Emmanuel Mouret, young filmmaker gifted, confessing to masters to shoot Keaton and Rohmer, proposes a flirt punctuated by gags, "make me happy". It interprets the hero, Jean-Jacques, Lunar love lost in a stark world. The humour of Dino Risi is more bloody. "The India swashbuckling" (1962), a duo launched at full speed on the roads of the Italy in a Lancia the delicate and Gassman Grande Gueule Trintignant Coupe is again on the screens and it is good news. In any other register of the political thriller where the powers are never enough of balances, do not hesitate to discover "Games of power" of Kevin Macdonald, who had impressed with "The last King of Scotland", Chronicle of the Ugandan dictatorship. Here, democracy is real, but it is still threatened by the collusion of powers and endemic corruption. Only a journalist with the temper of Russell Crowe is able to breathe a little bit of ethics in a world lost.
