Jaws, a Monstrous Success

Jaws, a Monstrous Success 2024

6.30

In the summer of 1975, the young director Steven Spielberg set new standards for cinema worldwide with an oversized shark bite, a plastic shark fin and an unmistakable two-note main theme composed by John Williams. With the horror from the deep, a man-eating, gigantic great white shark, the film of the same name became a similarly traumatic reference as Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho": it triggered lasting primal fears across generations. On the beaches of the world, there was clearly a "before" and an "after". Steven Spielberg, who was only 28 at the time, not only set new standards for the thriller genre, but also hid his biting criticism of US capitalism in the 1970s behind it.

This phenomenon, far from being marginal, affects victims with varied profiles...

Retour vers le futur : Voyage dans le temps, American Dream & rock'n'roll

Retour vers le futur : Voyage dans le temps, American Dream & rock'n'roll 2022

8.50

The script of "Back to the Future" was one of the most refused of Hollywood: more than forty times. No producer believed in this project of Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Steven Spielberg imposed the film on Universal Studios, with Gale signing the script and Zemeckis directing. The director of "Jaws" will not regret it. In 1985, "Back to the Future" pulverized the box office and became a worldwide success, reinforced by two sequels in 1989 and 1990. Decade after decade, the popularity of this trilogy does not falter. Why this longevity while so many blockbusters sink into oblivion?fre

De

De "Matrix" à "Sense8", la révolution Wachowski 2024

7.00

From "Bound" to the queer series "Work in Progress", an exploration and deciphering of the artistic work and revolutionary career of Lana and Lilly Wachowski. "Matrix" is the soil in which all the seeds of the filmmakers' struggle were sown. Feminism, anti-capitalism, trans-identity and racial justice are encoded in trench-coat action scenes and symbol-laden metaphors. The two sisters, as uncompromising in their societal battles as they are in their experimental aesthetics, are a happy Hollywood anomaly, a real crack in the matrix it's time to rediscover.

Samedi soir

Samedi soir 2023

5.50

Samedi soir (Saturday night) is an intimate, carnal and reflective dive into contemporary youth. For one night, we follow four groups of young adults of different sociology, in the four corners of the country. With their differences, these complementary groups draw the contours of French youth. In this film, we try to listen to their desires and their dreams, without losing the sincerity and the energy of their evenings. A village party, a feminist collage, the last train station, a Parisian nightclub... These young people cross and overlap, dialogue and answer each other. Each group deals with a social issue and embodies a contemporary challenge. This film is also a collective psychoanalysis, where these young people talk about their doubts, their friendships and their loves, their studies, their commitments or their work. Because Saturday night is above all a time for sharing and letting go.
