Why watch this film?
If there is one French institution that stands the test of time, it's 'Asterix & Obelix.' Born in comic books in the 1950s, the story is inspired by the customs and culture of the Gallic people, with these two main characters as absolute protagonists, even going so far as to have television series and movies. This production, directed by actor Guillaume Canet (Blood Ties), picks up the story of the characters in 2023. As its name suggests, it tells of the "Middle Kingdom", telling the story of Emperor Han Xuandi's only daughter, who escapes from an evil prince and seeks help from the Gauls and the two brave warriors. Although ridiculously silly at times, Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom moves with the return of these characters and shows how, even almost 70 years later, there is still room for them in collective memory.

Little White Lies 2
Nine years after the dramedy 'Until Eternity', the sequel 'Nous finirons ensemble' resurfaces with the same positive points that made the first feature film a success. The cast continues to be the absolute highlight, with actors such as François Cluzet, Marion Cotillard, Gilles Lellouche and Jean Dujardin. And the plot also remains flavorful: with dilemmas of everyday life, it shows the midlife crisis of one of the characters, who tries to make a reunion of old friends. There are no great reinventions in 'Nous finirons ensemble', which has the face of contemporary French cinema. But perhaps for this reason, it is good to watch. It shows life as it is. Without filters and with a pinch of comedy.

Blood Ties
Directed by French actor and filmmaker Guillaume Canet ('Love Me If You Dare'), 'Blood Ties' is a remake of the film 'Les Liens du Sang', by Jacques Maillot. This, in turn, is an adaptation of the novel 'Deux frères: flic & truand', by Bruno and Michel Papet. Although technically very well realized as a period crime drama (set in the 1970s), the script wanders between various stories about violence and betrayal (in a tradition similar to Martin Scorsese's), but its quality of acting by many is undeniable. Actors such as Clive Owen ('Children of Men'), Billy Crudup ('Public Enemies'), Marion Cotillard ('Inception'), Matthias Schoenaerts ('Rust and Bone'), Mila Kunis ('Black Swan') and Zoe Saldana ('Avatar'), along with the legendary James Caan ('The Godfather'), help take this action-packed feature to another level of appreciation.

Twisters
Twisters, as its title suggests, is a sequel to the classic 1996 movie Twister, and while its plot does not have a direct link to its predecessor, it essentially tells the same story, with some changes and updates. Set in the present day, the plot follows Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones, Fresh), a meteorologist disillusioned by a past tornado tragedy, living in New York with a desk job. However, when she returns to Oklahoma to assist a colleague with tornado experiments, she meets Tyler (Glen Powell, Hit Man), a charismatic YouTuber who gets in her way. Although not a film that really offers anything innovative (if you saw the first one, you've seen this new version), the disaster sequences are spectacular, and both Edgar-Jones and Powell deliver excellent, emotive, and fun performances.

The Imaginary
The Imaginary is a Japanese film featuring hand-drawn animation by Studio Ponoc, founded by producer and screenwriter Yoshiaki Nishimura (known for Mary and The Witch's Flower) after leaving Studio Ghibli following the production of The Secret World of Arrietty. The plot follows Rudger, a boy imagined by a girl named Amanda. One day, Rudger gets lost and ends up in the City of Imaginaries, home to all the imaginary friends who are being forgotten by their children. Meanwhile, Amanda embarks on an adventure to find him. It is a beautiful story about the loss of innocence to reality and the power of imagination, which also stands out for its hand-drawn animation. Conceptually, it resembles its Hollywood contemporary IF, though truth be told, this film is more imaginative and coherent. A must-watch, especially if you are a fan of Japanese animation and are interested in discovering new names—and studios—dedicated to it.

Planet of the Apes
For fans of the 1968 classic Planet of the Apes, disappointed by the declining quality of its four sequels, this Tim Burton-directed remake was a source of much excitement. Eventually, it was also frustration. The film, despite its excellent makeup, production design, visual effects, and a cast with names like Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, and Michael Clarke Duncan, didn't exactly live up to the lofty ideas of its original, and changed several elements of the narrative although he rescued or adapted others that were too iconic (the ending, although different, maintains the same idea). It is, at its best, an interesting interpretation of a classic, through the unique lens of Burton and his penchant for B-movie sci-fi.

Gasoline Rainbow
Gasoline Rainbow, a film selected at festivals like SXSW and Venice, is directed by brothers Bill and Turner Ross, who often blur the lines between documentary and fiction. This story is about five teenage friends from a small Oregon town who, with no major plans and school behind them, decide to embark on a journey in an old van to a place they have never been: the Pacific beach. Cheerful and optimistic, it is a portrait of Generation Z's ideals and attitudes, where the destination is not as important as the journey and the people we meet along the way.
