Oscar, a ten-year-old boy, is staying at a children’s hospital. Neither the doctors nor his parents dare to tell him the truth about his illness. Only Rose, a woman with a grumpy attitude, who comes to deliver pizzas, communicates with him in a straightforward way. To distract him, Rose suggests that Oscar play a game: From now on, he should behave as though each day were the equivalent of ten years. She thus offers him an entire life in a few days. So that he’ll open up even more, she suggests that he should also write to God. In his letters, Oscar talks about his suffering, worries, joys, falling in love for the first time, time passing by… A singular friendship develops between Oscar and Rose. Both have no idea how this closeness will affect their future lives.

Discovering filmmakers, accompanying films that correspond to his idea of cinema, open and free and close up to life – that’s his reason for living. His vocation. Grégoire finds total fulfillment in his work, to which he dedicates almost all his time and energy.

Grégoire’s confident bearing and charm have won him admirers everywhere. He seems invincible. And yet, his prestigious production company, Moon Films, is unstable.

When he stumbles upon an abandoned construction site, small-time crook Philippe Miller (François Cluzet, One for the Road, Tell No One, Too Beautiful For You) sees an opportunity to make some money. Claiming to be in charge of reviving the site to build a highway, he convinces everyone of his good will, including the mayor Stéphane (Emmanuelle Devos, A Christmas Tale, Read My Lips, Kings and Queen). But Miller quickly loses control of his own scheme, as this illegal highway gives hope to an entire region plagued with unemployment, giving him a sense of responsibility he had never felt before.

Paris, 1817, within the Académie Royale de Médecine. “I’ve never seen a human head that so closely resembles a monkey’s.” Anatomist Georges Cuvier is categorical when looking at the cast made of Saartjie Baartman’s body. A panel of distinguished colleagues applauds the demonstration. Seven years earlier, Saartjie left South Africa with her master Caezar and was exhibited to the London public in carnival freakshows. A free and fettered woman, she was the icon of the lower depths, the “Hottentot Venus” promised the mirage of a glittering rise in the world…

1. Mesrine: L’Ennemi public no 1

It’s the story of one of those improbable encounters that can change the course of one’s life: the encounter, in a small public garden, between Germain, fifty and barely literate, and Marguerite, a little old lady passionate about reading. Forty years and 220 pounds separate them. One day, purely by chance, Germain sits down beside Marguerite. She’ll go on to read aloud extracts from novels and thereby allow him to discover the magic of books, from which Germain imagined he was excluded for life. Until then, his family circle and drinking buddies took him for an idiot; stupidity will now change places! But Marguerite is losing her sight. For the love of this charming, mischievous and caring grandmother, Germain will teach himself and show her that he’s capable of reading aloud to her when she is no longer able to do so herself.

Marion Cotillard and François Cluzet head a terrific cast in this acerbic group portrait of the Parisian bourgeoisie on holiday, from Tell No One director Guillaume Canet.
Actor Guillaume Canet proved his directing chops and commercial nous with the massively successful thriller Tell No One. There are elements of thriller tension in Little White Lies – not to mention a dazzlingly confident long-take opening shot – but this is an altogether different film, an ensemble drama about a group of long-term friends who get together for a holiday and end up confronting their personal truths and traumas. While Ludo (Jean Dujardin), the biggest bon vivant in the crowd, faces a crisis of his own, the friends head off for their annual holiday at the seaside house of Max (François Cluzet), a successful but hyper-stressed restauranteur. Inevitably, the friends soon come to terms with their own secrets, anxieties and desires, with Max in particular heading for meltdown after being rattled by an intimate confession from his closest friend (Benoît Magimel). Leisurely, classily made and showcasing some fine acting – especially from Cluzet and Marion Cotillard, in a these-days rare French role – Little White Lies is an elegant, entertaining and sometimes engagingly brash variation on the usually more muted genre of the bourgeois lifestyle drama.

When the film begins, Orso has barely turned 15. With his jutting cheekbones and merman’s muscles, there is something compelling tinged with violence about him, that look of darkness or pride in his face. A pickpocket on the night train that continues on to Italy, he dreams of getting a gun so that he can grow up like an outlaw. Marie is 14. She’s the little queen of the Bay, skipping back and forth between the teenage riffraff and the young US Navy boys on shore leave. With her little birdlike body reaching toward the promise of a beautiful summer, Marie feels the strength of love inside her. Orso and Marie are loners, wild and proud, both dreaming of a world that is bigger than them. They pass by, ignore, defy, and finally love each other in the dizziness of Angels Bay.

Paris, 1913. Coco Chanel is in love with the young and wealthy Boy Chapel, but she is above all dedicated to her work. Igor Stravinsky rehearses The Rites of Spring. The composition’s revolutionary dissonance bring to mind, in many respects, the clothing designer’s radical work.
Coco goes to the premiere of the The Rite of Spring, dressed in a dazzling white gown, the total opposite of the dreary dresses worn by the Parisian bourgeoisie. Too modern and anti-conformist, the music and the ballet are booed by a crowd on the edge of rioting. Igor is inconsolable.
Seven years later, Coco, despite her success, is devastated by Boy’s death, caused by a car accident. Igor, following the Russian Revolution, is now a penniless refugee in Paris. Sergei Diaghilev, the Ballets Russes’ impresario, organizes an encounter between the pair. They are fascinated by each other. Coco offers to put Igor up in her new villa in Garches. The composer settles in at the beginning of summer, accompanied by his wife Catherine, who has tuberculosis, their four children and a menagerie of birds.
