Dinosaurs at the Science Center, tribute to Jean-Marc Vallée, Wakanda Forever, white dog… Several options to marvel at. Here are some suggestions from our journalists.
Behind the scenes of Golden Record at the Denise-Pelletier Theater
If you ever listen to us takes us with delight behind the scenes of the making of the Golden Record, this precious disc sent into space in 1977 for the benefit of other forms of intelligent life. Laurence Dauphinais and Maxime Carbonneau recreate for us the epic process that culminated in the selection of some 300 musical pieces and sound clips meant to describe or represent our life on Earth. The documentary piece is presented at Théâtre Denise-Pelletier until November 25.

Guylaine Tremblay reveals herself with generosity in I don’t know how I don’t know why.
The autobiographical show I don’t know how, I don’t know why by actress Guylaine Tremblay is presented as an extra at the Théâtre Maisonneuve on November 20 at 3 p.m. “Anyone other than Guylaine Tremblay who would have embarked on this slightly immodest exercise would have had a good chance of breaking their teeth,” wrote our journalist Stéphanie Morin last March. But the actress knows how to make people laugh and move in the same sentence. She knows how to flush out (much like her idol Deschamps) the little things that give life its full flavor. She knows how to tell her life in a way that gives meaning to ours. This is a talent that we did not know about him. »

The appearance of the therizinosaurus is a little different from the image we had of dinosaurs.
The Montreal Science Center hosts the exhibition dinosaurs around the world, presented until March 12, 2023. On the menu: explanatory kiosks and very realistic dinosaurs, to the point where we can see “the skin of their sides lifting, as if they were breathing”, mentioned journalist Marie Tison on October 10 last. Plus, “they’re big, they move, they go rrroaaAAARRrr. It is very difficult to resist the charms of the 20 life-size dinosaurs that have taken up residence at the Center des sciences de Montréal,” according to our journalist.
At the movie theater : Wakanda Forever and white dog
Continuation of the cultural phenomenon that occupies the 14e all-time box office rank, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever meets expectations, in the opinion of our journalist Pascal LeBlanc. “You could criticize Ryan Coogler for stretching certain scenes or waiting too long before diving into the heart of the story. If we see Wakanda Forever as mere entertainment, these reviews are valid. But this work is more. It pays tribute to Chadwick Boseman, a very talented actor while allowing the artisans of the film to express their pain artistically. »

With this adaptation of an autobiographical story by Romain Gary set in the aftermath of the death of Martin Luther King, Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette offers a film whose evocative power also includes beautiful poetic impulses, believes our critic Marc-André Lussier. This drama with social and political overtones is characterized by another impeccable composition by Denis Ménochet. white dog is one of those works that mark the spirits.
