le traître

Cinema Wednesdays - Special edition: Les coronarétrospectives du cinéma - Loris S. Musumeci

Cinema means traveling while sitting in your armchair, experiencing a life that's not your own. Cinema is dreaming. It's about dreaming other lives that we couldn't or wouldn't want to lead in reality. Gangster films, for example, offer a dream. Sometimes the viewer imagines himself as the big boss, sometimes as a policeman. In any case, he always imagines himself with a gun in his fist. Entering into an adventure where risking one's life is an everyday occurrence. But in gangster movies, it's more likely to be as a gangster. In other films and TV series, it's the policeman or investigator who has the upper hand.
