Special Screening: 100 years of Mel Brooks!

Booking Required

Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein is a jubilant parody of classic horror cinema directed with affectionate absurdity and kinetic visual gags. Framed as an homage to Universal monster films, the film blends slapstick, sharp dialogue and expressive cinematography to riff on identity, legacy and the grotesque. Centered on an awkward heir and his creations, it balances reverence and irreverence, using exaggerated performance and playful pacing to deliver warm, anarchic comedy rooted in cinematic pastiche.

Special Screening: Blind Test and Le Lauréat

Independent Cinema

Cinéma Bio

Mike Nichols’ The Graduate is a sharp, satirical drama that captured the unease of 1960s America. Combining ironic wit, precise editing and an evocative Simon & Garfunkel-infused score, the film follows a young man’s disillusionment after college as he navigates desire, moral ambiguity and generational conflict. Subtle performances and Nichols’ crisp direction create a melancholic, comic tone that explores alienation, identity and the complicated rites of adulthood without revealing its twists.

In French.

Preview screening: L’Inconnue

Independent Cinema

Les Cinémas du Grütli

Arthur Harari’s intimate drama follows David Zimmerman, a reclusive photographer whose life is unsettled when he fixates on a stranger at a party and wakes up in her body. Harari deploys restrained framing, naturalistic performances and a cool, precise visual palette to explore identity, desire and the disquiet of inhabiting another self. Tautly paced and atmospheric, the film balances psychological tension with moments of quiet humanity, inviting reflection rather than giving easy answers.

In French. In the presence of director Arthur Harari.
