The film to absolutely (re)watch before leaving Netflix, a new thing to discover and a classic… We’ll give you some film recommendations for this weekend of June 22 and 23, 2024.
After the Seine shark, here is the coked bear
Despite its novelty and its star Jessica Alba, we would be remiss to recommend the Netflix original film Riposte, which could be an unpleasant surprise and a waste of time for many subscribers. We will therefore focus instead on a new film added to the catalog but which is not an original creation of the platform: Crazy Bear.
Passed unnoticed in cinemas, this black comedy leaning towards animal horror directed by Elizabeth Banks has just dethroned in the Top 10 France the great success Under the Seine. The furious shark of the Seine has therefore given way to a bear high on cocaine who prowls in a forest where teenagers and forest guards, criminals and police officers, tourists meet… Inspired by the true story of a bear who overdosed after consuming large quantities of cocaine parachuted by a trafficker, Crazy Bear divided the critics but has for him a general freshness and some very funny and gory sequences.
A sulphurous classic
If Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux are major figures in French and international cinema today, they owe it in part to the film that definitively revealed them: The Life of Adèle – chapters 1 and 2.
A formidable cinema film of “reality”, with a breathtaking mastery of naturalism, daring to the point of excess, The Life of Adèle tells the following story:
Seventeen years old, young Adèle inevitably believes that a girl must meet boys and dreams of true love. She lets herself be seduced by Thomas, a final year student, and quickly ends this affair. She then meets Emma, a young woman with blue hair. It’s love at first sight. This meeting totally turns her life upside down, with whom Emma haunts her dreams and her most intimate desires every night…
Acclaimed upon its release as much as it was controversial for its problematic filming conditions, The Life of Adele has become a classic of French cinema and a cult film for an entire generation, to be (re)discovered on Netflix at your leisure.
Last days to get emotional with Will Smith
The 2007 film In search of happiness brings together Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith to tell the moving story true story by Chris Gardner, a sales representative who despite his efforts cannot get his home out of precariousness.
