Lors de la «Convention de la droite» le samedi 28 septembre dernier, le polémiste français Eric Zemmour a tenu un discours que plus d'un a jugé raciste et islamophobe. A-t-il franchi la ligne rouge? Analyse point par point, sans morale à la petite semaine.
Le journaliste suisse Jacques Pilet a sorti le mois dernier son deuxième roman aux Editions de l'Aire, Hôtel Belvédère. A sa lecture, nous nous plongeons dans la Suisse de 1914. Au sein d’une Europe en feu, un jeune fils de paysan veveysan, Jules, qui découvre l'amour avec une étudiante russe et décide de partir en Afrique. Un récit prenant, qui nous parle de l'Histoire tragique au moyen d'une histoire sympathique.
In this new comedy from Guillaume Nicloux, Gérard Depadieu and Michel Houllebecq (the real deal) meet in a thalassotherapy establishment. Philosophizing endlessly about trivial matters, they try to cope with their cure as best they can, while taking potshots at today's society.

Michel Siggen, who swears by Aristotle and St. Thomas, has supplemented his course at a high school in Valais with an explanatory brochure on Jean-François Braunstein’s essay *Philosophy Gone Mad*. A work that is said to explain «the current anthropological crisis.».
French TV presenter Elisabeth Quin, who is also a writer, has dedicated her latest book, published in early 2019, to a hell she herself is going through: that of losing her sight. Extremely sensitive, this gem of a book has above all one great virtue: that of the direct truth of sensations.
The case caused quite a stir in the Kingdom of France. It's the story of Maurice the rooster, whose early-morning squawk annoyed a retired couple.
After *Bohemian Rhapsody* and *Rocketman*, yet another musical biopic—and arguably one too many—is hitting theaters. *Music of My Life (Blended by the Light)* has the merit of not telling the story of the artist in question—Bruce Springsteen—but rather that of one of his young fans, a young Pakistani student in Thatcherite England of the 1980s. Unfortunately, amid all the saccharine sentimentality, this unique approach ends up being its downfall. Our take.
In Cédric Kahn's new film, currently in theaters, Catherine Deneuve plays a grandmother who wants to celebrate her birthday surrounded by all her nearest and dearest. But that's without counting on the fact that family is hell, as someone else might have said.
