9.5A look back at "La Cage aux Folles", which ran non-stop for five years, from February 1973, on the stage of the Théâtre du Palais Royal in Paris. At a time when homosexuality was considered a crime by the law, Poiret and Serrault achieved great success in boulevard theater. Their success continued on the silver screen, with three Oscar nominations and a Broadway musical. Combining never-before-seen archives from the play, extracts from the film, confessions by Poiret and Serrault, and interviews with witnesses, this is the story of a wild epic.

7.0Revisits the two rounds of the 2007 French presidential election (April 22 and May 6, 2007), where Conservative leader Nicolas Sarkozy won a clear victory over his Socialist opponent, Ségolène Royal. Faced with the activist, the journalist, the political figure and the gigantic media device set up for the occasion, the audience is taken on board without real or comprehensive explanations. Strangely, the chaos seems organized. Just like when we are considering the range of 'unplanned' events that get media exposure, so much so that we wonder if they really are being planned. Is all this period of unrest visibly set in motion by social activists, agitators, ordinary people, politicians, publicity agents?

L'Éloignement
2009
NRA beach on the shores of the Mediterranean, crushed by the sun, under an implacable blue sky, isolated on a rock like Sisyphus rolling away his bitterness, a man is on the verge of suicide. While ruminating on his fixed idea, he is disturbed by an intruder, a doctor on vacation like him. The man with a fixed idea (Pierre Arditi) declares "I felt in a state of inhumanity", the doctor (Bernard Murat) decked out in all the holidaymaker's accessories: a landing net, an easel and a colored box, comes to invade the morbid loneliness. The importunate debonair begins a conversation that will turn into a philosophical joust where we approach science, Einstein, politics, and the verb. THE MATERIALIST AND THE PHILOSOPHER scrap at speckled foils with the sharpest and most divinely French spirit. Conversation is a balm, an intellectual bandage. The good doctor is a good practitioner and a brave man!
A fixed idea by Paul Valéry
