our selection for Monday December 2

To start the week off right, you can choose between a gem of French cinema, a documentary on the work of Moroccans in French mines, and a well-crafted thriller on the flaws in our justice system.

Who is the traitor? : “The Raven”

Watch out, masterpiece! Henri-Georges Clouzot pointed out the cowardice of the inhabitants of a small French village in this drama produced in the middle of the Second World War. With an immense Pierre Fresnay as a doctor-investigator, who seeks to find the trace of a “crow” sending slanderous letters…

At 8:55 p.m. on Arte. Film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot (France, 1943). 1h30. With Pierre Fresnay, Ginette Leclerc, Pierre Larquey. Rebroadcast.

French hero: “Life before us”

Between 1960 and the beginning of the 1980s, nearly eighty thousand Moroccans settled in France to work in the mines. This documentary, designed as an investigation, looks back on the fate of these shadow workers, as well as their fierce fight against discrimination.

At 8:30 p.m. on LCP-National Assembly. Documentary by Frédéric Laffont, written with Ariane Chemin and Mariam Tighanimine (France, 2021). 1 hour. Rebroadcast.

Justice for all: “A deep conviction”

Olivier Gourmet as Éric Dupond-Moretti? A risky but successful bet for the Belgian actor, who gives a fine performance in this legal thriller inspired by the Suzanne Viguier affair, that of a man unjustly accused of having murdered his wife. A brilliant plea for the presumption of innocence.

At 9:05 p.m. on France 3. Film directed by Antoine Raimbault (France/Belgium, 2018). 1h50. With Marina Foïs, Olivier Gourmet, Laurent Lucas. Rebroadcast.
