HAMNET
HAMNET Directed by Chloé Zhao “Carrying Absence” By Lyssandra DL “Some pains never heal. You simply learn to accept them.” The Crack Hamnet falls ill one summer morning. The fever rises. His body burns. Agnes lays her hands on his forehead, searches through plants, through the gestures of the old ways, through everything she knows about life and death. Nothing works. The eleven-year-old boy slips away—slowly, inexorably. He leaves behind a void that will never close. The film

WUTHERING HEIGHTS
WUTHERING HEIGHTS Emerald Fennell and Passion as an Abyss By Serge Leterrier “What if literature’s greatest love story was, in truth, a tale of mutual destruction?” On February 13, 2026 , Emerald Fennell takes hold of Emily Brontë’s monument with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi —a collision poised to reawaken one of English literature’s most ravaging myths. But beyond the cinematic event, something deeper is at stake: a meditation on passion as a force that does not elevate—

BRIGITTE BARDOT
BRIGITTE BARDOT The Transmutation of the Sacred Feminine By Serge Leterrier From consumed idol to fierce guardian: reading a spiritual metamorphosis This Sunday, December 28, 2025, a house facing the Mediterranean witnessed the completion of one of the century's most radical metamorphoses. Brigitte Bardot died at 91, facing that sea which was always far more than a backdrop: a mirror, a refuge, a matrix of dissolution and rebirth. La Madrague, this name turned legend, was n

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH
AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH A film by James Cameron The Burn of the Real, the Caress of the Sacred By Serge Leterrier A symbolic and initiatory reading of the third Avatar “Fire does not always destroy: sometimes it reveals what was already burning within us.” Avatar: Fire and Ash comes forward like an incandescent mirror held up to our era—its ruins, its rebirths. James Cameron has nothing left to prove in spectacle; he no longer needs to persuade us that Pandora can expand to the

Furcy, Born Free
Furcy, Born Free Dignity on the Edge of the Abyss By Anthony Xiradakis “The ink of masters draws chains; the ink of resisters engraves History.” Law can lie. Legal systems devised by human beings sometimes carry within them a particular kind of violence, one that turns humanity into merchandise, flesh into property, existence into a commercial transaction. The cinema of Abou Ndiaye confronts this fundamental contradiction: how can one remain oneself when the legal system decr

MAGELLAN
MAGELLAN Dawn of the World By Imanos Santos Epic ~ Visceral ~ Visionary The ocean howls its verdict. The sails snap against the mast while Fernando de Magalhães stares at the horizon with the stubborn resolve of men who refuse reason. Cinema regains here its primary vocation: to show the impossible, to etch onto the screen the trembling lines of human courage confronting the cosmic indifference of the elements.

QHER WILL BE DONE
QHER WILL BE DONE A Film by Julia Kowalski By Serge Leterrier Peasant Witchcraft: Kowalski's Radical Gambit From the opening frames of Her Will Be Done , this familiar blend of mud and peasant Catholicism seemed destined to join the crowded ranks of French rural chronicles sprinkled with genre elements. Here's where the misunderstanding begins. The Franco-Polish director plays with our expectations to better subvert them, transforming what could have been another portrait of

Ella McCay
Ella McCay A movie by James L. Brooks Balancing, Sincere, Human By Imanos Santos Some films allow themselves to be confined within formulas. Others resist, overflow, demand to be approached through multiple paths. Ella McCay belongs to this second category. To grasp the substance of this work where James L. Brooks rediscovers all his power after years of absence, three words emerge. Three qualities that, together, sketch the portrait of a rare cinema: one that dares to fil

ECHOES OF THE PAST
ECHOES OF THE PAST The Ontology of Repetition A film by Mascha Schilinski By Anthony Xiradakis "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." - Karl Marx Time is not a line. This truth, long established by contemporary physics, cinema still struggles to translate into images. Mascha Schilinski takes up this challenge in her second feature film with an ambition bordering on excess. Four young girls in four different eras—Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Lenka—go throug

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER Paul Thomas Anderson's Mastered Chaos By Imanos Santos Unsteady. Furious. Chaplinesque. The bathrobe flutters in the California wind. Bob Ferguson is no hero. He reeks of alcohol, his poorly trimmed beard tells the story of years of neglect, and his paranoid gaze betrays a man who abandoned his ideals somewhere between the Mexican border and a broken-down couch. Yet he's the one Paul Thomas Anderson chose to carry his most ambitious, most expensive, m

BARDOT
BARDOT Film by Alain Berliner and Elora Thévenet When the image becomes memory By Serge Leterrier “I was born to burn, to exist until the last spark.” These words open Bardot like an invocation to life in fusion. The film advances without filter or caution, traversed by the presence of a woman who became both a force of attraction and rupture. It unfolds the legend of a being who transfigured fame into an initiatory experience—whose every breath made an entire era’s certaint
