The best movie of the week is “Funny”, “Great Mastery”

3 best films according to the press:

1st draw: go to bed – 3.9/5

“The metaphorical film ‘Sleep’ perfectly combines theoretical fear with the concrete fear of what we believe and what is right in front of us, without any desire – and that’s a good thing – to take sides. Brilliant first feature shots.” Emmanuel Spadasenta (filmmaker)

“The film, which benefits from the lead actors and star performances, is compelling from beginning to end. It keeps its audience in suspense, as close as possible to the emotions of the characters, while offering variety. Readings that really make sense.” By Quelou Parente (L’Ecran Fantastique)

1st draw: Goodbye Tiberias – 3.9/5

“Relentlessly, Lina interrogates Hyam, explores his anger, reminisces about his temperament (through poems written by the actor from the age of 14), and manages to convey the notion of ‘possibility’ to the audience with great wit. By Sophie Grassin (L’Obs)

“This exciting story, which resonates very strongly with current events, is woven with great delicacy thanks to the photographs, but also reads poems or scenes updated by Hiam Abbas himself.” By Catherine Ballet (Le Parisien)

3rd: Walk up – 3.7/5

“On the road to sanctity, Hong Sang-soo tightens the plot of his new film in a unique setting, a building where he observes the lives of the characters on each floor in order to fulfill their desires rather than their anxieties.” By Chloe Cavillier (Critikat.com)

“Using the usual qualities of his cinema, especially in this way sublime, intense and profoundly banal, benign and trivial in the middle, Hong Sang-soo signs a particularly populated film whose theme. It is even, fundamentally, to live for oneself. by Bruno DeRuisseau (Les Inrockuptibles)

3 best movies according to viewers:

1: Life – 4.2/5

“Dazzling and poignant! A very successful interpretation. The emotions are palpable without falling into pathos. A subject that sadly remains relevant and echoes in our heads.” By Beatrice D

“Anthony Hopkins gives a wonderful performance in this role, adding to the whole, captivating us with subtlety. The film is a fascinating mix of inspiring thoughts, hope and sadness that provides the audience with a rich emotional experience.” Tang by Faucon

2nd: throughout the season – 4/5

“Three extraordinary actresses, Deneuve, the likes of which few see. I laughed and cried, thank you!” by Jesse

“A fair and engaging film honoring women. Andrea Riseborough gives a great performance!” Author Felix L

3rd: Bye Bye Tiberias – 3.8/5

“Magnificent and powerful.” By Mayte Simoncini

The story elegantly weaves between old family films, wonderful archival documents dating back to 1948, and the present-day mother-daughter dialogue, which weaves together a family puzzle in the memories of the first and the discovery of old photographs. Traverse 1
