The Scars
Mar 12, 2019 | IMDB 10
29 min Watch NowDocumentary, Drama
The personal stories lived by the Uncle, the Father and the Son, respectively, form a tragic experience that is drawn along a line in time. This line is comparable to a crease in the pages of the family album, but also to a crack in the walls of the paternal house. It resembles the open wound created when drilling into a mountain, but also a scar in the collective imaginary of a society, where the idea of salvation finds its tragic destiny in the political struggle. What is at the end of that line? Will old war songs be enough to circumvent that destiny?

Sagan
IMDB 6.2 | Jun , 2008
France, 1950s. From the Quartier Latin to Saint-Tropez via New York, a young Parisienne becomes the icon of a whole generation. In 1954, 19-year-old Francoise Sagan shot to fame with her first novel, Bonjour Tristesse. Flamboyant, scandalous and underrated, Sagan lived her life at the furthest edge of excess. She won and lost fortunes at the roulette table, bought and crashed superb sports cars, drank, danced and partied, leaving a trail of lovers in her wake.The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

IMDB 7.4 | Oct , 2021
Composed of numerous archives and film clips, this documentary is the story of a transgressive actor, a pirate who came to crack America's too perfect mask to reveal its most infantile and moronic face, right in the heart of the Hollywood system.Sous le soleil de Pialat
IMDB 6 | Oct , 2021
In just ten films, Maurice Pialat painfully rose to the top of the cinema, draining into his legend a mad demand for truth as much as memorable fury to achieve it. With "L'Enfance nue", his first feature film at the age of 43, the filmmaker immediately made his mark, this "art of making things authentic", according to Chabrol. But throughout an unclassifiable filmography in the form of an autobiography, from a break-up to his fatherhood in wonder, through the agony of his mother, the filmmaker does not get rid of the feeling of being misunderstood, despite international recognition.'Round Midnight
IMDB 7.1 | Sep , 1986

IMDB 9.8 | Jan , 2018
One of the first US born conductors to receive worldwide fame, Leonard Bernstein is an exceptional composer and certainly not only due to The West Side Story. Instead of concentrating exclusively on his most famous work, Thomas von Steinaecker sets out to paint a complete picture of Bernstein. Thus, the documentary focusses on the American’s less known later works and on three compositions in particular: his Mass, the musical 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the great final opera A Quiet Place. The film paints a vivid picture of the multitalented Bernstein, struggling with his role as composer and conductor, tackling the tension between successes and flops, between the politics of his time and his own liberal humanitarian claim. It looks back on Bernstein’s major achievements, such as his acclaimed conducting of Mahler and his involvement in the Young People’s Concerts, and it shows Bernstein’s work with young aspiring musicians as well as his political commitment.The Coolest Person In The World

But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people and has set his sights upon joining the team.CYCLE
IMDB 0 | May , 2025
CYCLE pierces the silence surrounding police violence in America through the killing of Ty’rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager whose death at the hands of police occurred without cameras, witnesses, or public scrutiny. In the absence of visual evidence, his case slipped quietly out of view—mirroring a broader pattern in which accountability depends on what can be seen. The film follows the aftermath of an unseen death: closed courtrooms, shifting official narratives, and the toll of pursuing answers within opaque systems of power. Rather than relying on the virality of a moment, CYCLE examines how silence functions within institutions, and how families are left to carry truth forward when justice fails.Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil
