A program where you can find something to satisfy all ages from 2 years old at the single price of €4 per session. The godmother confided to 20 Minutes what are the films that marked her when she was a child.
The one she will never forget: “Rue Cases-Nègres”
Rue Cases-Nègres by Euzhan Palcy (1983) shares the life of a West Indian kid whom his grandmother wants to send to study far from her.
“It was my father who showed it to me. I wore out the VHS so much that he had to buy it twice. The film attracted me because we see children playing on the cover of the cassette and that made me curious. I was very touched by the character of the grandmother who bleeds herself from all four veins to save her grandson from his condition. »
The one that made him laugh the most: “Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves”
This 1954 comedy signed Jean Becker multiplies the gags around Fernandel as a servant who seeks to appropriate a treasure in order to be able to marry.
“This film has become a tradition in our family. We repeat the lines to each other and sing the song back together. It always makes me laugh so much! This comedy is truly timeless. I will also cite A prince in New York by John Landis because I find Eddie Murphy irresistible. I like these family films with their good-natured humor. »
The one who traumatized her: “The Good Son”
This thriller by Joseph Rubenreleased in 1994, confronts a kid with his crazy cousin who gives him a lot of bad times.
“So that was a mistake! I went to see it because it had Macaulay Culkin on the bill and I liked it Mom I missed the plane !. In fact, he plays a kid who is stalked by a psychopath and I was completely traumatized. It was much too early to see this, because I was only around ten years old. »
THE movies she’s going to see
Eye Haïdara has not yet had time to make her program but she is enthusiastic about the idea of drawing from the three hundred screenings that My first festival has in store. “All dreams are possible in cinema and it is essential to dream about a period like ours. » She will be spoiled for choice. And we recommend the excellent Linda wants chicken !, a pure marvel to discover as quickly as possible.
