Why should you watch it? In theory, we know very well that Pierce Brosnan deserves nothing less than James Bond. But in practice, it’s not always that simple. However, during his heyday, the British actor played roles of all kinds. In 1997, he performed this mythical character of literature who is Robinson Crusoéin an adaptation of Daniel Defoe’s novel by Rod Hardy and George T. Miller.

What is this about? Victims of violent theft meet perpetrators convicted of these same crimes, in order to dialogue within the framework of Restorative Justice. These difficult exchanges are supervised by professionals and volunteers.
Why you need to see it ? Because it’s one of the best French films of recent years, and one of the most heartbreaking. Considering the pitch, I will always see your faces could be a tear-jerker, but it is on the contrarya subtle film in the way it approaches its delicate subjectwithout blind naivety or reproachful a priori. The director and screenwriter, Jeanne Herry, opts for a summary, even minimalist staging, leaving the spotlight to her actors, letting the silences, the looks, the hesitations, the sobs in the voice guide the narration.
And then, we have to stop at the casting: Leïla Bekhti, Élodie Bouchez, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Dali Bensallah, Miou-Miou, Raphaël Quenard, Gilles Lellouche, Denis Podalydès and even Fred Testot.

Why should you watch it? If you are passionate about space and you were in front of your screen to follow the takeoff of Artemis 2 towards the Moon, Apollo 13 is obviously unmissable. Not necessarily for the direction of Ron Howard, who once again delivers beautiful, effective work but without much virtuosity, but rather for its thrilling plot and obviously taken from a true story. The Apollo 13 mission is indeed the one known for its famous « Houston, on a un problème ? ».
And if you follow the flight of Artemis 2 towards the far side of the Moon, you will be delighted to experience the “imminent danger of death” version experienced by astronauts Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) in April 1970, almost 56 years ago to the day.
