This week's film releases and reissues offer a diverse selection that spans genres and themes, as noted in recent reviews. Notre salut, directed by Emmanuel Marre, has been named the favorite film of the week. The film is a political biopic inspired by the story of the director's great-grandfather, a zealous civil servant under Pétain during World War II. It features an ensemble cast including Swann Arlaud and Sandrine Blancke. Mémoire de fille, directed by Judith Godrèche, adapts Annie Ernaux's semi-autobiographical work and focuses on the experiences of a young girl at a summer camp. The film highlights themes of male brutality, shame, and the loss of her body, featuring Tess Barthélemy and Victor Bonnel. Digger, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, follows an oil tycoon responsible for an environmental disaster. The film is described as an over-the-top farce with a dystopian narrative, featuring Tom Cruise and John Goodman. It blends satire with a critique of corporate greed and environmental neglect. A Russian Winter, directed by Patric Chiha, is a melancholic documentary exploring the lives of Yuri and Margarita, who fled Russia. The film contrasts the title's promise of frost with summer light, focusing on themes of youth and displacement. It offers a reflective look at the emotional and psychological impact of leaving one's homeland. Kraken, directed by Mohamed Chabane and Théo Jourdain, is a French slasher film set in a city where young people enter an abandoned tower inhabited by a bloodthirsty killer. The film's political charge is noted to be defused in its final third, turning into a more conventional horror narrative. Le Chant des oliviers, directed by Alex Camilleri, is a promotional operation set in Malta, where a young woman searches for three plots left by her mother. The film is described as pleasant but somewhat superficial, focusing more on its visual appeal than on deep storytelling. L’Idée qu’on s’en faisait, directed by Sabrina Nouchi, is a film that adds men to the equation in an existential questioning among friends in their forties. While it starts with feminist impulses, these are noted to fade quickly in the narrative. Le Monde à l’endroit, directed by Sylvie Meyer, is a documentary with a hybrid staging that highlights the work of psychiatrist Muriel Salmona. The film blends real-life footage with theatrical elements to explore mental health and societal pressures. Reissues include Aprile by Nanni Moretti, which revisits themes of fatherhood and political background resonant today. Maison de poupée, an adaptation of Ibsen's play directed by Joseph Losey, explores the traps of marriage in 19th-century Norway, offering a timeless look at gender roles and societal constraints.
