Amélie

Jean-Pierre Jeunet · 2001

Amélie, une jeune serveuse dans un bar de Montmartre, passe son temps à observer les gens et à laisser son imagination divaguer. Elle s'est fixée un but : faire le bien de ceux qui l'entourent. Elle invente alors des stratagèmes pour intervenir incognito dans leur existence. Le chemin d'Amélie est jalonné de rencontres: Georgette, la buraliste hypocondriaque, Lucien, le commis d'épicerie, Madeleine Wallace, la concierge portée sur le porto et les chiens empaillés, ou encore Raymond Dufayel alias « l'homme de verre », son voisin qui ne vit qu'à travers une reproduction d'un tableau de Renoir. Cette quête du bonheur amène Amélie à faire la connaissance de Nino Quincampoix, un étrange « prince charmant ». Celui-ci partage son temps entre un train fantôme et un sex-shop, et cherche à identifier un inconnu dont la photo réapparaît sans cesse dans plusieurs cabines de photomaton.

The Age of Czesław Miłosz

Juozas Javaitis · 2012

A documentary commemorating the 100th birthday of Czeslaw Milosz, the Nobel Prize-winning Polish-Lithuanian poet. Famous cultural figures, friends, and family retrace the life and work of this extraordinary thinker, joined by Milosz’s own words and a wealth of archival material. Born in a cross-border region of Lithuania in 1911, Milosz grew up a polyglot, fluent in Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, English, and French. During World War II he wrote for underground presses. Surviving Nazi rule, he went on to serve as a cultural attache of Poland in Paris. In 1951, he defected to the West and wrote his most famous prose work, The Captive Mind. By 1960, Milosz had emigrated to the U.S. to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. With the fall of the Iron Curtain, Milosz returned to Poland, where he passed away in 2004 at the age of 93. This film is a lyrical reflection on a life spent in exile yet filled with humor, passion, and big ideas that often went against the spirit of the age.
