The film in theaters: Perfect Days by Wim Wenders
A Tokyo haiku by the ghost Wim Wenders. The filmmaker of Paris, Texas finds inspiration with this super-zen portrait of a maintenance worker who bricks hi-tech public toilets with magnificent coolness – that of the extraordinary actor Koji Yakusho. Between a declaration of love for “analogue” pleasures (sixties rock and film photos) and an ode to the pure present, a peaceful walk on the outskirts of the world, like a Paterson Japanese.

The film to be rehabilitated: Cartel by Ridley Scott
Cartel is a masterpiece: do we still need to repeat it? Even Ridley Scott says it: “I think it’s a damn good movie.”he told Rolling Stone. “So funny and cynical. We take it too seriously!”… Ten years later, it is never too late to inject this twisted and overpowering film noir, carried by the legendary writing of Cormac McCarthy, into the retinas.

If you don’t have young kids and you don’t care about Pokemon, you’re probably missing out. Detective Pikachu.

Funny and even a little touching: the buddy movie of your Saturday evening awaits you.

The classic : The Bruno ballad by Werner Herzog (1977)
A magnificent film about looseness where America seems as gray as an episode of Inspector Derrick. The turbulent Werner Herzog sends Bruno, a screaming street singer based in Berlin, to the plains of Wisconsin. “I thought the United States would be different, that you could get rich quick…” Jarmusch before its time. Legend has it that singer Ian Curtis of Joy Division watched the film just before fucking himself up. Have a good weekend everyone.
