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.
Initially scheduled for release in 2018, when it was thought to have been buried in the wake of accusations of sexual assault levelled at its director Woody Allen, A Rainy Day in New York arrives in cinemas. And, even though the affair reignited by the #MeToo movement dates back to 2013, for viewers the situation is tricky. Should we boycott the filmmaker and his work, following the example of certain protagonists who, according to rumor, donated their entire salary to an association that helps victims of sexual harassment? Or, on the contrary, rely on the presumption of innocence still enjoyed by the accused, since no real charges have yet been laid?

When you're in the habit of presenting your work at the Cannes Film Festival, it's hardly surprising that it ends up in the «films d'auteur» category. A label that fits Arnaud Desplechin's work rather well, even if it is somewhat reductive. With feature films such as Comment je me suis disputé... (ma vie sexuelle), Ester Kahn, Un conte de Noël and La Sentinelle, the director has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to explore different styles and registers. With Roubaix, une lumière, although faithful to certain themes, he tries his hand at the genre of poetic realism, not without a certain virtuosity.

An artistic documentary film for an artist. It makes sense. The immense fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh, who as a teenager dreamed of being Van Gogh, has the biography he deserves. Highly discursive, elaborate in its images, dizzying, sensual, sleep-inducing - I paid the price by falling asleep for part of the film, but that's another story - the film offers its viewer a pleasant escape. But somewhat disappointing.
Le neuvième film du réalisateur américain Quentin Tarantino – qui ferait presque penser à son dixième pas encore sorti et qui serait son dernier – s'impose en véritable chef-d'œuvre. Truffé d'allusions au cinéma, le très attendu Il était une fois... à Hollywood est une fable tarantinesque à souhait.
