our selection for Saturday October 5

Tonight, we curl up in front of one of Michel Gondry’s best films or laugh at the antics of Shaun the Sheep. Once the children go to bed, we continue with a doc on the false promises of techno-solutionism.

Black out : “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”

Joel receives a note in his mailbox: Clementine, his partner, has just had him erased from his memory… Touching actors, a mixture of sci-fi, love and delicacy, undoubtedly one of the best feature films of Michel Gondry.

At 9 p.m. on France 4. Film directed by Michel Gondry (USA, 2004). 1h45. With Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo. Rebroadcast.

Encounter of the Third Kind: “Shaun the Sheep: Farm Strikes Back”

Boom, the alien Lu-La bursts into the life of Shaun the sheep and his flock! Full of cinematic references and visual and narrative ideas, this wacky and hilarious second opus is a treat.

At 9:05 p.m. on Gulli. Animated film directed by Will Becher and Richard Phelan (GB / Fr / Bel, 2019). 1h40. Rebroadcast.

Escape forward: “The Canaries: islands on a drip”

The Atlantic archipelago is a pioneer in the desalination of sea water, a miracle but illusory solution for regions affected by drought, as it is a vector of significant marine pollution. An informative doc which demonstrates the limits of techno-solutionism.

At 10:25 p.m. on Arte. Documentary directed by Yoann Périé (France, 2024). 55 mins. Unpublished.
