Dragon Ball Daima

Akira Toriyama worked a lot on this new series before his sudden death on March 1st. The story takes place just after the end of Dragon Ball Z and the destruction of the horrible Boo. In the Kingdom of Demons, the new ruler, the vicious Gomah, decides to use the Crystal Balls of the Earth to transform all our heroes into 6 year old children! A crazy starting point which sets the scene for a series with a cool and relaxed atmosphere, and frankly neat animation. Coming out of yet another endless quest for power, this Dragon Ball Daima rather has the ambition to reconnect with the fun of the first manga and this spirit of adventure which characterized Dragon Ball 40 years ago.

Watch Dragon Ball Daima on Netflix (a new episode every Saturday)

The film on VOD: Vice-Versa 2

The biggest hit in animated cinema of all time arrives on VOD at the right time before the end of the school holidays. Less brilliant and surprising than the original, Vice-Versa 2 is nonetheless a gem of entertainment which tells us about a decisive weekend in the life of Riley, now a teenager and governed by new emotions, including the invasive Anxiety.

The film on TV: November by Cédric Jimenez

Two years after its cinema release, Cédric Jimenez’s thriller about the hunt for the Bataclan terrorists is coming to free-to-air television. The director of North Bac leaves the attacks off-camera and embraces the point of view of the investigators (led by Jean Dujardin) to deliver a pure action film of formidable effectiveness, like a Zero Dark Thirty stripped of its tragic dimension.

Watch November Sunday on France 2

The horror film: Saint Maud by Rose Glass

Deprived of release in French cinemas in 2020 due to the pandemic, Saint Maudthe first feature by English director Rose Glass, can be caught up, for latecomers, on MUBI. This story of a bigoted nurse thinking she can save her patient’s soul, sort of Carrie relocated to a refrigerating English seaside resort, revealed an apprentice superstar (Morfydd Clark, the Galadriel of Rings of Power) and the iconoclastic look of a beginner filmmaker, who has since confirmed the hopes placed in her with the dilapidated neo-noir Love Lies Bleeding. Ideal for a elevated Halloween.

The documentary: Kate Winslet, definitely an actress

This new documentary by Claire Duguet retraces in a somewhat conventional manner but with great precision the remarkable career of the star of Titanic. Coming from a modest family but where acting was a tradition, Kate Winslet established herself in English cinema and then in Hollywood with an unshakeable conviction which seduced the greatest directors, from Peter Jackson to James Cameron. A determination matched by a rare talent that nothing can stop, more than 30 years after his debut in the series Dark Season.
