- If Méliès had a son, it would be Michel Gondry. A brilliant jack-of-all-trades whose eccentric talent convinced the creative elite of international pop music to entrust him with his music videos (Björk, the Rolling Stones, Daft Punk, The White Stripes, Beck, etc.) before allowing him to chart his own course in Hollywood-without ever renouncing his rather crazy style-and to become one of the rare Oscar-winning French filmmakers (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). From hand to eye, Michel Gondry has been offering us for thirty years to seize what surrounds us to create and tell the world. A work that is a constant praise of wonder through craftsmanship: whether we approach his relationship to music and his beginnings as a videographer; the notion of magic inherent in his conception of the image; its roots in childhood and the world of dreams; the paradox of his Hollywood career; and the humanist ambition of its craftsmanship... which is also a political act. Do it yourself.
- A young boy living in a remote village in the Andes Mountains dreams of becoming shaman.
- December 29th 2020 will mark the centenary of the Tours Congress during which the French socialist party (SFIO) split and gave birth to the French Communist Party. The questions asked during the Congress have had a great place in the left-wing history throughout the XXth century : in order to reform society and allow social progress, do you need to be take part of the State system (and then to govern) or do you have to fight it (and make revolution)? Does progress better operate through reformist compromise or by revolutionary violence? Is the national framework legitimate or should it be majored by internationalism? Those questions were asked in the unstable context of the post First World War era, marked by the Russian Revolution and the Spartacist uprising in Germany. Very divergent answers were given by different groups clamming to be « the only true Socialists ». The irremediable split of socialism was acted and would never end. Today, thirty years after fall of the Soviet Union, the consequences of the Tours Congress are stil present in the recomposition of the French left, at a time when the dream of an ecological revolution has replaced the dream of a proletarian revolution.
- Es war eine spektakuläre Entdeckung für die Wissenschaft: Der Papyrus, der unlängst im Depot des Louvre wiedergefunden wurde, scheint eine antike Partitur zu sein. Die Doku begibt sich auf eine Reise zu den geschichtsträchtigen Stätten von Delphi und Pompeji, um längst verloren geglaubte Klangwelten hörbar zu machen.
- Let's give back to the plastic sandal the place it deserves in the humanity shoes Pantheon. If nobody has forgotten the nightmare it was wearing it every summer, who knows its true story? Who did wonder about the extraordinary destiny of this plastic bead invented by accident? Who remembers that after being created in Auvergne, it went through exile, privations and wars? Who knows that it embodied a society ideal and the promises of a better world? Who could imagine that it would be involved in one of the greatest pages of the 20th century History, until becoming the icon of an entire population? It is time to look back on the dark and glory times of the plastic sandal.
- Michel Houellebecq is a writer immersed in the society of spectacle, a sociologist often solicited to make sense of our times, a cryptic prophet who warns us of dark and ominous future. The portrait he paints of contemporary France isn't flattering. He lays bare the mediocrity of his fellow citizens; denouncing sexual liberalism as "absolute violence" ; decrying the ravages of an unfair market for love ; lashing out at the emptiness of a civilization built on television and supermarkets. It is the portrait of a disaster prophet, a national image who keeps mourning our lack of collective social project as well as the impossibility to love.
- In the context of the major exhibition dedicated to her in 2022 at the Musée d'Orsay, the film invites the general public to rediscover Rosa Bonheur, the most famous French painter of the 19th century.
