Stylish and feminist: “Popular”
In this dashing comedy where a young woman from 1958 realizes her dream of becoming a secretary, the sets and design play the nostalgia card. Hence a vintage pleasure but not old-fashioned, because behind the lightness of the subject hides a story of female emancipation, in which Déborah François and Romain Duris overflow with charm.
At 9 p.m. on France 4. Film by Régis Roinsard (France, 2012). 125 mins. With Romain Duris, Déborah François, Bérénice Bejo, Miou-Miou. Rebroadcast.

For the best and for laughter: “Élodie Poux is getting married”
The comedian with a little girl's voice and a sharp tongue surrounds himself with guests for the big day! It’s his unfiltered, deadpan and rebellious tone that takes the spotlight. His banter, his spicy retort and his generosity are worth the detour alone. For all of this we say a big “yes” to Élodie Poux.
At 9:10 p.m. on W9. Show filmed at the Forum de Liège, during the 12th Liège International Laughter Festival, October 18, 2023. Written by Élodie Poux and Michel Frenna. Director: Franck Villano. 107 mins. Rebroadcast.
