French cinema takes centre stage: The must-watch films lighting up Venice and Angoulême

Описание: Dive into the best of French filmmaking with arts24's weekly cinema show. From the premieres at the Venice Film Festival – where seven French productions are competing for the coveted Golden Lion – to the vibrant Angoulême Francophone Film Festival showcasing a rich variety of French-language films, this is your guide to the most exciting French movies of the moment.

Film critic Manon Kerjean breaks down François Ozon's adaptation of "The Stranger" (L’Étranger), Olivier Assayas's political thriller "The Wizard of the Kremlin" (Le Mage du Kremlin) starring Jude Law, and Cédric Jimenez's dystopian "Dog 51" (Chien 51), closing out Venice with high stakes and star power.

Back in France, discover groundbreaking dramas, comedies and social stories from Angoulême, including "The Amazon Gang" (Le Gang des Amazones) and the sharp political comedy "Prime Rush" (Fils de) featuring François Cluzet.

Plus, explore the cultural phenomenon behind "Connemara", a love story layered with social nuance inspired by a French karaoke anthem.

Whether you're a devoted cinephile or just looking for your next great watch, this show offers a front-row seat to the French films everyone will be talking about.
