Thunderbolts*
A Marvel that combines action and depression
Imperfect, but endearing characters. A happy dosage of action and humor. A daring scenario. Thunderbolts* Brought us back at the time when a film from Marvel studios was a guarantee of good entertainment.

Corner
Haiti resists and proves that it exists
Art brings crises, tells us the director Joseph Hillel, not as a simple refuge, but as an act of political resistance. Corner is a vibrant manifesto on the power of culture in the face of adversity. In Haiti, creating is not a choice, it is a vital necessity. And these artists embody it perfectly.

Bordeaux prisoner
A friend who wants you good
Faced with the Imperial Isabelle Huppert, sometimes of a cold elegance, sometimes of a cabotin grace, the enigmatic and sensual Hafsia Herzi does not allow itself to be imposed with its interior game. This meeting alone is widely worth the detour.

Paul
Clean up
As in most Denis Côté documentaries (Carcasses, Bestiary, Your smooth skin), the borders are sometimes blurred between reality and fiction, arranged with the guy of views, this time without staging effects. On the side keeps a distance from his subject, undoubtedly to avoid voyeurism that some could accuse him, but by showing subtle benevolence.

Hello sadness
Prohibited games
Recalling Rohmer’s films by its apparent lightness, its marivaudes exchanged on the beach and its languid rhythm, Hello sadness is an aesthetic adaptation which evacuates certain complexities of the novel. On the other hand, there is intact the carelessness so dear to Sagan.
