Why watch this film?
Period dramas - especially those full of battles and kings and queens, like 'The Two Queens' - are always welcome. Directed by Australian David Michôd ('War Machine'), 'The King' adapts with considerable creative freedom various plays from the so-called 'Henriad', written by William Shakespeare, about British monarchs such as Henry IV and Henry V. The result is a drama about intrigue and power games, seasoned with brutal medieval battles. Timothée Chalamet ('Call Me By Your Name') seems to have been born for the role, in addition to an all-star cast that includes Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton and Lily-Rose Depp.

War Machine
A parody not only of war movies, but a scathing critique of American militarism and part of the army, taking advantage of clichés to do so. Not surprisingly, the film uses real facts to base its jokes, even if it appeals to cartoon humor to portray them. It's not brilliant, but it's fun and fits in well with today's times.
Drama

Boston Strangler
In the 1960s, the American city of Boston began to suffer from a series of mysterious murders, in which elderly women were violently killed with nylon stockings tied around their necks. In the investigations of the crimes, two names stood out: journalists Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley) and Jean Cole (Carrie Coon). While the police remained inactive, the two broke down prejudices and became the first to uncover links between the crimes and to show them on the newspaper's front page. This is the story of 'The Boston Strangler', a drama with suspenseful touches, originally from Star+ that follows the behind-the-scenes of this journalistic investigation. In addition to talking a lot about the crime itself and how it actually represented violence against women, the film directed and written by Matt Ruskin (Crown Heights) exalts these two women and shows how difficult and important it is to be so ahead of their time.
