Weekend Screen Lineup: What Are You Watching?
In the world of cinema, there are several intriguing films set to be released, each with its unique storyline. However, it seems there has been some confusion surrounding a few of these productions. Let's clear up the facts.
Firstly, "On ira" is not a film about an intermediary helping whistleblowers, as some might think. Instead, it's a French film directed by Enya Baroux, focusing on an 80-year-old woman named Marie, played by Hélène Vincent, who takes her family to Switzerland in search of assisted suicide. The film elicits both laughter and tears, making for a compelling watch.
"On ira" is not set in the 1970s American paranoid cinema style, contrary to some speculations. In contrast, the film "Relay," directed by David Mackenzie, does indeed evoke the spirit of American paranoid cinema from the 1970s. "Relay" is about an intermediary named Ash, who helps whistleblowers return incriminating documents to their employers while keeping them safe.
Moving on, "Phoenix" is a separate film altogether, telling the story of a young teenager named Jacob and his father Joél, who is a soldier deployed to Afghanistan. Interestingly, before his deployment, Joél becomes the coach of Jacob's soccer team.
Meanwhile, "Ne Zha 2" is a Chinese animated film that has made waves this year, grossing over $2 billion at the global box office. It's important to note that "On ira" and "Ne Zha 2" are unrelated.
Sadly, we must also acknowledge the passing of two influential figures in the publishing and cinema industries. Magazine editor Isabelle Vaillancourt and the general manager of Publications BLD have both passed away. While Isabelle Vaillancourt's passing is not directly related to "On ira," her contributions to the industry will undoubtedly be missed.
In conclusion, it's always essential to verify the facts before forming opinions. Each of these films offers a unique story, and we look forward to seeing them unfold on the big screen. Let's remember Isabelle Vaillancourt and the general manager of Publications BLD in our thoughts during this time.
