OUR SALVATION

Dive into a powerful cinematic work with the film 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗨🎬

For an unflinching dive into the Vichy regime, join us on September 30th at l'Atalante!

𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗨🎬 is a film that takes your breath away. At first, you are stunned by the balance (and power) it exudes, even though it is based in a seemingly shaky way on intimate material (Emmanuel is the great-grandson of Henri) and on the historical research provided about the Collaboration period.

Then because it is both a period film and a film of its time. A film of the present, and, one might fear, a film of the future. Finally, because it is a great work of cinema, where everything is just right. Risky choices are made to take charge of the reconstruction of the 1940s, allowing dazzling mirror effects between the unlikely exercise of power by Henri Marre (brilliantly played by Swann Arlaud) and the aspirations of those who are following in his footsteps today. The film is just as damning in terms of historical facts as it is stimulating for thinking about what the shift to the right in French society is currently generating.

A major work not to be missed!
