“Resurrection is a borderline work, as fascinating as it is demanding, which pushes the boundaries of the visible and the intelligible. A sci-fi poem which places the spectator not in front of a story, but in a dream that has become orphaned by its dreamer.” By Frédérique Lambert (Culturopoing.com)

2nd: She doesn’t hear the motorcycle – 3.7/5

“The solar force of Manon and her parents is overwhelming, particularly through poignant exchanges between father and daughter.” By Catherine Balle (Le Parisien)

“This luminous, tender and serious documentary follows Manon, a deaf and stunning young woman. In the splendor of summer and the alpine landscapes of Haute-Savoie, Manon and her family come together around an intimate drama and a path of resilience.” By Nathalie Zimra (Les Fiches du Cinéma)

3rd: The Condition – 3.6/5

“The Condition succeeds in giving an uncompromising response to certain current whining and presents itself as a film that is sometimes harsh, but beautiful, and which is a little relieving.” By Amande Dionne (Cinema Abuse)

“Subtle in its writing, elegant in its manner, its story of emancipation coupled with a social and societal critique of the time, frozen in atavistic patterns, can also count on a trio of actors of remarkable accuracy.” By Baptiste Thion (Le Journal du Dimanche)

THE 3 BEST FILMS ACCORDING TO VIEWERS:

1er : Lady Nazca – 4.1/5

“It is both a general public film that we can watch as a family and a work full of contemplation which questions us about the meaning to be given to our action, to the protection of our planet and to the destiny of humanity.” By Stéphane M.

“Very nice humanist film about the extraordinary adventure and vocation of Maria Reiche.” By Alexandrine Naudin

2nd: Mehdi’s Little Kitchen – 4/5

“Great film! Funny and moving.” By Marlow

“All endearing characters and a storyline that makes us dance between emotion and humor.” By Martin “Shmuchen”

A masterpiece that leaves a “lasting imprint.” By Ecuzy28
