► JUNE
Io sono tornato, in English: I'm back. The problem is... This piece of s**t never went away.
Anyway,
it's a remake of the German book & movie Er ist wieder da, a comedy in which Hitler comes back in the present day. He realizes how absurd his ideas were and how ridiculous he was.
In this case, Mussolini comes back and finds out that Italy is always in danger to relapse into fascism. Sadly, this movie seems so realistic - DirectorMichael Caton-JonesStarsRobert De NiroJames FrancoFrances McDormandVincent Lamarca, whose father was executed for a 1950s kidnapping of a child, grew up to become a police officer, only to see his own son become a murder suspect.
- DirectorLorraine LévyStarsOmar SyAlex LutzAna GirardotKnock, a retired crook-turned-doctor, arrives in the small town of Saint Maurice. He intends to implement a scheme to make him rich by persuading the villagers that healthy people are simply people who don't realise they're unwell.I enjoyed this movie. Omar Sy always gives his characters a fine lightness. But the very sad (and frankly unnecessary) twist let me upset

With his fear of change, imagine if his old bar is sold to an Egyptian and if in front of his shop arrives Oba, a Senegalese seller of socks. Enough is enough-and for Mario, the solution is simple and neutral at the same time: "Put things in place." So he decides to kidnap Oba and take him back home, from Milano to Senegal, one way. At the bottom, deliberation, if all they do the migration issue would be solved simply set the navigator.

► AUGUST - DirectorJaco Van DormaelStarsPili GroyneBenoît PoelvoordeCatherine DeneuveDid you know that God is alive and lives in Brussels with his daughter?Extremely original, gently funny and a bit moving.

- DirectorTaika WaititiStarsChris HemsworthTom HiddlestonCate BlanchettImprisoned on the planet Sakaar, Thor must race against time to return to Asgard and stop Ragnarök, the destruction of his world, at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain Hela.After the first, Shakespearean, Thor, the second movie brought nothing new or any particular key to reading this saga. At that point, Thor needed a shock, and Waititi was the best choice Marvel could make. This movie is so different, so funny and eccentric that it doesn't even seem related to the first two. But it's a good thing, for me. I can't stand superheroes who take themselves too seriously, so seeing a more human and clumsy God of Thunder was a real hoot
