THE UNAVOIDABLE
Tokyo Vice – Thursday, September 15
Tokyo, 1990s. Jake, an American news reporter, works for one of Japan’s most prominent newspapers. Passionate about organized crime, he closely follows the fearsome Yakuza gangs, going so far as to put his life in danger by infiltrating the mafia.
Inspired by the true story of Jake Adelstein, an investigative journalist whose eponymous book caused a stir, the slick aesthetics and omnipresent tension of Tokyo Vice make it the event series of the season, to be discovered from September 15.
It is Ansel Elgort, the revelation of West Side Story and Baby Driver who lends him his features, alongside Ken Watanabe (Inception, the Last Samurai…) and the Franco-Swiss Ella Rumpf (Grave). At the realization of this series in 8 episodes, we find Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) while the genius of the thriller Michael Mann, (Heat), signs the pilot.
Spider-Man: No Way Home – Friday, September 9
Notice to Marvel fans! Spider-Man: No Way Home, the third part of the adventures carried by Tom Holland awaits you on myCANAL from Friday, September 9! With its 7.3 million admissions in France, Jon Watts’ feature film is the undisputed box office champion of 2021.
Spider-Man’s identity has been revealed. His only hope for redemption: to make the whole world forget the name of Peter Parker thanks to a spell. But not everything goes as planned, due to the opening of the multiverse…
Tom Holland therefore puts on the costume of the hero again, accompanied by Benedict Cumberbatch in the guise of Doctor Strange. But that’s not all, since the film has a host of surprises in store for early audiences with the return of big names from Sam Raimi’s trilogy with Tobey Maguire and Marc Webb’s diptych starring Andrew Garfield. A nugget for all nostalgics.
Lost Illusions – Tuesday, September 20
The adaptation of one of Honoré de Balzac’s most emblematic works, Lost Illusions, can be discovered from September 20 on myCANAL. Acclaimed by critics and acclaimed by the public, the film was rewarded at the César 2022 ceremony with 7 statuettes, including that of Best Film, and broke all nomination records, since cited in 15 categories.
It is Xavier Giannoli who stages the fascinating rise of Lucien de Rubempré, a poet from the provinces who discovers Paris in the 19th century. As he climbs the ladder of sensational journalism and discovers the excesses of the capital, the political situation escalates and turns against him…
Scathing replies, verbal jousts and power games are brought to the screen by a superb cast: Benjamin Voisin, César for Best Male Hope and Vincent Lacoste, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, are surrounded by Cécile de France, Gérard Depardieu and even Xavier Dolan.
HIGHLIGHTS
