With year-end commitments, it’s time to take note! For the editorial staff of AlloCiné, it is time to take a step back from a rich film year marked by the triumph of the French at the French box office. For the first time since 2014, where 4 films made the annual top 5. Therefore, the year 2024 is already an exceptional year, which should be celebrated with respect. It is in the context of this euphoria that AlloCiné will decide to innovate and offer Internet users the project “Flashback”, which aims to modestly remove the traditional annual Top. A unique experience, the editorial team asked to eagerly share some of the funniest and decidedly entertaining 2024 movies it has highlighted.
Spotted by our journalists from a presentation at the Cannes Film Festival (Uncertain Regard section), The Story of Souleymane did not leave indifferent the Croisette jury, who awarded it the Jury Prize and singled out the excellent Abu Sangare for his role as Boris Lozhkin. the movie. With an audience rating of 4.2 out of 5 and a press rating of 4.1 out of 5, the film was also a public success, recording over half a million admissions in France. Powerful and authentic, The Story of Souleymane logically takes the top spot in Top Editor 2024.
Because this documentary was a blast for those who tried the adventure in theaters, A Family took the 2nd place in the ranking. With the healthy fury of Christine Angotti, who brings her prose and scars to the screen here, the film gives up nothing, gives up nothing. Compromise is not an option. The audience therefore sympathizes with the writer/director who sets out to finally eliminate the ghosts of his past through violence and complicit silence.
If The Snow Circle is a movie distributed via streaming (in this case, Netflix), it has all the makings of a great motion picture. There is nothing surprising when we find the name of Juan Antonio Bayona in the credits. Thrill seekers already know his production efficiency, his taste for complex subjects. His virtuosity once again sets this drama, which is adapted from a true story, apart, rewarding the audience with some shocking scenes that thankfully manage to never succumb to levity and voyeurism.
First of all, don’t talk too much about The Heir for fear of saying too much and ruining what makes this movie one of the slapstick movies of the year. We can still remind you that this is Xavier Legrand’s (before Guardi director, big winner of the 2019 César) and Marc-André Grondin offers his most intense role in ages. In the 4th Top Editor 2024, Le Successeur easily won the Palm for Irony of the Year.
Anora, Palme d’Or 2024, takes the 5th place in the top. Sensitive to his communicative energy and his fluid and inspired productions, the editorial team is thrilled to be recognized by Sean Baker, a filmmaker who explores his indie vein and his passion from film to film. But what would Anora be without Mikey Madison’s hypnotic presence? The 25-year-old young actress is everywhere and constantly fascinates me.
And you, have you imagined your best movie of 2024?
