our selection for Wednesday June 19

This evening we have the choice between a tribute to Anouk Aimée (Arte), the prosthetic biopic of Freddy Mercury (W9) and a well-documented charge against the FNSEA (LCP)…

Anouk and Aimée: “Lola”

Demy lays the groundwork for his future films, in a masterpiece of dazzling cottony whiteness. Anouk Aimée, who disappeared yesterday, gives new meaning to the word “appearance”.

At 10:40 p.m. on Arte. Film directed by Jacques Demy (France/Italy, 1961). 1h30. With Anouk Aimée, Michel Marc, Jacques Harden. Rebroadcast.

Is this the real life ? : “Bohemian Rhapsody”

« Is this just fantasy ? » Is this biopic real life or just a fantasy, as Queen sang in her famous hit? It’s a hagiography, we will respond in Franglais, but it is tasty.

At 9:10 p.m. on W9. Film directed by Brian Singer (USA/GB, 2018). 2h20. With Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee. Rebroadcast.

Mental beauty: “Agriculture: who does the FNSEA work for?”

Solid investigation into the unsavory, not to say mafia-like, practices of the most powerful (and evil) French farmers’ unions, clinging to their deleterious productivist model.

At 8:30 p.m. on LCP-National Assembly. Documentary directed by Eugénie Yvrande (France, 2024). 1h00. Rebroadcast.

Nanar bonus: “Against you”

Professor, married, mother of two children, Esther escaped two murder attempts in forty-eight hours. Starting point for a disconcertingly corny miniseries with Virginie Ledoyen. Perfect with a glass of chardonnay.

At 9:10 p.m. on France 2. Miniseries directed by Fabienne Lesieur and Johanne Rigoulot (France, 2024). 2 x 50 m. With Virginie Ledoyen, Lannick Gautry, Charlie Dupont. Unpublished.
