ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CURRENT FILMS & SERIES
IN THEATERS AND AT HOME
Aline,by Valérie Lemercier
Synopsis
Quebec, late 60’s, Sylvette and Anglomard welcome their 14th child: Aline.
In the Dieu family, music is king and when Aline grows up she is discovered to have a golden voice. When he hears this voice, the music producer Guy-Claude has only one idea in mind… to make Aline the greatest singer in the world.
Supported by her family and guided by Guy-Claude’s experience and budding love, they will write together the pages of an extraordinary destiny; a love story that will sweep us along on a wave of emotions.
Review
For you Celine.
Valérie Lemercier has the art of telling stories by interpreting them.
In “Aline”, a tribute to Céline Dion – she dedicates the film to her at the end of the credits with a beautiful “Pour toi Céline” – the director looks back at the career of the great singer, who was criticized for her looks, her family and … her need for space, while she lived with thirteen brothers and sisters in the same house.
Valérie Lemercier did years of research and large production resources were used to make this film that would remind us of big American productions, if not for this particular touch of stage comedy. We remember of course her dancing the famous choreography of “Rabbi Jacob” at the César. And the humor, tenderness and lucidity are found in the dialogues and some scenes are sometimes reminiscent of sketches.
Moving, very well acted, “Aline”, whose release has been postponed twice, has finally arrived on our screens at the right time. It’s good to see love, tenderness, glitter and above all the extraordinary story of an ordinary woman (I advise you to listen to the song “Ordinaire”).
She did not call the film “Celine”, which adds fiction and strengthens the story, which is about her and at same time, she is a fantasy
The songs of Celine Dion are interpreted by Victoria Sio who was spotted during the competition of “The Voice” and whose talent we hope will be highlighted again.
Go and watch it, you will have a great time.

Today, November 17th:
Les magnétiques, by Vincent Maël Cardona
A small provincial town in the early 80s. Philippe lives in the shadow of his brother, Jérôme, the black sun of the gang.

Memoria, by Apichatpong Weerasethakul

On est fait pour s’entendre, by Pascal Elbé with andrine Kiberlain, François Berléand, Pascal Elbé.
Antoine seems to listen to nothing and no one: his students (who demand more attention), his colleagues (who don’t like his lack of concentration), his lovers (who blame him for his lack of empathy)… And for good reason: Antoine is still young but has lost a lot of hearing. His new neighbor Claire, who has come to live temporarily with her sister and daughter after the loss of her husband, dreams of peace and quiet. Not a neighbor as noisy as Antoine, with his loud music and his alarm clock that rings endlessly. And yet, Claire and Antoine are made to get along!
