The best movie of the week is “Absolute Treatment”

3 best films according to the press:

1 draw: Yes! – 3.7/5 **

“A very successful tribute to the most eccentric person of the 20th century. Edward Baer and Jonathan Cohen die laughing.” Pascal Vergereau (West France)

“An absolute delight of absurd poetry and pure comedy that turns us upside down.” By Isabelle Magnier (Télé 7 Jours)

1 draw: The beast – 3.7/5

“The film manipulates its emotions with a certain distance, a gap that lies somewhere between Cronenberg and Lynch, but which belongs only to Bonello. A gap that has become a dizzying realm of beauty. Where desire lasts forever.” by Arnaud Halle (Les Inrockuptibles)

“Bertrand Bonello demonstrates his mastery of people and their place in the world at a time when technologies like artificial intelligence want to replace them.” Cedric Coppola (Southwest)

1 draw: Kingdom of Kensuke – 3.7/5

A brilliant adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s bestselling children’s book, this groundbreaking story about the adventures of a former Japanese soldier and a child shipwrecked on a desert island challenges our relationship with nature. By Stephen Dreyfus (La Croix)

“This British animated gem focuses on a brilliant visual world and an exciting story.” By Stéphane Belpesch (Le Journal du Dimanche)

1 draw: Elaha – 3.7/5

“A well-done tutorial.” By Sandra Onana (Liberation)

“The balanced structure of the script eliminates easy twists and the authenticity of the psychology of the characters allows us to avoid caricature.” By Ethni O’Neill (positive)

1: Kensuke’s Kingdom – 4.4/5

“Great cartoon, very beautiful and moving. To watch in cinemas and with family, even with little ones!” Aston L

“An excellent animated film that deserves to be seen on the big screen. The drawings are brilliant and the themes covered are essential. A story full of humanity and emotion! Very touching :)” Charlotte Podesta

2nd: Green Border – 3.7/5

“The film presents itself as an essential cinematic experience, a grueling yet moving, vital immersion. It is one of the most powerful films to see at the beginning of the year.” by Justfil

“Heavy, overwhelming, realistic, trying and devastating! Just a shame to live in the EU. The numbers in the credits remind us that this film is definitely not fiction. A must see for real awareness?” By Anne CC

3rd: Daaaaal! – 3.5/5

“Drunken is a word, look at the picture, the movie is also a movie, everything is sophisticated, in front of the camera, the loops take you to the beginning of the movie, the rehearsals are pure joy, the movie really surprised me, what an artist he is. Hurry, you get what you pay for and your imagination.” by Islander29

“Masterpiece! Nugget of the year!” By Zo_rhm
