The film in theaters: Emmanuelle by Audrey Diwan
Audrey Diwan takes on the character created by Emmanuelle Arsan, who became cult with the success of Just Jaeckin's film in the 70's. A hell of a challenge that the filmmaker takes on by choosing to tell the story of a woman in search of sexual pleasure which eludes her. Hand in hand with her interpreter Noémie Merlant – once again impressive – she goes beyond her biases and always remains as close as possible to this woman reclaiming her body. A gesture that combines audacity and panache.
What's new at the cinema this week
The series: Miskina season 2
The series created and played by Melha Bedia is back on Prime Video for a new burst of six even funnier and touching episodes. Miskina sketches with great humor and intelligence the tribulations of a young woman of North African origin, her ass between two chairs and her heart between two guys (including the always righteous Xavier Lacaille, also co-author). Finely written and carefully produced, this drama brings a real breath of fresh air to the PAF, and we want more!

The exit: Interstellar by Christopher Nolan
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of the director's biggest hitsOppenheimerWarner Bros. pulled out all the stops, favoring 70mm and screens equipped with IMAX. The eco-kubric-family sci-fi film with Matthew McConaughey returns to more than 200 theaters in France. At the time, part of the Première editorial staff remained unmoved by this great melodrama staged in spectacular fashion. This weekend, will we finally cry in front of Interstellar ?
The movie on TV: Virgin Suicides by Sofia Coppola
It was with this adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides' novel that Sofia Coppola made her feature film debut in 2000, majestically setting the tone for what has never ceased to inspire her since: the unfathomable mysteries of adolescence. And his way of imbuing with gentleness the tragedy that unfolded there – the collective suicide of five sisters from an ultra-strict family in a rich suburb of Detroit – would lastingly impose his style, often copied but never equaled since.
Watch Virgin Suicides Friday at 9:05 p.m. on France 5 then streaming on France.TV
The film in streaming: The Truth by Hirokazu Kore-eda
We learned this week that Catherine Deneuve would chair the 50th César ceremony. That's good, the French actress with such an eclectic career is in replay until the beginning of October in a “Korean” film as desired: The Truth (2019), in which she plays, aptly, of course, a movie star. Also with Juliette Binoche, Ludivine Sagnier and Ethan Hawke, all equally happy to play between reality and fiction for the director ofA family affair.

The classic: Josey Wales outlaw by Clint Eastwood
It may not be the most famous of Clint Eastwood's films, but it's one of the best. His fifth as director, the one where he asserts his style and his vision – literally, since he fired Philip Kaufman after a few days of filming to sit in his place in the director's chair. We are in 1976, between two episodes of Inspector HarryAnd Josey Wales follows the vengeful crusade of a Missouri farmer whose family was massacred by northern raiders during the Civil War. But the western full of cold anger will soon turn into a kaleidoscopic fresco, when the outlaw Josey Wales rallies to him others left behind from the nascent American nation… Between violence ” ruthless » and flâneur humanism, a masterpiece that captures the essence of Clint – cowboy, actor, filmmaker and all-around star.
Watch Josey Wales Outlaw Sunday at 9 p.m. on Arte and streaming on Arte.TV

Documentaries: Do it Yourself And In Bed With Michel Gondry
“Excuse me, but, uh… how many years are you going to take to make your film?“François Nemeta has been following Michel Gondry since Oui-Oui (group founded in 1983), and signs – finally! – two intimate and original docuses, longer than the channel's usual portraits, which decipher the person as much as his staging. For the cinema, of course, but also his clips with crazy concepts With disconcerting frankness, Gondry quietly explaining to Jack White that he deliberately chose to illustrate one of the Whites' “boring” songs. Stripes (The Hardest Button to Button and its drums that cross London in stop motion) or Kate Winslet hilariously admitting that she loved the experience Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mindbut that she would not like “live in Michael's head!“
