Patients

French slam poet Grand Corps Malade tells us his story: after a serious accident, he was rushed to hospital, where he was surrounded by other people in just as bad a state as he was, or worse. With such a pitch, you wouldn’t think Patients is a laugh-out-loud comedy. Think again.

Gainsbourg, Vie Héroïque (Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life)

Many French people are obsessed with Serge Gainsbourg. So much so that Joann Sfar, originally a comic-book author, made a movie about his life. Full of poetry, little-known songs and unforgettable musical scenes, Gainsbourg, Vie Héroïque is more about the singer’s imagined life than the one he actually lived. However, in this movie, it will be hard to tell the difference.
