Aasian time of the world, the film is discreet, prematurely entering the ritual summer apathy. But still can be found on the big screen a few alternatives to the ubiquitous nature of football on the small.

Welcome new opus of animation images of synthesis of John Lasseter (child prodigy of the Pixar studios) with children shuddering performance and... human qualities of the cars of "Cars"... Those who, parents of older children, face these days the bac test, draw new reasons to keep this diploma from follow the meritorious efforts of Jacques Gamblin in the very classical "Irreducible" Renaud Bertrand. Actor embodies without falling into the ridiculous paddled worker trying to get out of unemployment in preparing this review now essential for any job search. For diehard fans of the romance, they will perhaps attracted by the gentile "We're going to love": two couples, who go wrong (sometimes in singing, unfortunately less well than in Jacques Demy). Unless they would be tempted by the more unusual freshness of "April", first film of Gérald Hustache-Mathieu, where a very innocent novice (Sophie Quinton) discover, find a twin brother until then ignored, eighteen years that real life is not that of the convent, but rather of the nature, wine and love...

All of this, it sees it, this holiday, like the film disaster of Wolfgang Petersen, "Poseidon", sinking with its 4,000 passengers in a shipwreck without surprises. "Bashing", Japanese Masahiro, in competition at Cannes last year, is certainly less agreed. But the true story of a young woman, hostage in Iraq where she was on a humanitarian mission, was returning abused and rejected by his fellow humiliated for having had to negotiate his release, is, for us, extremely confusing... Therefore, it is perhaps time to focus on the resumption of the week, "The great sleep", Howard Hawks, mythical adaptation of enigmatic Chandler scenario: with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.

The first cannoises harvest offer a range of fun. First of all, the consensual, a nothing mélo, but wonderfully tied, "Volver" of Pedro Almodovar, rewarded for its performers and its scenario. Poorly fired, him, because dealing with three subjects at a time, cinema, politics and love, "The Cayman" by Nanni Moretti is not one of the most interesting films of the time. Longuet, lightweight, naive, very American, the "Marie-Antoinette" of Sofia Coppola is not refined grace of "Lost in Translation" but, in dazzling sets and costumes, the blonde Kirsten Dunst is absolutely melting. Original, in the eyes on the Algeria of today, "Bled Number One", Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche, confirmed the talent of the Director of "Wesh Wesh. Iconoclastic in the vein songwriter, "in the skin, Jacques Chirac", finally, does not go very far in policy analysis, but can often make smile. As "Conversation (s) with a woman", the American Hans Canosa (the film was not in Cannes, but his interpreter, the pungent Helena Bonham-Carter was juror), is a beautifully subtle romantico-nostalgic love Duet.
