The film in theaters: Priscilla by Sofia Coppola

By telling the love story between Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu – which began when the latter was only 14 and he was 24 – Sofia Coppola, through her delicacy and her restraint, signs both the perfect reverse shot of flamboyant Elvis by Baz Luhrmann and a great film on the influence. While revealing, in the title role, the incredible talent of Cailee Spaeny, awarded at the Venice Film Festival.

What’s new at the cinema this week

The film in streaming: The Snow Circle by Juan Antonio Bayona

After a passage through the Yankee blockbuster (Jurassic World and the first two episodes of the series The Rings of Power), Bayona returns to what he does best: survival in hostile terrain where death dances with the sacred and the human. By taking up the story of the survivors of Flight 571 in 1972, lost in the Andes for more than three months, he created an incredibly spectacular fresco and continues to establish himself as one of Steven Spielberg’s most original heirs. Dazzling.

The film on VOD: Toni with family by Nathan Ambrosioni

Camille Cottin as an everyday super-mom with five children. All coexist for the sake of script and dramatic fairness. Behind the lens, another “toddler”: Nathan Ambrosioni, 24 years old, our national Xavier Dolan. Beyond these “temporal” considerations, this dramatic comedy remains a formidable portrait of a woman. Tony garnered 300,000 admissions upon its release last September.

Watch Toni with the family on VOD on Première Max

The film on TV: Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 by James Gunn

At the heart of a very dark year for superhero films, the touching conclusion of the Guardians trilogy, centered on the story of Rocket Racoon, was the MCU’s ray of sunshine. No doubt because it is the work of an author who was allowed to create in peace. Too bad for Marvel, he now works for its competitor DC.

look Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Friday at 9:10 p.m. on Canal Plus (and streaming on MyCanal)

The classic : Picnic at Hanging Rock by Peter Weir (1975)

Just before his Last wave, the Australian Peter Weir stood out with this disturbing film around the disappearance of young flower girls during an excursion near an imposing rock in the heart of the bush. The action takes place in 1900, the young ladies from a very chic private college are filmed like Botticelli’s angels, evanescent and sensual. What really happened on this rock? Weir broadcasts a muted fantasy and plunges us into a languid trance contaminated by an insolent mystery.

Watch Picnic at Hanging Rock streaming on Arte.tv (until January 15)

The documentary: Uncle Yanco by Agnès Varda (on MK2 Curiosity)

Varda’s Californian period is one of the richest and most intriguing of her career. Before Black Panthers (1968), she filmed this short film there about her father’s cousin, the Greek painter Jean Varda, nicknamed Uncle Yanco by the hippie community of the San Francisco Bay. A colorful portrait of a sweet eccentric who lives on a boat.
