More than a documentary about cinema, this film asks the following question : how did we go from "Easy Rider" to Donald Trump ? Traveling through the United States, the filmmaker meets everyday people and some famous directors (Michael Mann, Tobe Hooper, Bob Rafelson, Peter Hyams...). With the use of beautiful photography, clever editing and great music, Jean-Baptiste Thoret digs deep in the heritage of the sixties and seventies, and gradually comes to the conclusion that it might not have been such a "golden era". "We blew it" is a road-movie that thinks, asks questions, and tries to define what is left of an era when cinema was important to people, and when it gave them answers to what they were living. A must-see for those in love with American cinema, and the USA in general.

If you have already strolled along the beautiful paths of the Parisian Bois de Vincennes, you may have missed it all. French documentary director Claire Simon digs deep into the dark woods to meet those who have turned their backs on life as we know it, and the others. Prostitutes, castaways, refugees from dictatorial governments, or a simple young mother, this films shows us people and explores their link to this natural setting, just a few yards away from the noise of the big city. Why would you want to live in a forest in sometimes dire conditions ? Freedom ? Necessity ? Whether it is to party, to cycle, to run, to hunt, to make love, each one has a good reason to come here. This beautiful and emotional film is a portrait of humanity as a whole. It is delicate and rich. Don't miss it.

This short film about the end of the world by Nicolas Saada, known for the 2009 "Espion(s)" spy thriller, is beautifully shot, well acted, and very intriguing. It was done for a special program hosted by the cable TV channel Ciné + and shown in the MK2 theaters in Paris. We follow Louise (Bénérice Béjo) who goes to work at the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand after leaving her son at school. On her way, a strange man gives her some sort of warning. Then, the sirens go off and all computers and cell-phones stop working. Everybody has to evacuate the building in a hurry. Special appearance by renowned director Frederick Wiseman adds a special touch of mystery. It all ends too soon and that is the only thing wrong about this film. What has actually happened ? Who was this strange man ? We can only guess. Let's hope Nicolas Saada will expand this in a feature film. This story rightfully deserves a longer treatment.
