our selection for Friday November 22

On the menu for the evening: a film marathon, a free interpretation of Sissi's destiny, or an exciting concert.

Plan for bathroom breaks: “Napoleon seen by Abel Gance”

Seven hours of total cinema, between war film, western, romantic comedy… Absolutely rediscovery, this masterpiece of silent cinema, finally restored, immerses us in the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, from his time at military school from Brienne to the Italian countryside.

At 9:05 p.m. on France 5. Film directed by Abel Gance (France, 1927). With Albert Dieudonné, Nicolas Koline, Annabella. Unpublished.

Vicky facing her destiny: “Corsage”

We are far from the nunuche and frilly Sissi of 1955. Here, Marie Kreutzer reinvents the destiny of the famous empress, in the light of contemporary feminism, and taking liberties with historical facts. A wonderful story of emancipation, carried by the grace of Vicky Krieps.

At 8:55 p.m. on Arte. Film directed by Marie Kreutzer (Aut/Lux/All, 2022). With Vicky Krieps. Rebroadcast.

Good vibes: “Air performs 'Moon Safari' at the Royal Albert Hall in London”

After a long absence, the Versailles duo returned in May 2024, on the stage of the majestic Royal Albert Hall, for a revival of Moon Safari, iconic first album dating from twenty-six years ago. All this doesn't make us any younger, my good lady, but the music hasn't aged a bit. A great show, graphic and vintage.

At 11:40 p.m. on Arte. Concert recorded at the Royal Albert Hall. Director: David Ctiborsky (2024). Unpublished.
