our selection for Saturday November 2

This evening, we have the choice between spending the evening with Saoirse Ronan in “Lady Bird”, the author-designer Jul “In the Boots of Lucky Luke” or Jérôme Pitorin in Bali in “Échappées belles”. In no order of preference, it's up to you!

When you're 17: “Lady Bird”

On had noticed Saoirse Ronan as an Irish immigrant in love in Brooklyn or as a pastry chef (also in love…) in The Grand Budapest Hotel. But this wonderful film by Greta Gerwig was her consecration. She is Lady Bird, a young woman in love but not only that: brilliant, a bit angry and funny at the same time!

At 9 p.m. on France 4. Film directed by Greta Gerwig (United States, 2017). 1h30. With Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Lucas Hedges. Rebroadcast.

All in the West: “In the Boots of Lucky Luke”

Almost everything has been said about the man who shot faster than his shadow – although, no one has yet interviewed the shadow, poor thing. This is more of a documentary in the form of a side step: the designer Jul, writer of recent albums, takes us live to the lands of Lucky Luke to assess the quality of the comic's photos.

At 8:50 p.m. on Arte. Documentary by Xavier Lefebvre (France, 2023). 3 × 55 mins. Unpublished.

Ticket to Paradise: “Bali, majestic and secret”

Sometimes you have to know how to say stop. Tired of very good films, tired of good documentaries. You have to put on France 5, open up to the good old magazines. Discover this episode ofBeautiful escapeswhere Jérôme Pitorin is fascinated by Bali. Contemplate the sea, then the caves, then the sea. Breathe.

At 10:30 p.m. on France 5. Presented by Jérôme Pitorin (France, 2023). 90 mins. Rebroadcast.

Bonus² Sciamma: “Birth of octopuses” and “Portrait of the young girl on fire”

Return to the cinema with a Sciamma double bill. This Birth of octopuses is also that of a filmmaker (it's her first film) and an actress (she, her second): Céline Sciamma and Adèle Haenel. Who meet again, twelve years later, for a masterpiece, Portrait of the girl on fire : on this film, no need to elaborate.

At 8:50 p.m. then 10:10 p.m. on Ciné+Festival.
