The best movie of the week is “Great Moment of Cinema”

3 best films according to the press:

1: Dead leaves – 4.1/5

“In the face of the world’s anger, the cafe, the movie theater becomes an almost miraculous refuge for these two loners. Emotions are etched in the brightness of the gaze, in the outline of the smile. Kaurismäki won the Jury Prize at Cannes. He deserved the Palme de Modem.” Julien Rousset (South West)

“Kaurismak’s films, a great admirer of the silent film, able to recycle the same motifs every time to get to the essence, with this extreme poetry that allows him to reach the luminous purity of the sonata.” By Sophie Grassin (L’Obs)

2nd: Golden butterfly tree – 4/5

“The road movie, in search of lasting memories, delicately sinks into dreams. The boundaries between reality and wonder become more and more porous, and it is both sweet and surprising. The production combines the rhythm of the life of the Holy Mountain itself.” by Arnaud Halle (Les Inrockuptibles)

“A contemplative film, slow but hauntingly beautiful.” By Adrienne Gombo (Les Echos)

3rd: deserts – 3.5/5

“Charming cinematic emo.” By Olivier Uberthal (Le Point)

“Here is a cruel and sensitive farce, inventive and prolific, that will make Western audiences think about their own economic situation.” By Laurent Cambon (aVoir-aLire.com)

3 best movies according to viewers:

1: Dead Leaves – 3.7/5

“Beautiful. Funny. Smart.” By Vanil Artiad

“Although the world presented can seem quite dark and depressing, Aki Kaurismaki treats his characters with great tenderness and manages to regularly fill in a few touches of humor that bring a certain form of lightness.” through the window into the room

2nd: Last dance! – 3.5/5

“I really didn’t know what to expect and I was very pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed this movie. The dance scenes are amazing.” by Sami

“I absolutely loved this movie! A love movie, a tribute to creativity, to the art that saves us when things go wrong, family, youth and old age. I laughed, I cried. And I laughed again when I thought about it. A must see!” by Renoir

3rd: Პtara – 3.3/5

“Great movie, very light, for a topic that is not there. 2 main actors are very good.” By Eric Ozan

“I found this film very moving, Fabrice Luchin is flawless, convincing, passionate about life and a great discovery as a young Belgian actor.” by C67
