our selection for Friday, November 8

This evening, we have the choice between “Nicky Larson” by Philippe Lacheau on M6 and “La Guerre des Rose” by Danny DeVito on France 5. Or, later in the evening, the horror sketch film by Mario Bava, “ The Three Faces of Fear”, on France 3.

Marry Me Buddy: “Nicky Larson and the Scent of Cupid”

Tleading edge Who recommends a Philippe Lacheau film to you? Just like that, everything happens! It must be said that this one is cheerfully parodic, therefore joyfully violent, stupid like the original while remaining very solid in terms of action. Thank you Philippe!

At 9:10 p.m. on M6. Film by Philippe Lacheau (France, 2018). 1h40. With Philippe Lacheau, Élodie Fontan, Tarek Boudali. Rebroadcast.

Marriage Story: “The War of the Roses”

Who is the funniest? Michael Douglas? Kathleen Turner? Danny DeVito, the narrator dubbed in VF by Jacques Marin who comments on the war waged by this future ex-couple in this merciless comedy? It would be hard to say…

At 9:05 p.m. on France 5. Film by Danny DeVito (United States, 1989). 1h55. With Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito. Rebroadcast.

The Vourdalak: “The Three Faces of Fear”

Patrick Brion completely extends Halloween by a week with his Midnight Cinema. We particularly recommend the second sketch of this film by Mario Bava, inspired by the short story The Vourdalak Family, by Alexei Tolstoy, with Boris Karloff (yes, the Dr. Frankenstein thing) capturing movie vampire!

At 1 hour on France 3. Sketch film by Mario Bava (Italy, 1963). 1h30. With Michèle Mercier, Lidia Alfonsi, Boris Karloff. Rebroadcast.
