In 2014, the movie « Mommy » directed by Xavier Dolan, got the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. This was a great achievement for this director prodigy from Quebec, who had just turned 25. The script - a tumultuous relationship between a single mother and his hyperactive and violent son - and the bold direction electrified the audience. Shot in Montreal, the documentary by Tessa Louise Salomé tells the genesis of this family drama. It also reveals the failures of the society in Quebec : the failure of the mental institution and the impoverishment of the middle class.

Picasso sans légende

Picasso sans légende 2023

7.50

Involved in the Spanish Civil War, threatened by the Nazi occupiers, glorified at the Liberation, starred during the Cold War: is Picasso's magnified aura really in tune with reality? Without denying his genius, Manuelle Blanc examines the heroic figure of the artist in the Resistance, sifting through the reality of historical events and his actions. Drawing on archive footage and the insights of specialists (academics, critics and art historians), her film sheds light on the weaknesses, contradictions and ambiguities of the man who remains, half a century after his death, an undisputed icon of modern art.
