Description

The Villars MagicCiné association offers Cinema Tuesdays with a programme of eclectic and surprising films as well as heritage films.

Your next cinema dates in Villars : - Tuesday 5 December 2023 - 8.00 pm "The Wave" Dennis Gansel - Germany - 2008 - Drama - in OV (German with French subtitles) - 107 mins Where does radicalisation begin? Is the return of totalitarianism possible? A relentless film. A punch in the gut! This film is loosely based on an experimental sociological study carried out in 1967 in an American high school in Palo Alto (California), which was taken up in Todd Strasser's novel (1981) and then followed by the film "The Wave" (Die Welle) by director Dennis Gansel (2008). Following an unexpected reaction from one of his pupils, history teacher Ron Jones proposes an experiment to explain to his pupils how a totalitarian regime works. After a few days, a movement takes shape: The Wave. Based on a chilling true story, Dennis Gansel makes a gripping, breathtaking film that challenges the conscience. - Tuesday 19 December 2023 - 8.00 pm "The Himalayan High Road" Nicolas Bossard - Switzerland - 2012 - Documentary - Adventures - in French OV - 52 mins. In the presence of the director, Nicolas Bossard Crossing the Himalayas... a different experience, unique in the world. If you enjoyed "Les Fichiers Muret", screened by the Villars MagicCiné association last November, you'll love "La Haute Route Himalayenne". Nicolas Bossard has succeeded in crossing the high Himalayan range on foot and by himself, a feat that is unique in the world! Setting off from Indian Sikkim in eastern Nepal, he crossed eastern Nepal alone, one of the most difficult regions in the world to access. Completely self-sufficient, Nicolas carries his entire "house" on his back, weighing around 35 kilos. It was at the summit of Stok Kangri, a 6155 m peak overlooking the town of Leh, that he finally ended his 6-month journey. Nicolas will tell us all about this unique feat. - Tuesday 26 December 2023 - 8.00 pm "The Velvet Queen" Marie Amiguet & Vincent Munier - France - 2021 - Documentary - in OV (French with German subtitles) - 92 mins With Vincent Munier - Sylvain Tesson In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, nature remains untouched and breathtakingly beautiful. Here live wild yaks, wolves, chirus and many other animals. Photographer Vincent Munier and writer Sylvain Tesson travelled through this region and climbed the peaks in search of an extremely discreet creature, the snow leopard. The two adventurers follow in its footsteps, braving the cold and waiting patiently for it to appear. It is indeed a magical moment when the majestic animal finally emerges into the open and turns its watchful eye towards its observers... Carried along by the melodious compositions of two musicians, Warren Ellis and Nick Cave, these images of a powerful nature unfold a visual magic that captivates the audience. "The Velvet Queen" is a contemplative journey into the sublime silence of a wild landscape that threatens to disappear, teaching mankind a lesson in humility and respect. The film premiered at the Cannes 2021 Festival. Tuesday 02 January 2024 - 8.00 pm "The Great Beauty" Paolo Sorrentino - Italy - 2013 - Comedy - in OV (Italian with French subtitles) - 142 mins A declaration of love to the city of Rome, a film supported by a masterful actor. It's summer in Rome. The "eternal city" shines with an elusive and definitive beauty. Jep Gamberdella, who wrote a unique novel in his youth, hasn't written anything since. Today, as a successful journalist, he continues to exude, at the age of 65, a charm over which time seems to have no hold. What's more, his life is a succession of meetings and eccentric parties. How will Jep live from now on? What will he do? Will he resign himself to it, or will he go back to writing in a city, Rome, whose blinding beauty paralyses him? Fellini's shadow hangs over this eccentric, virtuoso film imbued with nostalgia and tenderness. - Tuesday 6 February 2024 - 8.00 pm "Interdit aux chiens et aux Italiens" By Alain Ughetto - In the presence of a member of the film crew. Description to come - Tuesday 13 February 2024 - 8.00pm "Arcabas, rencontre au soir de sa vie" By Gaëlle May - Documentary on a painter.
