7.5Multi-talented, Paul Newman is one of the greatest American actors of all time. With his silhouette of a Greek statue and his unreal blue eyes, he embodied the quintessential Hollywood star. But he never seemed satisfied. The son of a Jewish sporting goods retailer who despises him and a Catholic mother who adores him, driven by self-doubt and an inherited need for approval from his childhood, he has worked throughout his fifty-year career to break the image of the pretty boy. He made his first experiences in the famous Actors Studio. The breakthrough as a screen star came in 1958 with "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". From then on he preferred characters on the edge of the American dream. With archive images and film excerpts, the documentary paints a portrait of a socio-politically committed man with many facets and also pays tribute to the role of his wife Joanne Woodward.

7.4With his grizzled moustache and chiselled features, Charles Bronson is the embodiment of a slightly archaic, brooding and almost reactionary virility. But who is he really? Often hired to play marginalised Native American or Mexican characters before he was typecast as the image of a lone killer, Bronson was a major figure in the popular cinema of the 1960s and 70s and his stony-faced, physical acting and career are worthy of a second look.

7.3Conspicuous luxury with the famous double G. Divided family empire, culminating in fratricidal and deadly struggles in 1995 with the murder of Maurizio Gucci by his ex-wife, Patrizia. Provocative style, notably with the transgressive porno chic invented in the late 90s by Tom Ford. A war at the top of the luxury groups, pitting moguls Bernard Arnault and François Pinault against each other to take over the house – a war Pinault won after 30 months, making Gucci the flagship of the Kering group today. No other fashion house has had such a wild and boisterous history as Gucci. This film will bring to light the breathtaking saga of this house that is more than a century old, and still at the pinnacle of its creative power.

NRDirector, screenwriter and actor, Gurwann Tran Van Gie has assumed his homosexuality since he was 20 years old. In 2013, the violent homophobic reactions of the supporters of the "Manif pour tous", which he hears from his balcony, make him fear to be targeted for the first time. That year, attacks against homosexuals increased sixfold. Gurwann Tran Van Gie explores the roots of homophobia as he looks back on his life. He presents the work of the association Contact Rhône, which tries to maintain or renew the dialogue between lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and their families. As for the association Le Refuge, it takes in underage homosexuals driven out by their parents, of which there are 1000 each year.
