  1. written and dir. by Whit Stillman ; based on the novel "Lady Susan" by Jane Austen
    • Sélection de la Médiathèque

    «Here is a hilariously self-aware period comedy polished to a brilliant sheen. Whit Stillman has found a new way of dramatising Austen – or just found a new Austen, an Austen who appears to have pre-emptively absorbed 21st-century satire and inoculated herself against it. Lady Susan is the scandalous heroine, a widow with beauty and a distinguished name, but no financial means, thus entitled to sympathy and in need of money: a dangerous combination. It is a film of surfaces and cynicism, in which the romanticism of the more famous stories is almost entirely absent: not much of either love or friendship. Interestingly, the real Austen heroine is probably the good-looking Reginald; he is the yearning idealist who is revolted by the idea of marrying for money, and is poignantly vulnerable to manipulation. His fate is settled in the way we might expect. But Lady Susan’s role is harder to read. Might she have a heart after all? Love & Friendship is a refreshing and invigorating delight.»

    «This feature-length documentary examines the prime-ministerial career of Tony Blair and his business activities since leaving office a role that film-maker George Galloway describes as The Blair “Rich” Project .The once hugely successful politician who arguably transformed the Labour Party and arrived at Number 10 on a wave of popular support and optimism now lingers at the edge of British politics as the Chilcot Inquiry is released, on the defining act of his premiership the decision behind, the implementation of, and aftermath of Britain's participation in the invasion of Iraq in 2003.Combining testimony from prominent observers, ambassadors and statesmen, with extensive archive footage, animation and illustrations from the award-winning political cartoonist Steve Bell, George Galloway sets out his argument that, despite many good things that his government achieved, Tony Blair's actions since leaving office reveal that his over-riding motivation may have always been a messianic pursuit of personal glory and financial reward.»

  4. dir. and written by Mark Donne
    • Sélection de la Médiathèque

    «With the assistance of a string of well-informed talking heads, Donne’s film points out the major features of the tax avoidance landscape: tax havens, brass plates, capital flight, crown dependencies, and the like. It soon becomes clear that the avoiders’ best weapon is silence – the list of those who refused to talk to the film-makers, helpfully appended to the closing credits, speaks volumes»
