Thriller After celebrating its roots in “Vallées”, Bernard Minier passes the Pyrenees. Le Grand Confinement, says this child from the Garonne, he lived it “without readers, without planes, without airports, without festivals, either in a way as ecological and cheerful as an extinguished house”. Now champion of gondolas, the writer took the opportunity to re-read Musil, Proust, Joyce and other literary imaginaries. The sexagenarian also drew new inspiration from it. And his new heroine does not lack juice!
Madrid’s Lucia Guerrero poses as a warrior. In the text, it translates to “milk soup, fucking stubborn, unwilling to polish pumps – a pain in the ass lined with a head of bacon”. Through this tough cop from the Guarda Civile, the creator of Inspector Servaz says he honors his grandmother, even if he never disdained the beefy ones, see the Moïra of “M”. He gives even more scope to his company by placing it in a moving framework.

Because since 2011, this now consecrated master of the bestseller has improved. With this 10th novel, he renews his approaches and methods, in machinations always built on a solid background of research. Here he imagines murders with glue against the backdrop of Ovid’s “Metamorphoses”. In itself, mixing artistic classics with crime does not revolutionize the thriller and some famous contemporary novelists, Arturo Pérez-Reverte etc., have given the practice its letters of nobility. But Bernard Minier adds a touch of ancient tragedy that sticks and a style that vibrates with an old-fashioned efficiency. Something to stick to…

Test “Eternity and a day”, pleaded the immense director Angelopoulos in 1998, he who won the Palme d’or at Cannes but saw his masterpiece “expired” according to the rule of the game of “100 films of the years 2010”. As if to excuse the method, the author offers in the preamble a long study of “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood”Tarantino’s blind love for the seventh art explaining arbitrary, if not passionate, choices.
A beautiful book to fuel the debates until the end of the night!

Beyond its rich iconography, a layout and elegant texts, the interest of the book will consist above all in feeding conversations on the merits of films retained at the expense of others. Thus, the strong American domination over world cinematography, particularly Asian, hardly seems to be justified at the time of the diversification of access.

Theater After having charmed La Fontaine and his fables in “Le singe et l’épouvantail”, the baritone Arnaud Marzorati and the Lunaisiens find the writer Pierre Senges to celebrate 400 years since the birth of Molière. “His Majesty the actor” deserved this musical tribute hatched with scholarly humor.
Because these songs which plot and unleash amusing projections within everyone’s reach, remind us that the world where Maître Poquelin created, this Paris of the 17th century, abounded with charlatans and buffoons who amazed the bourgeois with a vocalized pirouette the better to swindle them. .
