We're not fooled by the costumes or the taste for a good word. Xavier Giannoli's adaptation of «Lost Illusions» shines with its grand spectacle allure and dazzling cast. It's a real coup at a time when classic adaptations are in short supply. A good way to dispel preconceived notions about the genre.

Freshly crowned with the «Masque et la Plume» listeners« prize and nominated in almost every category at the 46th César 2021 ceremony, »Les choses qu'on dit, les choses qu'on fait" (Things we say, things we do), written and directed by Emmanuel Mouret, is no slouch in the face of the coronavirus crisis. A gentle and humble film, it brings a breath of fresh air to an era when we could still desire and love without a mask.
