our selection for Thursday June 13

This Thursday, we commemorate the major tragedies of the Second World War with two exceptional documentaries. And if you’re not in the mood, it’s also possible to relax in front of a Steven Spielberg film.

Pass the controller: “Ready Player One”

Always ahead of his time, Steven Spielberg dives into the world of video games with this blockbuster which navigates perfectly between the real and virtual worlds. With, as a bonus, a burst of references that will delight fans of American pop culture.

At 9:25 p.m. on TMC. Film directed by Steven Spielberg (USA/India, 2018). 2h25. With Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn. Rebroadcast.

Night and fog: “Rembob’INA. Oradour: the voices of pain”

In 1989, a documentary unearthed the massacre of June 10, 1944, during which six hundred and forty-three people were killed in Oradour-sur-Glane. Twenty-five years later, Rembob’INA is rebroadcasting this major work, in order to preserve the memory of the victims of Nazi barbarity.

At 8:30 p.m. on LCP-AN. Magazine presented by Patrick Cohen (France, 2024). Documentary directed by Michel Frollin and Marc Wilmart (France, 1989). 1h30. Unpublished.

The shadow in the light: “Special envoy. Meymac’s shooting: when memory resists”

Two days after the massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane, forty-seven German prisoners were killed and buried by resistance fighters in the woods of Meymac, in Corrèze. If evidence is lacking, this section ofCorrespondent attempts to unravel the secret of this brutal assault, which tarnishes the reputation of the French war effort.

At 9:10 p.m. on France 2. Presented by Élise Lucet. Directed by Vincent Manniez (France, 2024). 1h50. Unpublished.
