Comment vous racontez la partie | Yasmina Reza

''Nathalie Oppenheim, a writer and winner of the prestigious Germaine Beaumont Prize, winds up in a small town to talk about her work. Although she describes herself as 'reserved and little inclined to talk about herself,' she has accepted the invitation from a local event planner. Who knows why? It is a well-known fact that people don't always hold to the rules they have established.''
Yasmina Reza, September 2013

Amédée | Côme de Bellescize

Amédée is twenty years old, wild about video games, cars, races and his girlfriend. He has a good pal, a big heart and wants to volunteer as a fireman. But while driving down the road one day Amédée is hit by a truck he couldn't dodge and his life is turned upside down. He can no longer walk, move or talk. After a struggle to survive that lasts many months, Amédée has stayed the same, neither a hero nor a martyr, just a teenager imprisoned in his own body. How long will he and those around him be able to stand it?

Au nom du père et du fils et de J.M. Weston | Julien Mabiala Bissila

Two brothers, dandies in tatters, go back to the city where their parents were massacred. After years of civil war they have only one concern: to dig until they find the pair of J.M. Weston shoes buried in their father's grave. While digging they remember the horrors they and their families have undergone: the painful story of a country that has withstood colonialism, a dictatorship and the violence of civil war. At the same time they recreate the story of the ''sapeurs,'' or clothes horses.

L'Or et la paille | Pierre Barillet & Jean-Pierre Grédy

''Why revive L'Or et la paille? I think what appealed to Jeanne Herry was the modernism of the comedy that she's staging. Over half-a-century old, it is a portrait of certain young people aspiring only to luxury and money and whose cynicism is echoed by that of the 'bling' times we live in.''
Pierre Barillet, October 13 2014
