On Netflix, ten (very) good films to watch before the end of September

Netflix isn’t just about original creations and series. Classic or more recent, these ten films will be released from the platform’s catalog at the end of the month. If you’ve never seen them, don’t panic, you still have a chance to discover them.

Netflix offers no less than five thousand six hundred contents, all categories combined. Every month, new titles arrive but, inevitably, others leave the platform. In this cinematic jungle that comes and goes, Telerama Every month, we select the best films to watch or rewatch urgently on your sofa.

Burnt Heart: “The English Patient”

Post-war in Tuscany. A badly burned man tells his past to a nurse… It’s the return of the great Hollywood romance, with a couple as beautiful as Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper in “Morocco”. Not forgetting the luminous Juliette Binoche.

The Throne of Hell: “Queen Margot”

Between the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre and the death of Charles IX, two years in the life of Marguerite de Valois, married to the Protestant Henri de Navarre. An opera of passions, bloody and flamboyant.

Announcement of defiance: “The First Name”

A fairly lively boulevard comedy which pins down conformisms by revealing an unsuspected side of each character.

Robot after all: “Ex machina”

In an ultra-design house in the middle of the wilderness, an Internet entrepreneur, who thinks he’s God, gives life to an artificial woman. A young man falls under the spell of the human puppet, kept like a prisoner by the master of the place…

From Executioner to Hero: “Schindler’s List”

During the Second World War, in Krakow, which had become the receptacle of the “final solution”, a Nazi industrialist, a pleasure-seeker, a party-goer and a profiteer, Oskar Schindler, began a singular drift: he took it upon himself to protect a good thousand Jews working in his factory, tearing them away from the sadistic intoxication of his fearsome friend Amon Goeth, the camp leader with extermination intentions.

En Noir… et Blanc : “Sorry to bother you”

A young black man succeeds in telemarketing by adopting a white voice. A relaxed, then incisive and disturbing comedy about the world of work.

Essence of a work: “Birth of the octopuses”

At the pool, Marie, a 15-year-old brunette, notices Floriane, a radiant naiad who is performing a synchronized swimming ballet with several girls. In the stands, Marie can’t sit still, something deep inside her is stirring her.

Indefinitely beautiful: “Tomboy”

Without realizing it, Tomboy proposes a Copernican revolution. Not a genre film, but a film about gender, a subject that has some blinded parents of students delirious these days.

Shine bright like a diamond: “Girl Band”

A group of black teenagers are causing trouble in a housing project. The group disperses, and the girls become vulnerable again… Gender wars, territorial conflicts: so many obstacles that Marieme, 16, will have to free herself from.

Burning the Fire: “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”

An 18th-century painter, Marianne lands on an island to paint a portrait of Héloïse, who has left the convent to be married. The painter and his model are on their guard, Héloïse especially, distant, hieratic. Then a complicity gradually develops.
