Movie quiz: 8 movies that are not easy to recognize!

In theaters this Wednesday is Les Barbares, directed by Julie Delpy, who is also casting her own feature alongside Laurent Lafitte, Ziad Bakr, Indian Hair, and Sandrine Kiberlain, an actress we’re dedicated to. Our quiz of the day.

The main location of the film is Paypont, a small quiet town in Brittany where harmony reigns. Among the inhabitants are Joel – a teacher who gives lessons, Anne – the owner of a mini-market for aperitifs, Hervé – an Alsatian plumber more Breton than Bretons, or John – a village guard who is a fan of … John.

As a sign of great solidarity, they enthusiastically agreed to accept Ukrainian refugees. Except that the arriving refugees are not Ukrainians, but Syrians! And some, in this charming little Breton village, don’t look too kindly on the arrival of their new neighbors. So who are the barbarians in the end?

Before we dig into the eight questions and eight movies in this quiz, here are a few secrets from the set of Julie Delph’s Les Barbares, in theaters this Wednesday.

Prepare yourself

With Les Barbares, Julie Delpy wanted to talk about how refugees are received in Europe, but without judgement. The filmmaker relied on programs and documentaries on the subject, but also interviewed many refugees in several European countries.

A painful era

If Skylab takes place before May 1981, a period full of hope according to Julie Delp, the time frame of Barbarians is placed in the more uncertain present: “The current climate is not the most peaceful. My son is 15 years old and is currently studying dictatorship in college. He told me, mom, it’s a circle that comes back every 80 years, it’s catastrophic. Besides, everything is getting worse today, from military power to overpopulation or global warming, there are so many things that will make things worse.“

See you on September 18th at the cinema to discover Les Barbares.
