The spy we loved
We haven’t seen a better French spy story since Patriots And Office of Legends , by Eric Roshant. In his first feature film. GhostsJonathan Millet paints a portrait of a fugitive and member of a secret cell tracking his former torturer, a Syrian war criminal whose tracks he believes he has found in Strasbourg. Coming from a documentary film, the director has been interested for a long time about the organizations that actually exist. therefore, the viewer’s faith in his story is in every frame. If all the codes characteristic of the genre are present (breathless suspense, false leads, shadowing, etc.), then this thriller stands out in invisibility. The detective has never seen his jailer and can only rely on his olfactory and auditory memories to identify him. With a heavy emotional charge, this sensual dimension is all the more compelling because Adam Bessa conveys it to the fullest. Silent and obsessive, his character finds his target, played by the no less talented Tawfiq Barhom, the main antagonist, the master of pretension… A revelation from a great director and two actors to follow.

Yo, pop prodigy!

He has a rare talent for turning a French song into a syncopated, sensual and devilish dance. With such addictive titles Matcha Queen, this 23-year-old Parisian singer and musician brings extraordinary energy to the new French pop scene. Yoa grew up in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, surrounded by books and notes. His father, a Swiss producer with a passion for cinema, and his mother, a Cameroonian publisher of children’s books, instilled in him a dual culture and a desire to excel in everything. In high school, Yoa is one of the best students in her class. After training, she entered a competition at the Juilliard School in New York, continuing the piano and ballet lessons she had taken as a child. Passionate about dance, Anne-Teresa De Kiersmaeker and Pina Bausch choreograph and direct all her videos. His new EP headlines the ironically titled Nothing, have a disturbing grace and talent for a musician his age. A musical protean (pop, rock, rave and hip-hop), Yoa transports the listener to a very modern cinematic universe, like his generation, but at a much higher level. His rhythmic games and accelerated tempos rub shoulders with relaxed and happy, dreamy vocal lines. PG:

A school unlike any other
SP.
In Paris, between the very popular Boulevard de Rochechouart and the very elegant Avenue Trudaine, is the Jacques-Decour secondary school (where Pierre Arditti, François Truffaut, Pierre Richard, Gaetan Roussel studied). Today, during the summer holidays, with its courtyards, its garden, its beautiful wooden theater, it becomes the headquarters of the Paris Summer Festival, with theater, dance, music, facilities, cabaret and a cool bar under the matinee. trees, is a haven of peace and a must-see during the summer. Cecile Lena is a staging artist, she creates small, ultra-realistic models with her team. His JazzBox sound installation is like a waking dream that takes us on a journey to the land of jazz. There are not enough words to describe the emotion that arises, you have to go there. The always amazing dance choreographer Olivier Dubois combines art and sport with his work. Podium, a happy nod to the Olympics. Back Sentimental educationJulie Beres asks herself a question. “How to be a good boy today?” For the post-MeToo generation. And a little history lesson… struggling, it’s Hot Dog who goes into a wild acrobatic frenzy with the Galactik Ensemble. Oh, if all classes were like this. BB:
