Good news: many viewers are finding their way back to the dark rooms, which has not been won, post-Covid. As proof, according to the CNC (National Center of Cinematography), cinema attendances increased by 37.8% compared to last year and by 2.7% compared to the 2017-2019 average.
Only in April 2023, 19.01 million viewers flocked to theaters in France. A success driven in particular by the film Super Mario Bros. which has passed the 4.8 million visitors in the span of a month. A dynamic that could continue, as regards the less welcome programming of the next few weeks. Among the upcoming releases, here are 3 that we want.
Movies we can’t wait to see in theaters this week

At the same time uplifting and touchingthus one could summarize the great escape proposed by Frank Cimiere with The marginal.

“Introduction” by Kelly Reichardt
In revealing, Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams still demonstrate the unique creative bond that has united them for more than fifteen years on screen. Nominated in competition last year, during the 75And Cannes Film Festival, the film is a hymn to art and life. He portrays LizzieMichelleWilliams, a sculptor living in Portland, without much success, who lives with her cat and works part-time at an art school. While she prepares an exhibition of her figurines in a small local gallery, she has to face daily difficulties that completely overwhelm her : his landlady who is slow to respond to his requests, his separated parents, his brother’s frailty… A human and artistic fresco in which we find, alongside Michelle Williams, Hong Chau (The whale2022) or Maryann Plunkett (The extraordinary Mr. Rogers2019).
“One Year, One Night” by Isaki Lacuesta
How to rebuild yourself when you are a victim of terrorism, but that unlike many people, we survived? This is, broadly speaking, the question asked by One year, one night, and to which the film tries to bring, if not an answer, at least a testimony. On November 13, 2015, Ramón (Nahuel Perez Biscayart, César for Best Male Newcomer) and Céline (Noémie Merlant, César for Best Supporting Actress) attended the Eagle of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan. They survive the attack, but this night will have irreversible consequences on their lives. If Céline tries to forget the night of the attack, Ramón can’t. A two-speed reconstruction in which the couple will try to find each other, so as not to get lost again.
