Here is the editorial of this new issue:

Creepage

We had for a moment imagined starting this editorial by discussing the Depardieu case. Talk again about #MeToo which shakes French industry, complaining about the flaws of the industry, dissociating the man from the artist, the bastard from the acrobat… And then our tired eyes landed on the golden cover of the magazine that you hold in your hands . And we suddenly remembered something essential. The Americans have a handy term for this: “escapism”. Ultimately, this is the function of cinema: to allow us to escape. Leave this planet for a few hours to discover new horizons. The Spice of Arrakis, the audacity of the bombers of Masters of the Airor the temporal paradoxes to which Léa Seydoux and Bertrand Bonello suit us.

This is the program of this issue, our proposals for lines of flight. Not sure that these films or series will prove much calmer than our daily lives, but at least they will transport us elsewhere. Pascal (the philosopher, eh, not the Big Brother nor the presenter) was talking about ” entertainment “these human activities “futile” which would allow us to escape our condition. We like him, but as another Pascal would say (the presenter this time, not the philosopher nor the Big Brother), we ” ask the question “ : when we see the news, is the stifling, even distressing reality really so “futile” to want, for an hour or two, to escape from our daily lives?
