It is therefore well in Paris that it will be the happiest

Leaving the Germany football fans, fans of cinema, this week, have Paris in the heart. No need to follow to London the two zozos (keyboard, Auteuil) of "The Entente cordiale" of Vincent de Brus, sluggish espionage film parody, nor those of "Dikkenek", of Oliver Van Hoofstadt, appalling diving in the deep Belgium humor bold and bad salace taste. Can, however, interested in the hero of "like everyone" of his compatriot Pierre - Paul Renders, but ambitious Franco-Belgian comedy on the surveyed ideal, he who has the opinion of all the world, is unfortunately a little short. As California nightmare of the Spanish Alexandre Aja, who in "Hill has eyes" distilling machiavéliquement terror, only fans of horror films dare to lose...

It is therefore well in Paris that it will be the happiest. In steps, first, of twenty-one Directors International (the brothers Coen, Walter Salles, Gus Van Sant, Olivier Assayas, among others) "Paris je t'aime", the film sketches that opened in Cannes, Un Certain Regard section: their eighteen short variations on the theme of the love meeting have all to frame a different district of Montmartre in the Bastille, from the Quartier latin in the Marsh, and meet a beautiful bouquet of stars, Fanny Ardant, Bob Hoskins, Nick Nolte, Sergio Castellito, Willem Dafoe, Gérard Depardieu, Juliette Binoche, Steve Buscemi, Gena Rowlands an uneven patchwork, but very pleasant overall. It may be, far more modest, and stars, the discreet "address change" of Emmanuel Mouret that you prefer: taking him also Paris for framework of problems of apartment and heart of a shy musician and awkward and its fiery roommate, he managed a flirt discreetly rohmérien, both funny with elegance and deliciously melancholy. Paris also keeps the rope in the times, with the version restored the Ageless "an American in Paris" of Vincente Minnelli, with Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, why not, coupled with other Hollywood musical comedy, "the Blonde or the Rousse", George Sidney, this time Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak and Frank Sinatra. Again the re-release of "Profession reporter", Antonioni considered the more completed film in stylistic terms. And also the great retrospective Kurosawa ("The castle of the spider", "The Fortress hidden", "the bastards sleep in peace", "dodescaden") that accompanies the release of a DVD box set. A not to miss, a novel mute of Yasujiro Ozu: "Tokyo choir" (1931), portrait of a small employee who lost his place and knows the misery.

Always on display

Over father's day, let us forget football, talk about women! Those, courageous, hardworking, unfortunate, the beautiful "Volver" of Pedro Almodovar, whose interpreters, with in mind Penélope Cruz and Carmen Maura, were all rewarded at Cannes. The very young, all blonde, all lost, forgot his boredom in Versailles then buttons and Christmas, in the "Marie-Antoinette" longuet but sparkling Sofia Coppola. Celle, humiliated, beaten, but always rebel we made love in the Algeria of today, Rabah Ameur Zaïmeche in his endearing "Bled number one". Celle, not fooled but a nostalgic strand (this is Helena Bonham Carter) which is found, the time of night, his former love in the subtle "Conversation (s) with a woman" of Hans Canosa. And similarly, for the very young, that all blue with four wheels and a profile of Porsche (model 911 of 2002), that in the new film to animation John Lasseter, "Cars", manages to melt the heart-engine of a young car champion who thought that the speed...
