Poster for Blanche Gardin - Il faut que je vous parle

2020 · ★ 8.2 (10)

Blanche, the queen of stand-up comedy and political incorrectness, has something to say to you! Discovered at the Jamel Comedy Club, then on Canal+ in the series Bref and Working Girls, Blanche Gardin proves to us with this show that you can laugh until you cry about any subject, but not with just anyone! Il faut que je vous parle is a brand new show performed by the comedian in 2015 that has never been shown on TV. The reason? No footage of the show is available... To broadcast a show that was never filmed, Canal+ retrieved the existing soundtrack of the one-woman show and asked the famous illustrator Fabcaro to draw Blanche Gardin on stage, behind a microphone. An original approach that still allows viewers to enjoy the comedian's original jokes.

Poster for Olympic Women

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The documentary Olympic Women, directed by Laís Bodanzky, shows that the history of women in sport is often entwined with the history of women as a whole. While so many Brazilian women were fighting for the right to vote, to divorce, and the right to free speech, some were fighting for the right to be present at one of the biggest events on the planet: the Olympics. And something that should have been simple and natural, was not. Some Olympic appearances were dramatic. Others, isolated and lonely. Just as in society, women in sport had to earn their rights by force.
