our selection for Sunday November 10

Choose from a Sunday evening classic on Arte led by Steve McQueen, a new documentary on Zelensky on France 5 and high-end theater on France 4.

A long tunnel of pleasure: “The Great Escape”

Have you seen it six times already? That’s what the classics are for. Everyone has their favorite character or actor in this saga about prisoners who want to play the air girl. My favorite is James Coburn, giant of phlegm.

At 9 p.m. on Arte. Film directed by John Sturges (USA, 1963). With Steve McQueen. Rebroadcast.

Hero in spite of himself: “Zelensky”

From actor in a crazy series to real head of a state at war, Zelensky’s journey is, as we know, astonishing. For once, it is the person himself who comments on it, in addition to his close guard and various relatives. An empathetic portrait without being hagiographic.

At 9:05 p.m. on France 5. Documentary by Michael Waldman and Louis Lee Ray (GB/France, 2024). Unpublished.

Long live Pommerat! : “Tales and legends”

Between robots, artificial intelligence and radical questioning of gender, here is the world of tomorrow lived by a group of boys and girls aged 12-14, interpreted by ten (exceptional) actresses aged 26-32. Vibrant. From the great Pommerat.

At 9 p.m. on France 4. Play written and directed by Joël Pommerat, at the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, in 2024. Unpublished.
