“Mercy” begins today the new French Film Festival

There will be numerous previews, including films of consecrated directors and other debutants. Among the repositions, “possession” of Zulawski (1981), in restored copy and without the cuts he suffered in the dictatorship

As soon as it has ended at the Cinepolis Recoleta the Week of Italian Film, so successful that another week should have been extended, and the French Film Festival already begins in the same room. He does it today with the presence of Alain Guiraudie (“The stranger of the lake”), which brings his new work, the black humor gay tragicomedia “Mercy”. His purpose declared: “Surprise the spectators, and myself.”

To point out, like other strong titles of the festival, the drawing of Michel hacanavicius “the most precious load”, beautiful and sad fable narrated by the immortal Jean-Louis Trintignantfamily comedy “United for music”of Emmanuel Coucolwith the meeting of two brothers despite having very different lives, the comedy of female secrets “Three friends”, of Emmanuel Mouretand the sentimental “Out of season”of Stephane Brizédescribing the reunion of a Luster actor and a provincial teacher, who were boyfriends in their youth.

Hazanavicius, it should be remembered, is the author of the Oscar -winning, formidable and ingenious “The artist”Coucol is known here for “El Triunfo” (a mediocre actor manages to conduct a cast of five prisoners), Mouret has seen the delicious “Chronicle of an affair” (Your specialty is adultery comedies counted with spark and good taste) and Stephane Brizéwho came years ago with his version of the story of Guy de Maupassant “a life”, is a huge observer of human feelings, with titles such as “I’m not made to be loved,” “a few spring hours” and “A Amour Affaire”which would be good to recover on the next occasion.

What the festival recovers this year is the quirky sex and fright story “Possession”of Andrzej Zulawski1981, with the beautiful Isabelle Adjani. More interest titles: “The lost picture”of the veteran Pascal Bonitzer (Class, culture and commerce conflicts around an Egon Schiele painting stolen by the Nazis), “the little girl”, by Guillaume Nicloux (after the death of his son and his daughter “Louise Violet”of Eric Besnardhistorical drama that through a rural teacher shows the difficult beginnings of public education in France of the late nineteenth century.
