Thriller to the bone: “Heatwave”
Luke, a farmer, killed his wife and child before ending his life. His friend, special agent Aaron Falk, returns to this Australian bush town where he grew up for the funeral and the investigation. A dry and captivating thriller, reminiscent of Mystic River, de Clint Eastwood.

Great silence: “The God of the Mafia”
A Bible in one hand, a gun in the other. The mafiosi are also devout Catholics who make arrangements with God. The director adopts an original point of view: that of the Church, and articulates historical narrative and sociological analysis with great mastery.
At 8:30 p.m. on LCP National Assembly. Documentary by Anne Véron (France, 2022). 1 hour. Rebroadcast.
