The film in theaters: The Boy and the Heron by Hayao Miyazaki
You probably know that Hayao Miyazaki’s new film came out this week, and you certainly don’t need us to encourage you to go see it. No ? Well, if you ever discover it here (you never know), know that the legendary director’s last film is not his last film per se (from a testamentary point of view, The wind picks up posed there) but a kind of dark and intriguing postscript to his career, which affirms that no one will be able Never replace it. Oh, we reassure you, it’s also pure Ghibli, a splendid animated odyssey which plunges us into a parallel world inhabited by monstrous herons, immobile specters and fascist parakeets. No, definitely, Miyazaki doesn’t need anyone, neither to replace him, nor to fill a movie theater.
What’s new at the cinema this week
In streaming: Thieves by Mélanie Laurent (on Netflix)
With her sixth feature film as a director, Mélanie Laurent ventures into the field of action comedy for the first time. It features two high-flying burglars (played by herself and Adèle Exarchopoulos) who decide to hang up after a final burglary with a third sidekick (Manon Bresch) and to free themselves from the control placed on them by a mafia boss. , played by Isabelle Adjani. A feminine heist film as delightful as it is effective which gives pride of place to its actresses, whose pleasure in playing together shines through the screen. A joyful anthem to sisterhood.
Mélanie Laurent: “Basically, Voleuses is a new version of Le Bal des Folles”
The film on TV: Halloween (2018) by David Gordon Green
It was on Halloween, in 2018. When the sequel/reboot by David Gordon Green was released in theaters, we did like everyone else: we knelt down in front of the surprising success of the film, a sharp and relentless survival game. Flawless. Two sadly missed sequels later, and a Exorcist: Devotion signed DGG just as failed, we still have this first/second/fourth Halloween so bloody, so brutal, so current and carrying so many promises – and available in streaming on France.TV, if we want to extend the time a little. Halloween. In fact, five years later, we realize that the main victim of the film was the future of the franchise itself. It happened on Halloween, in 2018…
Halloween can be (re)watched on France.TV
Series : Invincibleseason 2 (on Prime Video)
Who talks about superhero fatigue? When they are treated like that, we ask for more! Again and again… Two and a half years after an insane first season, finally, Invincible is back. The animated series from Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Deadderived from his own comics, is a stunning slap in the face, which plays with the codes of Superman and the masked Avengers, in an even more brutal way than The Boys (that is to say). It’s bloody, it’s impressive and damn well written. So even if you haven’t seen the first season, there’s still time to discover the immense madness Invincible.
The film on VOD: Elementary by Peter Sohn
The concept of the latest Pixar was perhaps not as stunning as those of Toy Story Or Monsters and co., but it still offers an original, colorful and touching film, which manages to talk about difference and integration with intelligence. Perfect for a November screening with the family, gathered on the sofa and under a blanket, dreaming of being too “on fire” than Flam on a daily basis. Or as capable of letting himself be carried away by emotion as Flack, your choice!
Elementary is notably visible on Première Max
