A parody of television shows and streaming platforms.

Jean Eustache (1938-81) was clearly obsessed with remakes. Not only did he remake his 1968 documentary about his home town, LA ROSIÈRE DE PESSAC, in 1979; he also remade his 1977 documentary UNE SALE HISTOIRE twice—first as a fiction film, and then, less literally, as a documentary about Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthy Delights” two years later. Let me explain. The first version of UNE SALE HISTOIRE, designed to be shown second, and shot in 16mm, features Jean-Noël Picq recounting a supposedly real-life “dirty” story to a group of people, mainly women (although also including Eustache himself, visible in the foreground of a couple of shots)—a tale about peering for hours through a hole in the wall of a café into the ladies room in order to watch the snatches of women seated on the toilet. (He calls the women’s snatches their “holes,” and the word trou is repeated incessantly throughout his monologue.) The second version, shot in 35mm and designed to be shown first, adds a short prologue with critic Jean Douchet as a film director (an apparent stand-in for Eustache) asking Michael Lonsdale to tell the same story, this time to a different group of people (again mainly women, but not including Eustache)—which he does, using virtually the same words, while the women listeners make precisely the same comments. (The only previous time I saw this film, in Paris soon after it was made, these separate versions were shown respectively in 35mm and 16mm. In the Eustache retrospective currently touring in the U.S., they’re both shown on 35mm, which obscures some of the visual differences.) As for HIERONYMOUS BOSCH’S “THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS”, this shows Picq again, in a different living room, describing and discussing Bosch’s famous triptych (see photo below), mainly the middle panel, to a group of young people, again mainly women, who again add a few comments of their own. The main emphasis here is on various body orifices. An obsessive-compulsive filmmaker and clearly a tormented one who wound up dying by his own hand, Eustache was clearly experimenting with his variations as well as goading viewers into examining their own reactions to them. The monologue in both versions of UNE SALE HISTOIRE evokes many of the interminable monologues of Jean-Pierre Léaud in THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE (1973), all of which were reportedly real-life monologues that Eustache delivered to friends or lovers and then transcribed shortly afterwards.

Do you like soccer? Do you like theater? Then you've got it! Lorànt Deutsch has come up with a revolutionary concept for our hero Fred, a frustrated film director who dreams of becoming a writer. In the meantime, he's doing a series of increasingly conventional and unsurprising interviews with footballers for sports channels. His love life is hardly more satisfying. He goes from conquest to conquest, refusing to be tied down. A blurred, disjointed daily routine. Until the day Fleur, more friend than conquest, tells him she's accidentally pregnant with his child. He had dreamed of being a producer, director or TV presenter. But never as a father.

This socially-driven film explores the impact of technological changes on the city of Saint-Jérôme, which faced a severe socio-economic crisis in the 1960s, mirroring issues in other Quebec cities. Citizens from all social classes come together in a monumental effort to address the crisis. The film serves as both a reflection of this situation and a catalyst for action, acting as a mediation tool between technology and those affected, and facilitating participation in the reorganization of society.

“Being Jérôme Boateng” tells the story of a soccer world champion between triumph and downfall. From the soccer field to the 2014 World Cup title, from celebrated symbol of integration to convicted perpetrator of intentional bodily harm against his ex-partner. The documentary series looks behind the façade of professional soccer—a system that produces heroes but neglects people. It also addresses the question of how a soccer player is stylized into a role model by the media and society and burdened with excessive expectations. Boateng's story is thus also one of false projections that encourages us to reflect on our treatment of and longing for sports idols: What do we want to see in them? Do soccer players have to be heroes?
