The Brand New Testament
 (Le Tout nouveau testament)
 
The movie begins with one simple conceit : God exists and he his a jerk. He lives in a high-rise apartment in Brussels and never gets out of his pajamas. He is a petty tyrant to his wife and ten-year old daughter.
Ea has had enough of her father's abuse, she hacks into his computer and leaks to the entire world by text message the only thing he has over them:
their inevitable death date.
The movie provides us with Jaco Van Domael's dark, witty and eccentric answer to the loaded question : What would you do if you knew exactly how much time you had to live?

CINÉ-CLUB
The Innocents (Les innocentes)
 
Most of Anne Fontaine's blistering film the Innocents is set within the walls of a Polish convent in December 1945, just after the end of World War II. What at first appears to a an austere, holy retreat from surrounding horrors is revealed to be a savagely violated sanctuary awash in fear, trauma and shame.
