The confrontation between chess champion Garry Kasparov and the IBM computer Deep Blue in 1997 marked the appearance of artificial intelligence in the media. But a two-hour film would have been enough. Superiority of cinema over series?
At 8:55 p.m. on Arte. Miniseries created by Yan England, André Gulluni and Bruno Nahon (1 to 3/6, France/Hungary, 2023). 3 × 50 mins. Unpublished.

Terminus Paradis : “Snowpiercer. Le Transperceneige”
Snowpiecer’s train, launched at full speed into a postapocalyptic world. SnowPiercer – Moho Films – Opus Pictures
This is the genius of Bong Joon-ho: offering several levels of reading within the framework of a genre film – here, postapocalyptic science fiction. This crazy train, symbol of a frenzied class struggle, is also the allegory of a society drunk on speed and energy. Fascinating.
At 9:10 p.m. on CStar. Film directed by Bong Joon-ho (South Korea, 2013). 2 hours. With Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton. Rebroadcast.

Is the romantic comedy reactionary? Let’s keep the question in mind by rewatching this Hollywood fairy tale that makes its honey from the most outdated clichés on female-male relationships. But hey, Julia Roberts, still, popopo!
At 9:10 p.m. on W9. Film directed by Garry Marshall (USA, 1990). 2h10. With Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Rebroadcast.
