For its fourth edition, the Z’allucinés festival takes you to New York, a city of contrasts, dreams and struggles.
Through four emblematic films, explore the Big Apple in all its diversity:
Intimate and melancholy in Chantal Akerman’s “News from Home”, released in 1977
In this contemplative epistolary film, Chantal Akerman combines her mother’s letters with haunting images of New York shot on 16mm film. An intimate, distant look at exile, solitude and the city.
Tense and feverish in Sidney Lumet’s “A Dog’s Afternoon”, released in 1975
Inspired by a true story, this breathless thriller follows a bank robbery that turns into chaos. Al Pacino delivers a masterful performance in this edgy, social portrait of 1970s New York.
Romantic and offbeat in Woody Allen’s “Rainy Day in New York”, released in 2019
Two young students arrive in Manhattan for a weekend in the rain. Between romantic misunderstandings and hushed atmospheres, Woody Allen has created a light-hearted comedy nostalgic for the city he loves so much.
Erudite and committed in “Ex Libris” by Frederick Wiseman, released in 2017
This immersive documentary opens the doors of one of the world’s greatest libraries. A fascinating exploration of culture, knowledge and access to knowledge.
