America with a scalpel
The Deauville Festival Prize is awarded each year to a filmmaker who has crossed the Atlantic to make a film in the United States, thus materializing a Franco-American bridge resulting from a long artistic tradition.
After Jacques Audiard (Les Frères Sisters), Olivier Assayas (Cuban Network), it is Barbet Schroeder that we will honor for this 46th edition, not for a film, but for all of his American work.
The mere mention of his name brings forth...

For the past few months we have been collectively wondering how to turn a moment into a movement.
While French cinema wasn’t shaken by the Weinstein shock wave, it is essential that we move to take concrete action reaching beyond the issue of sexual abuse alone.
We believe that the distribution of power needs to be questioned...

Each film by Terrence Malick is both a poem and a question mark. This one could have been titled "Why live on". Ask yourself: is our life worth the compromises with values which totally hurt your beliefs and your faith.
According to film scholar Lloyd Michaels, the director's primary themes include "the isolated individual's desire for transcendence amidst established social institutions, the grandeur and untouched beauty of nature, th...
The film received a 10 minutes long standing ovation at the gala screening, which put Nate Parker in tears. It is an eye opener on the current state of modern racism in the USA, expressed and judged by both sides (a touch of Rashomon).

My other winning choices so far would be SKIN and Peanut Butter Falcon
