Here's a French comedy-drama mixing excellent elements with dubious choices, making its - not entirely assumed - absurdity. A cinema that plays hide-and-seek, echoing our masked faces in the cinemas of 2021. Atmosphere.
LONG-FORM ARTICLE, Jonas Follonier | He served as chairman and CEO of the Société de la Feuille d’avis de Lausanne and Imprimeries Réunies SA, and later of Edipresse, a company founded by Paul Allenspach, the publisher of "La Feuille d’avis de Lausanne," which later became "24 heures." Author of the crime novel "La peau de Sharon" (2000) under the pseudonym Ken Wood, he had previously written under another pseudonym, Marc Lacaze. Under this identity, he published short stories and columns in "Le Nouveau Quotidien"—which became "Le Temps" after its merger with "Le Journal de Genève"—and a collection, "Le dessert indien" (1996). But it is under his real name that Marc Lamunière, a leading figure in the French-speaking Swiss press of the 20th century, has just released a book celebrating his 100th birthday, which he marked in early 2021. Conceived as a series of interviews with journalist Jacques Poget, *Le Jardin des piqûres: A Centenarian’s Reflections on His Life, the Past Century, and the Days Ahead* offers us a true philosophy of life, shaped by the author’s own reading. An interview.

This is undoubtedly one of the most important causes to champion today: pluralism. In recent years, the ravages of political correctness (there are things we’re allowed to say and things we’re not allowed to say), of ready-made thinking (avoid thinking for yourself by uncritically accepting ideas prepared for you), and intellectual trends (what you’re supposed to say to «look good») have been steadily undermining the very foundation upon which democratic discussion and civilized debate rest.
