The cricket (1978–1979)
7/10
A beautiful series to watch endlessly with children
7 December 2017
Zdenek Miller, a considerable personality of Czech animation, has made generations of children in his country and elsewhere laugh and dream, with one of the most charming characters in his personal bestiary: the little mole, created in 1957. In this series of seven unpublished shorts made in 1979, we will discover a new creature, a cricket, animated with the same talent. On a background of formal naivete, a subtly surrealist spirit makes these films a pure delight.

Donoma (2010)
9/10
What a slap!!!
31 October 2017
Is a new Cassavetes or a new Jarmusch is born? In any case a new cinema is there. The lyrics, editing, framing create an engaging atmosphere, for a film taking and sassy with outstanding actors. Several stories come together and intersect, without ever getting lost, one remains subjugated by this freshness and enthusiasm of youth.

The Battle of Mosul (2017 TV Movie)
6/10
Good documentary to understand the whys and wherefores of this battle
30 October 2017
In October 2016, the battle of Mosul began, which ended with Mosul finally being liberated. Lévy and his team are with the Kurdish units and the Iraqi special Golden Division forces step by step during the strategically complex operation, where the militant Jihadists with the black flag answer any advance with new attacks.

This documentary allow us to get into the heat of the moment, help us to understand the complexity of this battle. Bernard Henri Levy is not impartial, he is an activist of the Kurdish cause, and explain us really well the frustration of the Kurdish army when they are put away by the Iraky army. We see the huge split between Kurds and Iraqi Shiites, which suggests that problems are far from over in this region.

This documentary is a good documentary by the fact you are really next to the fighters, a lot of little events are showing us how hard is that conflict, and a reflection: will the foreseeable liberation of Mosul spell the definitive defeat of the Islamic State?
