Asian crime films, the must-haves, from February 11 to March 1er, 2026
Long confined to the back rooms of video stores, Asian crime thrillers experienced sudden fame in the mid-90s, particularly when the combined efforts of Cahiers du cinéma, then Starfix or HK Vidéo enthusiasts finally put the names of Ringo Lam, Takeshi Kitano and Tsui Hark in the spotlight. The international release of The Killer finally established John Woo, Chow Yun-fat and their fury in the collective imagination - no Reservoir Dogs without City on Fire. Since then, Johnny To's stylized arabesques and Park Chan-wook and Na Hong-jin's ultraviolent swerves have been honored at festivals, and in a retrospective at the Cinémathèque with a selection of must-sees.
Márta Mészáros, from January 28 to February 15, 2026
First female filmmaker to win the Grand Prix at Cannes in 1984 (Journal intime), but also Golden Bear at Berlin nine years earlier (Adoption), Márta Mészáros traces, from her documentary beginnings to her most recent films, the same resolutely feminist furrow. Surrounded by Isabelle Huppert, Anna Karina and Delphine Seyrig, as well as the crème de la crème of Hungarian actresses, for no less than 70 years she has chronicled freedom, solidarity and sisterhood as the only bulwarks against the brutality of History. A major rediscovery, as she celebrates her 94th birthday.
Oleksandr Dovjenko, January 21-30, 2026
Oleksandr Dovjenko is the first great figure of Ukrainian cinema. Lyrical, exalted, his cinema - including the marvelous Ukrainian trilogy, The Earth, Arsenal and Zvenygora - celebrates nature, the seasons, life and death, the perpetual cycle of man and earth. Tossed about by the upheavals of history, Dovjenko, banished from Soviet cinema by Stalin, "didn't reproduce reality, he said it. His cinema was the instrument of an unexpected resurrection: that of the literary, traditional, legendary epic". (Barthélemy Amengual)
As part of these retrospectives, the following screenings are €1 for under-26s:
- Session presented by Anna Onufriienko. Musical accompaniment by Nova Materia : Arsenal by Oleksandr Dovjenko, January 25 at 4:30pm
