FREE ON ARTS.FILM MAY 1 – 31, 2025
Dernières nouvelles du cosmos by Julie Bertuccelli
Despite being nearly 30, Hélène still looks like a teenager. She writes powerful, physical texts with a caustic humour. As she herself says, she was part of a “miscalibrated batch that doesn’t fit in anywhere”. A visionary author, the thinking contained in her telepathic poetry is deep and far ranging, speaking to us of her world and ours. She collaborates with a theatre director adapting her work and has discussions with a mathematician. And yet, Hélène cannot hold a pen and has never learned to read or write. She was 20 years old when hermother discovered that she could communicate by arranging laminated letters on a piece of paper. This is one of the many mysteries of a woman who calls herself Babouillec.
COLLECTION OF THE WEEK
Cannes seen by ARTS.FILM
From May 13 to 24, as every year, Cannes hosts the grand get-together of the cinema world. To mark the occasion, ARTS.FILM presents a special selection. With Cannes, le festival libre, you’ll (re)discover the origins of an event conceived in 1939 to resist fascism; with Persona, the film that saved Ingmar Bergman, you’ll go behind the scenes of a masterpiece directed by the only filmmaker to win the “Palme des Palmes”; with Alida, presented at Cannes Classics in 2020, you’ll learn more about the life of actress Alida Valli; with Hidden, Cannes Festival regular Jafar Panahi signs an essential short film; with Alain Delon, cet Inconnu, you’ll unravel the mystery of the French actor who won an honorary Palme d’Or. And finally, because there’s no festival without an audience, Fellini premières fois (Fellini First Times) will tell you how artists and enthusiasts were moved by the work of the Italian filmmaker, who won the Palme d’Or in 1960 for La dolce vita.
Off to the Croisette!
