What to watch this week? Here are our reviews of the latest films released in theaters or on a platform.
Twisters: a remake that goes round in circles
” Although Twisters be announced as “a contemporary chapter to the blockbuster Twister from 1996” and not a full-fledged remake or a late sequel, Lee Isaac Chung’s (Minari, Munyurangabo) is rather an updated version that offers little more. The characters are not the same, but the stakes, the structure and the dangers, yes,” writes our journalist Pascal Leblanc.

Bolero: chamber music
“At once biographical, intimate and fanciful, Bolero explores Ravel’s complex personality, focusing on the origins of the creation of the Bolero. A century after its creation, it is said that not 15 minutes go by without the famous “hit” being played somewhere in the world! The film does not neglect other pieces of his work (including his famous piano concertos) and his life: his Oedipal relationship with his mother, played by Anne Alvaro; his unease with the women who love him, like Misia (Doria Tillier). Nor his tragic end,” explains our journalist Luc Boulanger.

Normal: around Lucie
“Touching educational film, Normal tells the story from the point of view of a teenager about the not-so-simple life she leads with her father, who is losing his independence, in a suburb of Paris. Benoît Poelvoorde is moving in the role of this widower who is losing his sight and fears losing custody of his daughter,” summarizes our journalist Marc Cassivi.
