What strange trip it "Helen" co-directed by Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor. In only 1:19, this object filmed not quite identified begins with a haunting generic cradled a soft light and quiet at idle and lascivious heady. Then, in the heart of the matter, the viewer is immersed in the unexplained disappearance of a teenage girl and the investigation that goes with it ... But now, the film does not linger there. Too easy. He prefers to take Helen, a young teenager cleared to take the place of true missing to help the rebuilding of the police drama. We therefore interfere in the maze of hints that both philosophical thriller. The filmmakers have used amateur actors in the game for a very educational film seemed to combine fiction and nonfiction. They focus on the lack of identity and what happened to the missing orphan as a gaping hole in his story that does not exist. They take their time, following the discovery of Helen in its absolute opposite to build: a beloved daughter of her parents, although in his sneakers and accompanied by a boyfriend.

From this intimacy there, they take us a little lost in planes which are inserted sequences while the voiceover, that of Helen, is for the disappeared, wonders about his own fate and its desires something else. Molloy and Lawlor engaged in a decidedly minimalist achievement despite omnipresent music, matting the corner of my eye as Gus Van Sant's "Elephant." In this sometimes awkward gait, it is enough to stay on the roadside, wedged between perplexity and trouble for this young girl in search of herself, who walks in the footsteps of misfortune in search of its rebirth. Nothing quite unhealthy in the first feature film, but this ambition just meaningful that the vacuum just waiting to be filled with humanity.

Hello, Earth?! It a return to no load to the Foodland that Coline Serreau ("Three Men and a Cradle", "Saint-Jacques ... Mecca ...") invites us into his documentary. Traveling the world (India, Africa, South America, Ukraine, France ...), the director is in fact a party to the search for these people who daily work in their small-scale agriculture that is more willing guinea pigs for laboratories, chemicals and industrial groups who sacked her last 70 years.

film clearly activist at a time when the carbon tax falls to the French to oblivion and that the Copenhagen Summit is a distant memory, "Global Solutions .... "Furrow saving and motivating to meet researchers, farmers, associations, foundations, philosophers ... They provide a serious light, playful and full sense of what could just change things: do not cheat the earth by injecting substances that pollute not only its production but that is jeopardizing the future of humanity in relation to food. Despite a statement to the apocalyptic overtones, the documentary offers a surprisingly common solutions Continent à l’autre. C’est avec l’espoir et les convictions d’une avant-garde que Coline Serreau met en scène son message : Retroussons-nous les manches, à notre niveau ! Petits champs deviendront grands… Le film essaime les bonnes volontés pour la bonne cause, mais cela suffira-t-il… Une révolte ? Non, sire, c’est une révolution (à faire).
