The films on the bill: "La Gradiva", "The Island of Memories", "Mary Magdalene", "Karma"...

This week features two culturally rich films alongside delightful animated movies for school holidays. "La Gradiva" by Marine Atlan juxtaposes ancient tragedy in Pompeii with contemporary French youth. In "Marie Madeleine," Gessica Généus presents a Haitian prostitute in conflict with a fierce pastor, both directors creatively subverting conventional narratives. "La Gradiva" portrays a high school class's trip to Naples, exploring themes of adolescence through a collective lens rather than focusing on a single protagonist, capturing the vibrancy of youth.
