Rediscover The three Musketeers
« On can adapt freely The three Musketeers on the condition of making it a great show for the cinema”, says director Martin Bourboulon, who signs an ambitious diptych: D’Artagnan (in theaters April 5) and Milady (December 13). We saw the first, and it’s very successful: devilishly rhythmic, full of panache and action, endearing, sometimes dramatic, and wonderfully well embodied.
READ ALSO“The Three Musketeers”: action, panache and luxury castingThree years of work and eight months of shooting in natural settings (Brittany, Normandy, Invalides, Louvre courtyard, Meaux cathedral, Chantilly castle, Fontainebleau, Compiègne) were necessary for the joint shooting of the two films, carried by a luxury casting: François Civil (d’Artagnan), Vincent Cassel (Athos), Pio Marmaï (Porthos) and Romain Duris (Aramis) for the musketeers, scrapping alongside Eva Green (Milady), Vicky Krieps (Anne d Austria), by Lyna Khoudri (Constance Bonacieux)…
Martin Bourboulon brilliantly takes up the torch of the swashbuckling genre by attacking the monument of Alexandre Dumas. His film combines action, romance and drama with a great sense of rhythm, real cavalcades and duels in sequence shots. We are waiting for the sequel!
Take the pulse of the future
Eco-anxious, run away Extrapolations ! This new series describes, over 8 episodes covering a period of thirty-three years, the sinister picture of a near future struck down by climate change. The story begins in 2037, on an Earth where warming has indeed reached a rise of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and is sinking all the way to 2°C. Life on the globe is deteriorating at high speed: mega-fires, air degradation, intense heat waves, complete melting of the Arctic ice cap, submersion of coastal cities, disappearance of species…
READ ALSO“Dallas”: the Ewing clan celebrates its 45th anniversaryIn the first episode, against the backdrop of COP42 organized in Tel Aviv, we discover this nightmarish world and certain individual destinies that will intersect over the course of the series. Imagined by Scott Burns, the film’s visionary screenwriter Contagion, Extrapolations orchestrates in the same way a gradual pre-apocalypse while providing in extremis a way out for the planet. The series impresses with its debauchery of means and its bed of guest stars (Meryl Streep, Forest Whitaker, Marion Cotillard…). Even Greta Thunberg should be seduced!

Laugh and cry with Marcel Aymé!
Wonderful ! In one hour of spectacle, intense and full of fantasy, the whole poetic universe of Marcel Aymé comes to life. Remember this story from Contes du chat why“The Dog”, which may have amused you as a child: Delphine and Marinette take in a blind and generous dog on the farm who is immediately adored by everyone.
The Cat, in particular, is so overwhelmed by the kindness of his new companion that he offers him, a little out of friendship, a lot out of guilt, to go blind in his place. From then on, this blindness which is so disabling goes, a little like an epidemic, to circulate from one to the other, subtly questioning the limits of love, friendship, consent and voluntary enslavement.
READ ALSOPatrick Besson – Last news found from Marcel AyméBut, as evidenced by the furious bursts of laughter from the children and adults present last Sunday at the Studio Théâtre, the staging by Véronique Vella and Raphaëlle Saudinos fortunately relies less on the moral of the story than on its humor and its charm. . As for the actors who embody the animals, Véronique Vella as a Mouse, Nicolas Lormeau as a Dog and Jean Chevalier as a Cat, they are frankly prodigious. With adults or with children, run there!
“Le Chien”, every Sunday at 6:30 p.m. until May 7, 2023 at the Studio Théâtre de la Comédie-Française.
Did you know that Jean-Michel Basquiat only worked in music? That he was even part of a band? Thirty-five years after the painter’s death by overdose, the Philharmonie recreates the sound environment of his New York studio for an exhibition.
We let ourselves be lulled by Charlie Parker, Maria Callas, Ravel, Beethoven… But also by the new sounds emerging at the heart of the Big Apple at the time: new wave and hip-hop. This little return to the 1980s is not unpleasant!
“Basquiat Soundtracks”, from April 6 to July 30, 2023 at the Philharmonie de Paris.

Waking up gently with Lana Del Rey
Let’s go straight to the confessions: we thought we had heard and expected everything from Lana Del Rey. Her drawling voice on aerial melodies was beginning to be frankly repetitive and her eternal sad doe gaze appearing, once again, on the cover of her new album produced (as usual!) by Jack Antonoff did not bode well. new. And then with a flick of her long eyelashes, she undeceived us.
READ ALSOMusic – Under the Sun by Lana Del ReyThe legendary author and interpreter of “Video Games” is bold on this ninth opus with an improbable title: Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean’s Blvd. Right in the middle of the song “A&W,” she transitions from neo-Beatles folk ballad to dark electronic, gliding over R&B beats, and rapping, yes, rapping sultry loops… Incidentally, “ Peppers”, his duet with rapper Tommy Genesis, is downright caustic. We bow. At 37, the prolific and poetic Lana Del Rey is establishing herself as one of the great American musicians.
