« This new documentary by Sébastien Lifshitz (The Invisibles; Little Girl; Bambi) follows best friends Emma and Anaïs over a five-year period from the time they start secondary school. Both a personal story and a collective history, it chronicles the two girls’ friendship and the transformative teenage years where radical change and first times punctuate daily life, while investigating the social and cultural pressures on France’s young. This unique and fascinating documentary is a gift, getting right to the heart of Emma and Anaïs’s lives. » – Synopsis
‘Picking up every detail and nuance in a naturalistic tour de force, Adolescentes is an engrossing and valuable endeavour, documenting adolescence from a female perspective, informing and entertaining in equal parts.’ – Locarno Film Festival
‘Comparisons to Richard Linklater’s 12-year-long narrative Boyhood are evident, with a mix of melancholy and grace, which is as good a definition of adolescence as any.’ – The Hollywood Reporter

🇧🇪
☞ DETAILS:
French filmmaker Yolande Zauberman’s documentary investigates sexual abuse in an ultra-orthodox community in Israel. Yolande is one of the most exceptional voices of French documentary cinema – she invented her own voice of expression through films that have always sparked lively debates and sometimes controversy. Yolande Zauberman’s films investigate the shadows, break the taboos, incite free speech and force people to listen; they attack places of power, whether religious or economic; she confronts us with realities kept in silence; she stands near the abandoned, marginalized, sacrificed and transforms them into heroes… This screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director in English.
☞THE MOVIE:
“M” as in Menahem, a child prodigy with a golden voice, abused by members of his community who worshipped him. Fifteen years later, he returned to his hometown of Bnei Brak, the world capital of the ultra-orthodox Jews, to find the culprits. But it is also the return to a world he loved so much, to a road where the word is liberated…. a reconciliation. – Synopsis
« The only way to escape the past is to confront it head-on in M. Yolande Zauberman’ s revelatory, thought-provoking documentary quietly breaks down barriers and challenges taboos as it follows one man’s return to a community that left him with profound emotional scars. The result is a compelling personal tale that is sensitive to the complexities of the wider issues it confronts. » – Screendaily

This documentary film is a dialogue between young women about female sexuality. Addressing the subject with freedom, courage and humor, they share their stories and experiences with the desire to change the world around them and to assert their right as women to an informed sexual education, free of constraints and taboos. – Synopsis

On the way there, Virginie discovers that the man will be sentenced to death if he goes back to his country. Faced with an unbearable dilemma, she starts to question their mission. The trio has one night to decide a man’s fate. – Synopsis

Mignonnes
2020-11-06 18:00 - 20:00 | Club de L’Étoile, 14, rue Troyon, Paris, 75017, France
☞ SUMMARY:

FILM: ‘Mignonnes’ (« Cuties ») directed by Maïmouna Doucouré (96mins)
DATE & TIME: Friday 6th November – 6:30PM
CINEMA: Club de L’Étoile, 14 Rue Troyon, 75017 Paris
MOVIE TICKETS: €10 full price; €8 for students and all other concessions. Covid-19 era sanitary measures apply – online bookings recommended: https://clubdeletoile-vad.cotecine.fr/reserver/F260223

☞ DETAILS:

A story about an 11-year-old immigrant girl named Amy and her coming-of-age journey won thousands of hearts at nearly 200 festivals winning over 60 awards across the globe. Acquired by Netflix, accused of hypersexualization, the film has sparked a lot of controversy in the US. However, we at Lost in Frenchlation think that “Depiction does not equal endorsement”, and art should be able to address taboos without necessarily advocating for them… Why not see for yourself on November 6th?

☞THE MOVIE:

Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family’s traditions. – Synopsis

It is not for nothing that the movie won an award at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Maïmouna Doucouré as her feature directorial debut, the movie is funny, heartwarming, thrilling, even nostalgic in parts, and holds the power to move you to tears. It is a truly raw portrayal of the coming of age experience of girls growing up in traditionally orthodox households — eager to break out of societal confines but lost in the real world.

Watch the trailer with English subs here: https://youtu.be/fEVQ6HwBflg

☞THE PLAN:

The screening will take place at Club de l’Étoile cinema, located a short walk from the world-famous Arc de Triomphe. At 6:30pm, the screening begins. End at 8pm to allow enough time to go home before the 9pm curfew.
Covid-19 era sanitary measures, drawn up by French health authorities, include the obligatory wearing of masks, one empty seat between separate groups of spectators, the cleaning of the theatre at least twice a day, and buying your ticket online is recommended: https://clubdeletoile-vad.cotecine.fr/reserver/F260223

From the vibrancy of the visuals to the youthful vitality of the preteen actors and the feverish excitability with which the movie captures young female friendship, there are plenty of reasons to watch « Mignonnes » on a big screen – not on Netflix!

“You all, healthy people, can’t imagine the happiness we epileptics feel during the second before our fit …” Dostoevsky.

☞ SUMMARY:

FILMS: ‘LUX ÆTERNA’ (50min) and ‘IЯЯƎVƎЯSIBLƎ’ (STRAIGHT CUT) directed by Gaspard Noé (97min)
DATE & TIME: Thursday 15th October – LUX ÆTERNA @7pm, break @8pm (believe us, you’ll need one) with drinks and popcorn available at the cinema bar, IЯЯƎVƎЯSIBLƎ @8:30pm
CINEMA: Luminor Hôtel de Ville, 20 Rue du Temple, 75004 Paris
MOVIE TICKETS: €12 for both screenings. For one screening only: €10 full price; €8 for students and all other concessions. Covid-19 era sanitary measures apply – online bookings recommended! https://www.luminor-hoteldeville.com/reserver/F357787/

☞ DETAILS:

Get ready for this intense double-bill night with auteur-provocateur Gaspar Noé. 1. LUX ÆTERNA: This medium-length film produced by Saint Laurent is a meta-fictional anxiety dream using witchcraft and persecution of women as a metaphor for how the film industry treats women. 2. IЯЯƎVƎЯSIBLƎ: Told in reverse chronology, the film follows a woman’s lover and her former boyfriend through the streets of Paris as they seek to take justice into their own hands after she becomes the victim of a brutal rapist. This STRAIGHT CUT version, in chronological order, premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year.

☞THE MOVIES:

LUX ÆTERNA

SYNOPSIS: Two actresses, Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsbourg are on a film set telling stories about witches. A vibrant essay on respect for beliefs, the actor’s craft and the art of filmmaking.

REVIEW: Noé’s message is blunt but powerful: What we are witnessing is not art. It is exploitation and occurs routinely. Lux Aeterna is the most surprising and political film of his career to date. – The London Economic
Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/NIKS7rukT54

IЯЯƎVƎЯSIBLƎ

SYNOPSIS: Why do people only remember their past? Why does no one listen to premonitory dreams? Why does the perception of time only travel in one direction? Why is free will an illusion? Why is man only an animal?

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: Why this film? Because the original was told backwards and many viewers, swamped by the anticlockwise structure of the editing, didn’t understand certain aspects of the story. Presented clockwise, everything is clear and also darker. No dialogues have been cut, nor have any events in the story. Which is why this version is called Straight Cut. Until now, Irréversible was a deliberate puzzle. Now it’s a diptych, like an old record whose B side is the less conceptual mix of the track on side A, but this time with voices that are more audible, rendering the meanings of the words more fatalistic.
You will see. Time reveals all things.

Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/ZoDtJjqkfxU

☞THE PLAN:

This event will take place at cinéma Luminor Hôtel de Ville, located in the area of Le Marais, by Centre Pompidou. The first screening – LUX ÆTERNA – starts at 7pm. After a well-deserved break from 8pm to 8:30pm, get ready for the second screening: IЯЯƎVƎЯSIBLƎ STRAIGHT CUT. End: 10:15pm. Tickets available online here: https://www.luminor-hoteldeville.com/reserver/F357787/ (please reserve early to avoid disappointment).
Covid-19 era sanitary measures, drawn up by French health authorities, include the obligatory wearing of masks, one empty seat between separate groups of spectators, the cleaning of the theatre at least twice a day, and buying your ticket online is recommended.

Brutal, disturbing, of outraging unrelenting ferocity but also a brilliant and unrivaled technical achievement. What we get is essentially Noé’s contribution to the #MeToo movement and acknowledgement of misogyny in the film industry. Who was expecting this? Nobody.

🎦DETAILS:
Family relations and social expectations are compellingly picked apart in this French courtroom drama about a teenager caught in the spotlight of a murder case. What if Lise’s crime simply was that of being an adolescent of the 21st century? “The Girl With a Bracelet” comments intelligently on our culture’s propensity to sex-shame and emotionally instruct young women in particular.
🎥THE MOVIE:
Lise (16 years old) is accused of murdering her best friend. As the trial starts, her parents stand right by her side. But once her secret life is revealed in court, the truth becomes indistinguishable. – Plot
““I love you” means nothing. Everyone says “I love you”. A young girl called to the witness stand casually drops these disarmingly simple words that are enough to give one chills. That is a recurring feeling throughout this unusually precise courtroom drama, where words and their power are at the center of attention. In this case, the legal proceedings become the ritual of a society putting its own youth on trial.” – Locarno Festival

Thomas gets back to everything he ran away from twelve years ago. Only today, there is Alex, his six-year-old nephew, and Mona, the boy’s radiant mother. – Plot

🎦DETAILS:
By intertwining the destinies of Pauline and Suzanne, two women brought together by a personal crisis, Agnès Varda paints a lively portrait not just of an era, but also of a burgeoning movement that remains uncomfortably relevant in the present day. Tackling abortion, sexual freedom, education and women’s friendship, Varda follows her two protagonists in the early 1970s in Paris in this trenchant manifesto-cum-fairy-tale French musical.
🎥THE MOVIE:
The lives of Pomme, an aspiring singer, and Suzanne, a struggling mother, as they search for their own identity in 1970s France. – Plot
“An optimistic celebration of women and their ongoing liberation, the film remains moving, inspirational, and perhaps a shade too relevant.” Slant Magazine
“The movie’s audacious irreverence and playful, musical form feel as fresh as ever, as does its call to women to embrace unfettered self-expression by any unconventional means.” Village Voice

Through the streets of Montparnasse, Denfert and Vavin, we will travel to the filming locations of her feminist films. Being a local for more than 60 years, Varda likes to say that by understanding the people, we better understand the place, and by understanding the place, we can better understand the people. Let’s go to the discovery of Agnès by viewing film clips in an open-air setting! The walk starts at 6pm and lasts for approximately 2hours. ☞ LIMITED TICKETS: https://www.weezevent.com/lost-in-frenchlation-x-cine-balade-present-agnes-varda-movie-tour-2
A buoyant hymn to sisterly solidarity rooted in the hard-won victories of a generation of women, One Sings, the Other Doesn’t is one of Agnès Varda’s warmest and most politically trenchant films, a feminist musical for the ages.

🎦DETAILS:
French director Sarah Marx was one of the best filmmakers to be unearthed at this year’s Venice Film Festival. « K Contraire » cleverly takes prison drama clichés and unravels them by juxtaposing the world behind bars with the harsh realities of life in unusual and fresh ways. Sandor Funtek (Blue is the Warmest Colour) delivers a breakthrough performance as Ulysse, giving the character both humanity and determination, while remaining believable as a criminal embarking on an odyssey. Special screening with Q&A on February 28th!
🎥THE MOVIE:
Fresh out of jail, ULYSSE has only one idea in mind: making money. Confronted by his depressed mother, GABRIELLE, the bills that never stop piling up and his desire to live his life to the full, he makes a plan. With his best friend, DAVID, he’ll travel from rave to rave, selling a mixture of water and Ketamine from their food truck. Together, they hit the road… – Plot
We are offered a window into the world of each of the characters, none forgotten, as Marx asks us to consider what it means to be imprisoned, not by wire or walls, but by what life can throw at us. – Eye for Film

We will also talk about French movies like “The Last Metro” by François Truffaut or “Peur sur la Ville” with Jean-Paul Belmondo. The story of these famous places and what filmmakers are looking for when they use them will be our main thread.

📽DETAILS:
French-Malian Writer-director Ladj Ly (‘Speak Up’) new film has exploded on the French film scene. The Cannes Jury Prize–winning debut feature became France’s Oscar submission, with Ly becoming the first black French filmmaker so honored. Almost an update of « La Haine » or Spike Lee’s « Do the Right Thing » “Les Misérables” is inspired by the violent 2005 Paris riots, which primarily involved youth of African descent.
🎥THE MOVIE:
France has won the World Cup. Summer has arrived. It should be a good day. « Les Misérables » begins here in Montfermeil, the same banlieue of Paris where part of Victor Hugo’s chef-d’oeuvre on the downtrodden of France also took place. A century and a half later, Ly picks up the thematic threads of the great writer in a modern take on revolution against a broken system.- Synopsis
“Les Misérables is an example of the work of directors who are audacious and diverse, and want to challenge traditional narratives of what it means to be French. During a time of rising nationalism and right-wing politics in France, Ly’s film further reverberates with an urgency, as this isn’t merely a portrait of a community: it is a study of a nation on the brink.” – TIFF

🎦DETAILS:
Join us to our special screening in tribute to French new wave actress Anna Karina who recently passed away. VIVRE SA VIE was a turning point for Jean-Luc Godard and remains one of his most dynamic films, combining brilliant visual design with a tragic character study. The lovely Anna Karina, Godard’s greatest muse, plays Nana, a young Parisian who aspires to be an actress but instead ends up a prostitute, her downward spiral depicted in a series of discrete tableaux of daydreams and dances.
🎥THE MOVIE:
Nana works in a record store but dreams of becoming a film actress. After separating from her boyfriend, she drifts into prostitution and takes up with Raoul, a pimp, who teaches her the tricks of the trade. In time she falls in love with a young artist and attempts to break away, but Raoul is not about to let one of his most lucrative commodities slip out of his hands… – Plot
This is Godard at his most playful, and “Vivre Sa Vie” is by turns low-brow, high-brow, action-packed and dialogue driven. It’s a masterpiece of inventiveness that’s as radically mind-blowing today as it was four decades ago. – BBC

The director was putting the finishing touches on her latest whimsical exploration of Parisian life when she learned of the fire engulfing the very public monument this past April.

🎦DETAILS:
Adapted by the director from the eponymous novel, winner of the Goncourt prize in 2016, the film offers a true pedestal to Karin Viard who seizes with formidable mastery this role of a disturbed nanny whose mask of perfection gradually cracks. A bitter-sweet reflection on motherhood, marriage, love, and Parisian life in general which is set to echo the novel’s elusively engrossing drama!
🎥THE MOVIE:
When mother of two children Myriam decides to go back to work despite her husband’s initial reluctancy, the couple starts looking for a Nanny. After a very selective process, they finally find the perfect candidate, Louise, a poised 40-year old woman who is an instant hit with everyone. But as Louise makes herself indispensable to the family, she starts revealing her unsettling true self. – Plot
Besides the extraordinary performance from Karin Viard (who had acquired the rights of the novel herself, which shows just how well she knew that the role would fit her like a glove), sufficiently nuanced to elicit real empathy and a minimum of kindness towards a character who could easily be reduced to a pure psychopath, « Lullaby » plays the card of dramatic suspense to the point where it comes close to the horror film. – Cineuropa
