Thirty-six years after her debut as an actress, Sandrine Kiberlain is behind the camera for the first time. She took her time to write and direct a young girl who is well, a film linked to her personal history, her origins, and carried by Rebecca Marder's youth and grace.

Paris Summer 1942, Irene prepares the entrance competition for the Conservatoire d'art dramatique, overflowing with life and energy, living her passion for theatre without worrying about the threat that is rising.

Irene is Jewish. His father, André Marcon, does not want to believe that Pétain 's France will do what we know today, while his grandmother is less naive when Vichy's regime imposes the yellow star. With delicacy, Sandrine Kiberlain filmed this period with an almost timeless dimension, one does not see a German uniform, the historical references are very limited, only this carelessness, this thirst for life of the girl, before the disaster.

Farewell to Paris of Edouard Baer

For his fourth film as director, Edouard Baer makes an uncompromising declaration of love to actors who are his elders: Gérard Depardieu, Pierre Arditi, the late Jean-François Stevenin, Bernard Le coq, Bernard Murat, Jackie Berroyer, and the youngest, François Damiens and Benoit Poelvoorde.

This band of males with consistent egos meet for a ritual, an annual lunch in a Parisian institution restaurant, during which the most recent is admitted to this aging cenacle.

It is a theatre, with its palette of characters, its tirades and, above all, the feeling that these men who overplay their past glory, suffer not to recognize their weaknesses. Farewell Paris is touching, sometimes disturbing, but Edouard Baer swears, he is not nostalgic.

Our souls as children of Mike Mills

In 2017, we loved the portrait of women from 20th Century Women. Mike Mills comes back with our souls of children, black and white film in square format.

Joaquin Phoenix is a radio journalist who questions young people about their vision of the world, when his sister calls for help to take care of his nephew, whom he barely knows. Between the hyperactive 9-year-old, whose bipolar father is interned, and this lonely uncle, the relationship is a tricky learning experience.

From California to New York, the duo is taming, childhood is treated with its bright and shady part. Despite some heaviness, a beautiful film about the transmission.
