Ciné cinema: Cannes films simultaneously in Périgueux

The blood ties as a common thread

Patience seems to no longer be in order to dream with the Cannes works. Finally, it all depends on which ones, since on the contrary, two other feature films will be distributed in Périgueux. Two films that date from the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. “Die my love” follows the daily life of a couple leaving New York to find refuge in Montana. A film based on the book “Crève, mon amour”. Then, the ties of the heart and blood are questioned in “Romeria”, “a very beautiful film”, according to the programmer.

Family ties are also explored in “One day my father”, “Sukkwan Island”. These two films address the father-son relationship, while “My big brother and me” “examines the absence and presence of a man who maturely disrupts the daily life of his sister”. The pilgrimage of a sibling is followed in “The Flowers of the Mango Tree”.

Paraguay and Iran, two specialists for two countries

As for Counterchamps, “Behind the flags, the sun”, “an extremely brilliant documentary” by Juanjo Pereira, will be presented on Tuesday, May 12, at 8:15 pm. It traces the Stroessner dictatorship in Paraguay. A film that will be enlightened by the cinema critic and specialist in Latin American cinemas, Cédric Lépine, in partnership with the collective vigilance and struggle against the far right in Dordogne. On Tuesday, May 19, at 7:45 pm, “All my sisters” will be screened as a preview. The documentary film “testifies of life in Tehran through the destiny of three sisters, from 2007 to 2025”. A complementary societal subject, introduced by the geographer, director of research at CNRS and former director of the French Institute of Research in Iran, Bernard Hourcade.
