    «Twenty-eight-year-old Miles is haunted by guilt for having inadvertently caused the death of his step-brother, an incident that caused him to flee New York seven years previously. Now he lives in Florida, photographing the last traces of families who have abandoned their houses due to debt or foreclosure during the banking crisis. When a complicated romance forces him to go on the run again, he returns to Brooklyn to confront his father and his past. A compelling story of love and forgiveness.»

  2. Regie Heinrich Breloer ; nach dem Roman Buddenbrooks von Thomas Mann
    • Sélection de la Médiathèque

    «Der Kinofilm adaptiert einen der bedeutendsten Romane deutscher Sprache, für den Thomas Mann 1929 mit dem Literaturnobelpreis ausgezeichnet wurde. Angelehnt an die literarische Vorlage schildert er das bewegende Schicksal der traditionsreichen Kaufmannsfamilie Buddenbrook in der Hansestadt Lübeck im 19. Jahrhundert. Über drei Generationen erleben die Zuschauer, wie eine wohlhabende Patrizierfamilie am Lebenskonflikt zwischen geschäftlichen Interessen und Streben nach persönlichem Glück langsam zerbricht.»

    «Josu, a young ETA member, has suffered an almost complete memory loss after being wounded in a fight with the police. Francesca, a young psychologist, helps Josu recover his memory. As a feeling of mutual affection grows between her and her patient, it becomes unclear whether Josu really wants to recover his memory or would rather forget who he actually is. Meanwhile, Francesca's boyfriend, a university professor very critical of the situation in the Basque Country, is threatened by ETA for his views on the political conflict.»

    «Participating in a masterclass in 2005, the playwright contributes to the rehearsal of extracts from his own plays offering a rare insight into his creative processes. Complementing this revealing footage is an interview with Harold Pinter speaking with his friend and theatrical ally Henry Woolf, as well as liberal quotations from film and television productions of his plays. Harry Burton's 2007 film is a unique documentary about a unique writer. Achieving unprecedented access to Harold Pinter working with actors, the film captures his collaborative spirit and offers a remarkable insight into his writing.»

    «Georg Baselitz, einer der international bekanntesten deutschen Künstler, lebt zurückgezogen in einem weiträumigen Schloss in Niedersachsen. Der Film begleitet den "Malerfürsten", beobachtet ihn bei der Arbeit in seiner Druckerei an einer neuen Grafikreihe. Auf dem Boden des Ateliers entstehen seine Bilder, aus dicken Baumstämmen schlägt er seine Skulpturen. Seine Frau Elke ist die erste und wichtigste Kritikerin seiner Arbeiten. "Elke" ist deshalb ein wichtiges, immer wieder aufgegriffenes Motiv im Werk des Georg Baselitz. Die Sujets seiner Bilder - Portraits, Akte, Landschaften - stellt er seit 1969 auf den Kopf. Eigentlich heisst Baselitz Hans Georg Kern, doch nach dem Vorbild der Renaissance-Künstler nennt er sich nach dem Dorf bei Dresden, in dem er geboren wurde. Aus dem Sohn des Dorflehrers wird ein Maler, dessen Werke zu den teuersten der Gegenwartskunst zählen. Baselitz umgibt sich mit seinen Schöpfungen, ist aber auch leidenschaftlicher Sammler von afrikanischen Skulpturen wie von Drucken des Manierismus. Baselitz spricht über seine Wurzeln und Bindungen, über die Krise in seiner Lebensmitte und die Freiheit der späten Schaffensphase. Eine deutsche Biographie voller Spannung und Widerspruch.»

  6. dir. by Catherine Hunter
    • Sélection de la Médiathèque

    «Documentary about the artist many regard as the greatest Australian painter of the twentieth century - Sidney Nolan. If all art has a biographical element, this was dramatically true in the case of Nolan. Through interviews with friends, contemporaries and observers, producer Catherine Hunter reconstructs the intimate relationships that shaped Nolan's life: the women he loved, and who loved him.»

    "Through the work of and in the context of the lives of Louis Bachelier, Paul Samuelson, Eugene Fama, Stephen Ross, James Tobin, and Robert Shiller, the book addresses the following key questions: do financial securities follow a random walk? Does arbitrage allow markets to digest and fully incorporate all available information into the price of a security? Do the assumptions of the efficient market hypothesis make intuitive sense? And how can we further refine our understanding of the behaviour of financial markets?"

    "Ein Mann, der zum Mörder wird, weil ihn die Sonne blendet – bis heute ist Der Fremde eine der berühmtesten literarischen Figuren der Welt. Albert Camus, sein Schöpfer, ist der Philosoph des Absurden, in das der Mensch hineingestellt ist, der Denker der Revolte, die den Menschen ausmacht – und immer der Anwalt der Einfachheit, die dem Algerienfranzosen das Grundgegebene unter der Sonne und zugleich das am stärksten Gefährdete war. «Aktueller denn je», lautet der Befund von Iris Radisch, einer der führenden deutschsprachigen Literaturkritikerinnen, die uns aus Anlass seines 100. Geburtstages auf eine faszinierende Reise mitnimmt."

    “Based on eight years of exhaustive research and exclusive interviews with more than 200 people-and published in coordination with the international theatrical release of a major documentary film from the Weinstein Company-The Private War of J.D. Salinger is a global cultural event: the definitive biography of one of the most beloved and mysterious figures of the twentieth century. For more than fifty years, the ever elusive author of The Catcher in the Rye has been the subject of a relentless stream of newspaper and magazine articles as well as several biographies. Yet all of these attempts have been hampered by a fundamental lack of access and by the persistent recycling of inaccurate information. Salinger remains, astonishingly, an enigma. The complex and contradictory human being behind the myth has never been revealed. No longer. In the eight years since The Private War of J.D. Salinger was begun, and especially in the three years since Salinger's death, the authors interviewed on five continents more than 200 people, many of whom had previously refused to go on the record about their relationship with Salinger. This oral biography offers direct eyewitness accounts from Salinger's World War II brothers-in-arms, his family members, his close friends, his lovers, his classmates, his neighbors, his editors, his publishers, his New Yorker colleagues, and people with whom he had relationships that were secret even to his own family. Shields and Salerno illuminate most brightly the last fifty-six years of Salinger's life: a period that, until now, had remained completely dark to biographers. Provided unprecedented access to never-before-published photographs (more than 100 throughout the book), diaries, letters, legal records, and secret documents, readers will feel they have, for the first time, gotten beyond Salinger's meticulously built-up wall. The result is the definitive portrait of one of the most fascinating figures of the twentieth century.”

    "Le peloton Charlie, envoyé en mission de paix en Afghanistan, rassemble des soldats de tous les horizons. Ils sont confrontés au danger, au désoeuvrement à l'intérieur d'une base avancée, bastion fantomatique au coeur du désert, mais aussi à eux-mêmes, à leurs craintes et à leurs interrogations. Une opération à l'extérieur de la base fait voler en éclats toutes leurs certitudes."

    "The Map and the Territory is an effort to update our forecasting conceptual grid. It integrates the history of economic prediction, the new work of behavioral economists, and the fruits of the author’s own remarkable career to offer a thrillingly lucid and empirically based grounding in what we can know about economic forecasting and what we can’t."

    "Cette fiction balaye l'histoire de la Sierra Leone, à travers les destinées de Djamil le Libanais, Kaanda la Nupe ou encore Yan le Français qui se retrouvent parfois autour des tables du Nelsons' bar de Lumley beach"

  18. Dominique de Font-Réaulx
    • Sélection non luxembourgeoise

    “This pioneering study offers detailed analysis of the impact of photographys birth on the classical art form of painting. Photography divided opinion in its early years; some saw it as an invaluable tool in the enhancement of artistic reproductions, while many believed it to be too mechanical to be associated with the grand concept of Art. Covering portraiture, landscapes, nudes, tableaux vivants, and still lifes, this richly-illustrated volume showcases some of the earliest photographic works alongside paintings that challenged, resisted, or were influenced by the emergence of photography in the first half of the nineteenth century. Author Dominique de Font-Réaulx examines the birth of photography in this period, its first forays into the public domain, and the organizations set up to preserve and defend it against a raft of criticism. The influence of figures such as Daguerre (creator of the daguerreotype, and originally a painter himself), Nièpce, and Hippolyte Bayard is charted, as the idea of accurately replicating images seen by the human eye gradually became a very real possibility. Imperfections, for so long erased by painters seeking to capture an idealized version of the body, were laid bare by an invention that captured even the minutest details. Featuring an engaging text accompanied by a rich selection of illustrations, Painting and Photography explores not only photographys fight for recognition, but its impact on painters of the day, challenging them to devise new ways of capturing the human form.”

Des récits de vie imprégnés de la tragédie arménienne mais aussi de la tragédie roumaine."
