Love Meetings (Comizi d’amore) est un documentaire de 1964 réalisé par Pier Paolo Pasolini. Il explore les attitudes des Italiens à l’égard de l’amour, du sexe, du mariage et de la morale à travers des entretiens spontanés menés dans la rue à travers tout le pays. Mêlant curiosité et provocation, Pasolini dresse un portrait révélateur des normes sociales et des tabous dans l’Italie d’après-guerre. 🗓️ LUNDI 20 AVRIL de 19H à 21H30 📍 58 rue Richer 75009 Paris 🔴 entrée = 1 boisson 🌐 visitez www.thedissidentclub.org pour plus d’informations

Ils vivent là-haut, dans le blanc des nuages de la Sierra Nevada. On les appelle les Frères Aînés. Ils semblent bien pauvres vêtus de vêtements blancs mais ils ont des yeux qui savent encore briller. Ils ont encore les mots pour parler aux rivières, aux arbres, aux montagnes. Pendant que le monde court après le toujours plus, eux veillent à ce qui est fragile, préservent l’équilibre du monde par une attention constante et silencieuse. Cette rencontre avec Marie-Hélène Strauss, n’est pas un exposé ethnographique : elle est une invitation à réfléchir à notre rôle, à notre capacité à devenir passeurs de sens, à accueillir ce qui compte vraiment et à apprendre à habiter le monde avec profondeur, courage et mesure. Il y a quinze ans, Marie-Hélène Straus s'est assise pour la première fois à l'école des Kogis. De cette longue amitié est né un livre, Le choix du vivant, témoignage qu’il existe d’autres manières d’entrer en relation avec l’Homme et la Nature. **Date et lieu** 📅 Date : Jeudi 23 avril à 20h 📍Lieu : Espace Le Moulin, 48 rue du fer à Moulin 75005 Paris 🎟️ Tarif : 10€ tarif unique

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL!

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff.

"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery.

When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film.
