our selection for Friday June 7

Tonight, we gain a little momentum with the European Athletics Championship, before launching into a movie night: sex scandal at Fox or investigation into the (perhaps) Nazi past of a good father of family…

Aperitif before the Olympics: “Athletics: European Championship”

Don’t miss the start of the competition, live from Rome. On the program, among others, the ladies’ high jump qualifications, the men’s discus throw final… A 100% athletic evening, to warm up before the Olympic summer.

At 8:05 p.m. on France 3. Sports broadcast.

#Metoo before #Metoo: “Scandal”

The true story of the women who rebelled in 2016 against Roger Ailes, the boss of the ultra-conservative channel Fox News, even before the Weinstein affair. A powerful film about societal change in progress, and a great performance from Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron.

At 9:05 p.m. on Chérie 25. Film directed by Jay Roach (Canada / United States, 2019). 2h10. With Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie. Rebroadcast.

Paternal indignity: “Music Box”

A woman (Jessica Lange, wonderful) discovers that her father, her kind old father, was – perhaps – a Nazi criminal… One of Costa-Gavras’ most beautiful films (Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1990), which masterfully mixes romance and politics.

At 9:08 p.m. on France 5. Film directed by Costa-Gavras (United States, 1989). 2:05. With Jessica Lange, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Frederic Forrest. Rebroadcast.
