Alice is a young woman fresh out of her philosophy studies. Coming from a brilliant background, she dreams of a successful career. However, when she moves to Lyon for a professional opportunity and is told that her job has been abolished, the opposite happens. She is then assigned to one of those perfectly useless functions: giving ideas to the mayor, who no longer possesses a single one after thirty years in politics. Only superficially useless: Alice will stimulate the mayor's mind. But beyond what's necessary for Lyon's political equilibrium.
Three short films are being presented this year by Pierrot Productions, an organization based at the University of Neuchâtel that aims to introduce students to the world of film. It is an ambitious production that impresses with its quality. The three shorts will be screened at a public showing tonight at the Aula des Jeunes-Rives, Espace Tilo-Frey 1, at 6:15 p.m.
Idealism, but also hard work. The documentary *Tout est possible*—whose English title is even more kitschy (*The Biggest Little Farm*)—tells the story of the years of hard work endured by an American couple who decided to leave everything behind to start a farm in harmony with nature. They succeed, after years of hard work. But will we be able to talk about it without falling into clichés?
Stallone has the power to convey such intense feelings. Because his acting is always true, his acting is always dignified, his acting always comes from the intimacy of his strong, sensitive self. Even in a turnip.
Todd Phillips« »The Joker" tells the story of Arthur Fleck's gradual fall into the abyss of madness. Joaquin Phoenix splendidly embodies the role of one of the most complex characters in the DC Comics universe.
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. A film somewhere between a schoolboy documentary and an exercise in style.
Céline Sciamma's latest film, which won an award at Cannes for its screenplay, depicts the encounter and burgeoning passion between two 19th-century women. The director of Tomboy sets her story ablaze with an impressive, impressionistic plot about a painter who has to conceal from her model the fact that she has been commissioned to paint her portrait on canvas. An apt reflection on love and memory through the prism of the image.
Passion is passed down from one generation to the next. So do injuries and mistakes. Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones) was a hero. He achieved great things in astronomy. Unfortunately, he and his crew never returned from their last expedition, the LIMA project. This prompted his son, Roy McBride (Brad Pitt), to follow in his father's footsteps. Astronaut in his turn, hero in his turn.
