Coco Farm is a modern entertainment in which twists follow one another. Hot topics like animal welfare, local food and back to the land are at the heart of the story. Anyone who has ever thought of leaving the city for the countryside will feel this call again at the sight of the magnificent Estrie landscapes in which the heroes evolve. Coco Farm is also an all too rare opportunity for Quebec children to see young people who look like them on the screen. An opportunity that all families should not hesitate to seize.

Megantic does not unfold like a highly touted series at the Chicago Fire Or Station 19. It’s a lot more substantial and sensitive as a proposal. The scenario of Megantic focuses on a core of Méganticois who were at the heart of this appalling railway tragedy. How is their life before, during and two months after the train accident? That’s where Megantic brings us: into the capsized daily life of ordinary people, told with humanity and realism. The special effects are particularly successful, nothing seems cheap in this high quality miniseries.

Cinephiles keen on the history of cinema will certainly take pleasure in associating the various characters with the true craftsmen who inspired them, but this abundance ends up leaving a general impression of an improbable catch-all in which too many people participate. Fortunately, babylon (Babylon in French version) is overtaken by a very moving last act, during which the magic of cinema regains its rights.

Guy and Sylvie show that at 60, one is not destined for the siding or the cemetery. Their sex life is going well (thanks, Viagra). Their complicity has not withered and they nurture plenty of projects. We feel that they love each other, respect and admire each other, while teasing each other. Affectionate pecking remains their trademark, however. Guy’s father (Pierre Lebeau), his ex-mother-in-law Mélanie (Mahée Paiement) and his lesbian sister Élise (Élise Guilbault) all appear in the first half hour. You’ll also get amazing news from Anakin, Guy’s half-brother.

Hugo Dumas

Captured on 16 mm cinematographic film at the Lion d’Or cabaret in May 2022, this performance rich in secrets reveals a humorist who is sometimes vulnerable (he lives alone in a too big house in which he was to start a family), sometimes splitting (doesn’t achalez more with your anecdotes that never end). The faithful will not be too destabilized. Skeptics might be confused.

Varda Étienne tackles an explosive subject in this documentary series: colorism. Produced by KOTV and directed by Ky Vy Le Duc, the four episodes explore this scourge from several angles. At the first, we hear in particular the host Naadei Lyonnais (the island of love) candidly saying that she knows she’s “an easy-to-digest black person” to the general public. A test involving children and two dolls with different complexions is also revealing.
