♥♥♥ "Mission: Impossible Fallout" by Christopher McQuarrie. American action film, with Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson (2:17)

Ever since the James Bond took themselves seriously and have become laughable, the "Mission: Impossible" has supplanted them among amateur moviegoers spies globetrotters and waterfalls too much. The rocker dates from "Mission: Impossible, Ghost Protocol", signed Brad Bird, which injected cartoony humor and style into the saga, a year before "Skyfall", where 007 stunned us with his Oedipus crisis and his poses. Shakespearian hero. Then Christopher McQuarrie endorsed the triumph of the franchise with "Mission: Impossible." Rogue Nation, clbady best-of previous episodes, where Tom Cruise, aka Ethan Hunt, found his female alter ego (Rebecca Ferguson). Sign of the success of McQuarrie: he replenishes, breaks the rule that a different filmmaker prints his leg to each film, but without betraying it as this sixth opus is the opposite of the previous one. Exit the flawless rhythm, operatic elegance. Place a blockbuster unshaven, marronnbade, unstable, scotching at times, corny to others, sometimes both at the same time. As if the two films were shooting each other. On the one hand, Jack Reacher's hard-on-the-wall thriller, his taste for mustaches and leather jackets, who wank at each other with their waddies and head-to-heads. queue in the streets of Paris. On the other, the "Mission: Impossible" movie with its endless countdown before the end of the world and Tom, hung on a rope pulled by a helicopter, which makes the ball of pinball in the Kashmir mountains (Dantesque sequence)

The plot pushes the cursor of global chaos and paranoia. There are stockings: the female characters, the mystery around John Lark, mercenary that the world is looking for and that we quickly unmask. Highs: the charismatic Henry Cavill, the central scene in an underground, between light and shadow, where one literally does not know who is who. And then there's Tom Cruise / Ethan Hunt. The film in the film. In free fall, he saves an inanimate guy before landing on the dome of the Grand Palais; on a motorcycle, he takes the place of the star in the opposite direction; on foot, it skips the topography of London and crosses the city as the crow flies, through roofs and windows. The film has fun of his loss of endurance, celebrates his Masochism providential man. At 56, Tom is the show with, let's face it, a little side Roger Moore of the aging spy, which adds to the pleasure, guilty or not.

♥♥ "My Lady", by Richard Eyre. British drama, with Emma Thompson, Stanley Tucci (1:45)

For his return (we expected) in a leading role, which is more in front of the camera of a filmmaker ennobled by the Queen of England, Emma Thompson is perfect. Judge of the family affairs of the High Court, who is respectfully given the "My Lady", she decides without ever preferring. Leaving to neglect her husband (the excellent Stanley Tucci), who, out of spite, tells him to take a mistress. In appearance, the judge does not flinch, too busy to rule on the case of a teenager whose days are counted if he does not receive, urgently, a blood transfusion. But his parents, Jehovah's Witnesses, refuse to give their son the blood of another. The film about a couple in crisis (and without children) then becomes a melo so British where the life of a boy is at stake. Despite a too sentimental epilogue, this free adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel " The "Interest of the Child" is for the enlightening study of the British Court of Justice and the striking performance of Thompson and Tucci, the couple of the summer.

♥♥♥ "Arrhythmia", by Boris Khlebnikov. Russian social drama, with Alexander Yatsenko, Irina Gorbacheva, Nikolay Shraiber (1:56)

Nowadays, the daily life of a couple of Russian emergency doctors: Katia works in the hospital, and Oleg travels the city in an ambulance . They are in the front row to observe the economic and social divisions of their country. A new director is appointed, demanding performance and profitability. The exhaustion, helplessness and alcohol in which Oleg takes refuge will gradually weaken their relationship.

A documentary-like fiction, with a worried look at the Putin nation, its evil capitalism controlled, iniquitous and destructive. The staging, abrupt and suffocating, restores the reality closer to its violence, but with a lucid distance.

♥♥ "A family Italian ", by Gabriele Muccino Family comedy, with Stefano Accorsi, Pierfrancesco Favino, Carolina Crescentini (1h45).

On the occasion of their golden wedding, Pietro and Alba reunite their family on an island cut off from the continent by a storm – a cohabitation that will exacerbate jealousies, lies and resentment, fanning the fire extinguished missed loves while celebrating indestructible affections.

A comedy of dialogues more than staging, articulated on a gallery of characters a little stereotyped but never caricatured. If the author of "Summertime" forces on the violins, his film, melancholic and acid, spares us the eternal happy end .

Xavier Leherpeur

♥ "The Bacchus Lady", by E. J-Yong. South Korean comedy drama, with Youn Yuh-jung, Chon Moo-song (1h50).

So-Young, a badagenarian, makes the bitch in Seoul and helps old customers to die, when these desire it. Admittedly, the baduality of the elderly is a subject of society, and the loneliness of the elderly, an interesting debate, but watching the frolicking of the croutons, it is quickly boring and ugly, and then share the melancholy of the heroine is trying (We understand that she has the blues). "This film tells the story of the terrible reality that the elderly, sick and alone have to face" says the director. Worthy program, but powerfully boring
