«A rainy day in New York», a pleasant little summer drizzle

written by Kelly Lambiel

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?

But somewhat disappointing.

Once upon a time... Quentin Tarantino

By Jonas Follonier · August 21, 2019
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.

«Midsommar, a horror festival

Avec «Midsommar», le réalisateur Ari Aster réinvente les codes du genre en plaçant son film d'horreur sous le soleil suédois de la mi-été. Couleurs, drogue et chants nordiques sont au rendez-vous pour cette entrée dans une secte suédoise.
