This month, the cinรฉmathรจque of Nice has many surprises in store for you. A month dedicated to actor Jean Marais, featuring the landmark films of his career, the philosophical studio of Olivier Pourriol that discusses the risks of metamorphoses in cinema, and a great homage to the Francophonie Games.
Last Saturday, many of you attended the “conversation” presented by journalist Henry Jean Servat about the great Jean Marais, featuring Mylรจne Demongeot, Carole Weisweiller, and Marina Vlady, all three of whom partnered with the actor on the big screen. For those who couldn’t attend, note that the cinรฉmathรจque is celebrating the actor’s hundredth birthday in style, offering no less than 23 of his films screened until March 3rd.
Another event not to miss is on February 20th at 6 PM, the Studio-Philo by Ollivier Pourriol, explores the risks of metamorphosis through numerous film excerpts: X-Men, Ratatouille, The Incredible Hulk… Ollivier Pourriol is a philosopher and writer, author of the essay Cinรฉphilo. Since cinema and culture go hand in hand, here’s an opportunity to see the hidden side of famous films.
The cinรฉmathรจque has decided to echo the Francophonie Games (taking place in September 2013) with a selection of 8 films from French-speaking countries. It’s an occasion to watch movies from Morocco, Romania, Tunisia, Hungary, Armenia, or Chad, and delve into various horizons.
This month’s special screening will focus on Latin America with the film Desierto adentro by Rodrigo Pla, praised by critics.
Of course, you will also find some cinema classics such as King Kong by Merian C Cooper and Ernest B Schoedsack, To Be Or Not To Be (presented by Jean Douchet last Wednesday) by Ernest Lubitsch, The Maltese Falcon by John Huston, and many others. Finally, the cinรฉmathรจque will screen no less than 11 recent films that have won over critics and the public: The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow), My Little Princess (Eva Ionesco), Carnage (Roman Polanski), Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (Tomas Alfredson), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (David Fincher), In Time (Andrew Niccol)…
