Dead at the age of 24 after starring in only three films, James Dean remains the icon par excellence, whose influence endures 70 years after he passed away. More than just a face and an attitude, he transformed the perception of masculinity, embracing his flaws, his doubts, his fragility, his loves, forging himself into an anti-hero. His life continues to inspire, making him a timeless legend and a paragon of freedom.
Through his distinctive personality and the three films he starred in, Elia Kazan's East of Eden (1955), Nicholas Ray's Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and Georges Stevens' Giant (1956), James Dean created breaches in Hollywood rigidities, and helped reinvent masculinity in a more flexible way. His screen presence, marked by vulnerability and rebellion against classic masculine norms, introduced a less rigid male model. Dean, a modern man of many facets (he was openly bisexual), challenged conventional portrayals of manhood, becoming an icon of sensitivity and complexity. His unique contribution has had a lasting influence on the perception of masculinity, establishing a new ideal of the emotional, conflicted man, far removed from the unfailing heroes of yesterday.

From Edward Scissorhands to Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp is one of the most talented actors known for his eclectic and unconventional film choices. Discover the man behind the Hollywood icon.
Perhaps because the actor's life seems straight out of a movie where death, love, drugs, motels, palaces, Marlon Brando and Iggy Pop are all part of the ensemble. These multiple layers, sometimes contradictory, are found in his most iconic interpretations: often poetic and always offbeat anti-heroes: genuine American anomalies.

The rise and fall story of a troubling and fragile actor who would eventually get recognition for his talent. The case of Mickey Rourke is a real turning point in the way men have portrayed themselves in American cinema.
How did Mickey Rourke, a beloved actor of the 80's who played the motorcycle boy in Rumble Fish, the crusading cop in Year of the Dragon and the cursed investigator in Angel Heart, turned so quickly into the ultimate persona non grata, a sad, tabloid-accustomed bad boy, a failed boxer and a living illustration of the excesses of plastic surgery? This film offers, beyond the classic story of a fall and a possible redemption, to draw the complex portrait of a fallen sex symbol who became an icon of trash by the force of representation of the Hollywood system.

Two times winner of the Palme d'Or, Ken Loach is one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers. This documentary shows in a punk and rebellious tone how Loach uses cinema as a political tool that allows to advocate for the advent of a more just society, by raising viewers' awareness.
Thanks to an exclusive and exceptional access to all the director's professional and personal archives, this documentary deciphers his work and the Ken Loach method: to make cinema a political weapon thanks to realistic films that move people. As a humanist, Ken Loach never stopped fighting against the implementation of neoliberalism at the end of the 70s with Margaret Thatcher coming to power in Great Britain. This apostle of subversion has twice won the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his films The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) and I, Daniel Blake (2016). Now 86 years old, the tireless Ken Loach enters the production of his new feature film, The Old Oak, scheduled for release in 2023.

Takeshi Kitano is an international icon. We know the actor, the multi-award-winning filmmaker, but many ignore his split personality: the crazy TV star, the street kid from Tokyo close to the Yakuza, and the political satirist who blasted taboos!
Can we dream of a better guide to introduce us to the cultural history of Japan?

Rosa Bonheur, the animal painter adulated in France in the XIXth century, often forgotten in her country, is nevertheless a major figure of women's emancipation and of the animal cause.
Rosa Bonheur was a major figure of female emancipation: she was the first woman artist to receive the Legion of Honour, from the hands of another woman, the Empress Eugenie, who said on this occasion: “Genius has no sex”. She was also the first woman officially authorized to wear pants; the first to buy property with the fruit of her labor, thanks to the sale of a single painting; she settled in this property with several friends: living between women, sharing their fortunes between them, becoming heirs of each other, they founded a sisterhood that would leave a lasting impression on the French society of the time.

Quentin Tarantino is one of the most influential and original filmmakers in contemporary cinema. Both a critically acclaimed auteur and a cult figure of global pop culture, his filmography weaves a grand American narrative nourished by well-hidden biographical references and echoes of the Great American History.
"All of my movies are personal. Excruciatingly personal." Quentin Tarantino’s work is a maze. In his films, he tells nothing more than the story of his own life, a life that was never extraordinary, a life in which he was not born an artist but became one. This film takes us back to the origins of his influences, into the heart of the LA area, in the city of Torrance, California, to retrace the journey of this self-taught filmmaker who has become a key figure, a star of international cinema.

She is the most idolized and awarded country artist of all time. She has written over 1000 songs and sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
How did Dolly Parton, with her disconcerting looks, who was long seen as the caricature of a country music that was itself often despised and considered a reactionary symbol of bad taste, become, beyond genres, generations and political parties, the last unifying figure of American culture, in a country that has never been so un-united?

With her funny face, Shirley MacLaine is one of Hollywood's most atypical stars. Endowed with a passionate personality and strong discipline, she has never ceased to reinvent herself, from the girl next door to the eccentric old lady she still plays on screen today, showing at nearly 90 years old, that there is still plenty of room in the Hollywood industry for actresses her age.
Neither a classic beauty like Elizabeth Taylor, nor a sex symbol like Marilyn Monroe, it is Shirley MacLaine's apparent simplicity, combined with her boundless energy, strong discipline and personality, that have helped build her a long-lasting success. This success, which has lasted for almost 70 years, is unique among actresses of her generation. A devotee of New Age spirituality, she has never ceased to reinvent herself in successive incarnations, from a tomboy to an eccentric old lady. At a time when women’s place on screen is more and more addressed, especially when they’re over 50, Shirley MacLaine's career offers an inspiring and hopeful example of what the actress has embodied throughout her filmography.

Glenn Close, who is famous for her roles as iconic atypical women such as Cruella in 101 Dalmatians, is an active feminist. She inspires both through her performances and her convictions, prompting us to reflect on the role of women in cinema and society.
Here is the portrait of a woman who embodies neither Hollywood's beauty standards nor its sugar-coated immaculateness. It is the portrait of an actress who plays women fighting for equality, both in their vulnerability and in their ability to rise again. What personal experiences has this woman gone through to bring such authenticity to the screen? How does the actress who, as she puts it, is “made of bits and pieces” draw her strength from her unique capacity for transformation? How does she manage to combine creation and conviction? How does she manage to speak to all generations of women, from my own, born at the end of the last century, all the way to the #MeToo generation?
