Laughter without borders, smiles without limits! From April 1 to May 27, the Ode to Joy film cycle invites you to dive into a jubilant panorama of European humor through six irresistible comedies.
From slapstick to biting satire, through bittersweet comedy, this cycle offers a varied and original look at our lives, oscillating between lightness and depth. Discover Chiennes de vies (Belgium), a work with an incisive tone, Wild Mouse (Austria) and its scathing humor, Il reste encore demain (Italy) with its poignant reflections, Ciao-ciao Bourbine (Switzerland) and its irresistible tenderness, the sweet carefreeness of À l’abordage (France), and finally When Will It Be Again Like It Never Was Before (Germany), tinged with amused nostalgia.
