our selection for Sunday, December 1

Cinema is in the spotlight at the end of the weekend, with an explosive film dossier, but also high-level entertainment led by Clint Eastwood. Later in the evening, we also rediscover a great bossa-nova artist…

The men of the pollutant: “Goliath”

Frédéric Tellier was inspired by the American film-dossier for this political thriller, which examines the toxic effects of an ersatz glyphosate present in agrochemical products. Against the odds, Pierre Niney impresses as a ruthless and manipulative lobbyist.

At 9:10 p.m. on France 2. Film directed by Frédéric Tellier (France, 2021). 2 hours. With Gilles Lellouche and Pierre Niney. Rebroadcast.

Birds of Happiness: “When the Eagles Attack”

Clint Eastwood setting off explosives, shooting Nazis, and climbing a cable car… The height of coolness? This timeless war film allowed its main actor to emerge from the ranks of the Leonian western, and to show the different palettes of his acting.

At 9 p.m. on Arte. Film directed by Brian G. Hutton (Great Britain/USA, 1968). 2h30. With Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton. Rebroadcast.

Brazilian harmonies: “Miúcha, the voice of bossa nova”

If the musician João Gilberto is considered a genius of bossa nova, his wife, Miúcha, has remained (too) long in his shadow. His extraordinary voice and his talent for composition are brought up to date in this edifying documentary, punctuated by the standards of Brazilian music.

At 11:30 p.m. on Arte. Documentary by Liliane Mutti and Daniel Zarvos (Brazil, 2022). 1h35. Unpublished.
