Jean-Marc Barr and Barbara Sukowa in Europa (Lars von Trier, 1991)
Cast: Jean-Marc Barr, Barbara Sukowa, Udo Kier, Ernst-Hugo Järegård, Erik Mørk, Jørgen Reenberg, Henning Jensen, Eddie Constantine, Max von Sydow. Screenplay: Lars von Trier, Niels Vørsel. Cinematography: Henning Bendtsen, Edward Klosinski, Jean-Paul Meurisse. Production design: Henning Bahs, Andrzej Borecki. Film editing: Hervé Schneid. Music: Joachim Holbek.  We're accustomed to movies, usually blockbuster action films, in which the feats of filmmaking technology are more impressive than the narrative or characterization, but it's startling to find that kind of disjunction in a supposedly serious art-house film. That's what happens in Lars von Trier's Europa*, however. The film's visual tricks -- front and rear projection, double exposures, juxtapositions of black-and-white and color -- linger in the mind longer than any of the characters or the story. At base, Europa is a thriller, set in Germany in 1945, about an idealistic young American, Leopold Kessler (Jean-Marc Barr), whose German uncle (Ernst-Hugo Järegård) gets him a job as an apprentice conductor on the Zentropa railway line. Leo is an idealist and a pacifist (the film is rather vague about what he did during the war) who wants to help Germany recover, but this only makes him putty in the hands of various opportunists, from the American military to the railway owners to an underground group of die-hard Nazis known as "werewolves." Things grow more complicated for Leo when he falls in love with Katharina Hartmann (Barbara Sukowa), whose father, Max (Jørgen Reenberg), owns Zentropa and is undergoing scrutiny in the "denazification" efforts by the occupying Allied forces. This is standard, even promising, thriller material, and to a large extent von Trier and co-screenwriter Niels Vørsel deliver on its premises. There are moments of suspense and surprise -- especially the assassination of a newly appointed Jewish mayor by a young boy planted on the train by the werewolves -- that would do any thriller writer and director proud. And it has to be said that the general atmosphere of the film, a lingering sinister darkness and chill, is effectively produced. But the tarting up of the story with gimmicks takes me out of the narrative and into a concentration on the effects. For example, there's a scene in which Katharina, in monochrome, is standing behind Leo, who is in color, until she walks out of the frame and re-enters next to him, both now in color. Then Leo leaves the frame and re-enters, now in monochrome, behind her. I know how it's done -- rear projection and careful storyboarding -- but I remember the effect, and not anything that was said by the characters while the trick was taking place. Something of the same could be said about the frame in which von Trier sets his story: The film begins with a shot of railway tracks lighted by a moving train and the voice (Max von Sydow's calm baritone) of a man hypnotizing someone: "You will now listen to my voice. My voice will help you and guide you still deeper into Europa...." The voice recurs throughout the film until it's clear that the "you" is Leo. As for the "Europa" into which Leo is being guided, von Trier has explained that he had Franz Kafka's satirical fantasy Amerika in mind while making the film. The framing, I think, freights the story with more significance than anything that actually appears in the film. Von Trier has said that Europa is something like "Hitchcock in a Tarkovsky setting," which is nothing if not overreaching. *Europa was released in the United States in 1992 under the title Zentropa to avoid confusion with Agnieszka Holland's Europa Europa, which had been released in 1991 in America. Von Trier also named his production company Zentropa, which is the name of the railway company in his film.

Pour la première fois dans l'histoire de la franchise, Rogen a révélé que les quatre tortues seront exprimées par de vrais adolescents, plutôt par opposition à des acteurs adultes, afin de conserver l'authenticité de l'élément adolescent dans le film. Les autres personnages ados par contre, comme : Lori, Jean, Bobby ou Wendy seront toujours doublé par des Adultes

Un jour, alors qu'il est poursuivit par des agresseurs, il à était sauvé par quatre tortues géante qui parles et qu'ils peuvent faire du ninjutsu.

IL PLEUVAIT DES OISEAUX en tête des nominations du Gala Québec Cinéma 2020
Tumblr media
En direct du salon de Guillaume Lambert, les nominations du Gala Québec Cinéma (qui ne fera pas l’objet d’un rassemblement télévisuel cette année, confinement oblige) ont été dévoilées cet après-midi.
En cette année dominée par les réalisatrices, 6 des meilleurs films sont réalisés par des femmes et 3 femmes sont en lice pour l’Iris de la Meilleure réalisation.
On parle bien sûr d’Antigone de Sophie Deraspe (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), La femme de mon frère de Monia Chokri  (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation), Kuessipan de Myriam Verreault (Meilleur film, Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), Jeune Juliette d’Anne Émond (Meilleur film, Meilleur scénario), Il pleuvait des oiseaux  et Louise Archambault (Meilleur film, Meilleur scénario, et 13 nominations au total, le record cette année), et du plus inattendu Fabuleuses de Mélanie Charbonneau (Meilleur film).
Ces films réalisés par des femmes sont rejoints dans les catégories de pointe par les « films de gars » Mafia Inc de Podz (Meilleur film), Sympathie pour le diable de Guillaume de Fontenay (Meilleure réalisation, Meilleur scénario), et  Le vingtième siècle de Matthew Rankin  (Meilleur premier film, Meilleure réalisation).
Un grand oublié : Xavier Dolan, qui a lancé deux longs métrages l’an dernier. On ne s’attendait pas à un couronnement du mal-aimé The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, mais l’excellent Matthias & Maxime aurait mérité plus d’honneurs. Il est quand même en nomination dans les catégories Meilleure interprétation féminine dans un rôle de soutien (Micheline Bernard), Meilleure interprétation masculine dans un rôle de soutien (Pier-Luc Funk), Meilleure direction de la photographie (André Turpin), Meilleur montage (Xavier Dolan), Meilleure musique originale (Jean-Michel Blais) et Meilleur maquillage (Erik Gosselin, Edwina Voda).
Du côté des interprètes, je suis soulagé que mon long métrage québécois préféré depuis longtemps, Le rire de Martin Laroche, ait été au moins reconnu pour les brillantes performances de Léane Labrèche-Dor (Premier rôle féminin) et Micheline Lanctôt (Rôle de soutien féminin).
Il faut aussi souligner les deux nominations comme acteur de Robin Aubert, pour Jeune Juliette (Premier rôle masculin) et Merci pour tout (Rôle de soutien masculin).
Et une pensée pour Andrée Lachapelle, qui nous a quittés récemment, nommée comme Meilleure actrice pour Il pleuvait des oiseaux.
Parlant d’Il pleuvait des oiseaux , félicitations à Will Driving West, un de mes groupes préférés, parmi les finalistes de la catégorie Meilleure musique originale. 
Aussi, je suis très heureux pour l’extraordinaire Je finirai en prison d’Alexandre Dostie, en nomination pour l’Iris du meilleur court métrage.

Spacewalk (a Ninjago Fan-Season)
Episode 5: The Blue Mother
It was morning and Niel was harshly woken up by a sudden sound of a gong. Or more like the cymbals of a drum. Niel shot up and walked towards the sound that came from the halls with curiosity. He saw Master Wu holding a small gong and banging it loudly while shouting, "Evil doesn't sleep and neither should you!" Niel chuckled at how none of the ninja had woken up so he took the opportunity to be a good pupil and presented himself infrmt of the master. Sensei Wu stopped for a second and smiled, he was quite pleased, "Ahh, good morning, Niel! This alarm wasn't intended for you, however," he only nodded and grinned, "I know! But, I'm taking this opportunity to be responsible and showing you what a good pupil I can be!" The master chuckled and lowered his arms and placed the gong on the floor, "Very well." The other ninja groggily caught up to Niel and greeted the master with a big bow. Everyone's hair was a mess, including Niel who supposedly slept like a baby. Kai side-eyed Niel before noticing him staring at him and covered up his messy with his hood and pulling on its strings until al that was visible was the tip of his nose. He shouted but it came out in a muffle, "No mortal being shall see me in such a miserable state!" Niel giggled softly before turning his attention back to Master Wu, "Morning routine, as per usual but this time," he pulled Niel to the side of him by his arm, "You ninja will mentor Niel, like you did with Lloyd," the green ninja shot up slightly at the mention of his name. He looked back and forth over everyone before understanding the situation, "Oh! Okay-- y-yeah, we can do that!" Nya shook her head and chuckled at his antics.
Niel turned to the master before tilting his head, "I do want to know. What are the daily tasks for the ninja every day? Does it depend on crime or..." Master Wu hummed before smiling cheekily and responding, "Well, we have a routine for the morning. We start with..." He paused and clapped to cue for the next scene for the training montage. "Stretching Session!" The ninja were held in the most extreme form of Mountain stretching Niel had ever scene. This was the last of the torturous stretches he endured during the past thirty minutes. Cole, Zane and Niel could barely keep thselves together while Nya, Jay and Kai looked like models doing it. Niel held his breath, occasionally letting it go and panting while relaxing his muscles before Master Wu reminded him to return to the clenched position. The red ninja scoffed at the struggling team and snarked, "C'mon! We've been doing this everyday, aren't you guys at least a little used to it?" Zane glared at him before angrily mentioning his nindroid mobility, "Unfortunately, my bionic parts were not suited to stretch like this constantly." Cole kept his eyes shut, focusing his strength only to last as long as he could so Master Wu doesn't give him a punishment, "Yeah... Kai-- Lay o-off!" He was already struggling to stay still but still had the strength to defend himself, even is sounding pathetic in the process. "No? We've been together for years, you guys! Like, C'mon!" He paused, "Except Niel, he gets a pass," he smiled at the struggling trainee and gave him a thumbs up. Niel gasped in shock at how he could even possibly do a thumbs up in that back breaking position. He took the mountain stretch to the extreme and had his head all the way between his legs and his chest practically on the floor. Before Niel could even say anything, Master Wu announced it was time for the next excercise.
"Stamina Training!" Everyone was placed on treadmills, probably set to the highest possible speed before combustion. Cole, Kai and Lloyd had no trouble keeping up with the speed. Jay especially was stellar, not needing a single second to stop and breathe for a single second, his hand didn't even touch the handle bars that were in place to keep people like Niel grounded. The trainee eventually let loose and hopped off before possibly falling backwards and breaking a bone. Kai stopped too and walked over to him, he sat on the floor, his breaths heavy and what could barely be considered breathing. He smiled and patted his back, "Don't worry, you'll keep up! It was set to the lowest 'Acceptable ninja speed settings'," He encouraged him as he watch Niel look really worried and disappointed in himself, "Acceptable? What even is the bar for that?" The red ninja took a big sip of his bottle before staring back with a gentle and relaxed smile, "Thirty Kilometres per hour." He wiped his mouth and offered Niel some for himself. Niel hastily took it and drank some before spitting it out in shock and making disgusted noises, "Aughh! What even is that!?" "Kai Juice," Cole replied while stepping off his treadmill. Niel stared back with a grinched up face before doing a double take on that statement. Cole understood the very inappropriate implications and explained further, "I-it's coffee mixed with energy drinks, sugar aaaaaand a hint of Master Wu's explosivi-tea." Niel dry heaved at the revelation as Master Wu announced the next routine.
"Hygiene and Self-Care!" Jay pounded at the bathroom door before shouting out, "Kaiiiii! You've been in there for thirty minutes! What's taking you so long?" He whined. Some shuffling noises were heard from inside before he poked his soaking head out, the spikes in his hair already present, "I have a very meticulous self-care routine so unless you're ugly, you should understand the efforts I do to keep myself presentable." He shut the door again as the water ran again. Cole walked up to the door before clicking his tongue in annoyance and barging in without warning. Niel just watched with Lloyd the whole situation go down. They could hear Kai screaming in shock before the scolding. Then he stopped and stuttered out a few shouts of protest, something along the lines of Cole invading his privacy. Then, the water ran again. Nya came up to behind the line and explained to Niel, "This happens everytime it's Kai's turn. Same story, different day."
-------
Everything was done and the ninja head to the basement where PIXAL, Zane and Master Wu was already there. The monitors showed spots of crime activity throughout the city and it was going to be time for which team gets to choose what. There were three currently: one downtown with just some hooligans terrorising the citizens with knives, a problem between a serpentine being discriminated by a store clerk and the Mechanic being an absolute menace in a clothing factory. The ninja didn't stop arguing over who takes what until they realized Niel was there and had to tag along as they were mentors and had to keep an eye on him. They all glanced at each other before nodding and Nya asked him, "Okay, Niel. Who do you want to go with?" The trainee thought before asking who was taking what job. Cole grunted, "That's why we need you to choose who you want to go with. That ninja will be taking an easier and lighter job so you're not totally in danger," he explained. Niel groaned and crossed his arms, "Seriously? I'm going with whoever doing's the hooligans. I like beating up bullies." Cole's eyes lit up. He liked Niel's train of thought, especially after the promise he made his mother. The earth ninja had his hands on his shoulders and shaking him left and right a tiny bit out of excitement, "I call dibs on Niel!" Lloyd nodded and took the leader stance and began giving orders, "Okay, then that's settled. Kai, Nya, take the store clerk. Zane, Jay, take the mechanic. Cole, Niel and I will take those hooligans." Kai moved forward in protest, "Oh wait, hold on! Why do WE get the boring job?" Zane held his shoulder and spoke seriously with him, "Kai, the last time you faced the mechanic, you nearly burned down an orphanage." "Oh, come on! That was a mistake! Jay was there, it could've been him!"
After Nya put her brother in place, the discussion was over and she dragged him to their shared car and left for the scene. Zane and Jay hurried off in their road-rider and jet respectively while Cole, Lloyd and Niel stayed a little to discuss who Niel would ride along with. After the traumatic experience with the car, Niel took the decision to just tag along with the green ninja instead. Master Wu waved goodbye for them to leave but not before he told Niel he had something for him. Niel turned back to him and asked him, "Oh? What is it, master?" The Sensei pulled out a cloth from behind him, a ninja mask that had a mint colour that matched with his hoodie, "Put this on. You're one of us now." Niel took it gratefully and examined it. He pulled it over his head, adjusting it under the rim of his glasses before gasping and feeling it on his face, "This fits like magic! Thank you, master!" He bowed before running off and catching up with Lloyd who was already on his speeder. He hopped on and held tight to the green ninja as they sped off to the scene downtown.
Lloyd and Niel were there first and Cole was lagging behind due to the sheer size of his car. The green ninja hopped off but Niel was told to stay back and just sit on his bike. He moved forward and tool hold of the steering wheel, in case he needed a quick get away. Cole and Lloyd approached the hooligans and shouted out their team catchphrase, "Not so fast!" The trainee muttered under his breath a sarcastic, "Really?" But, of course, Lloyd overheard and shrugged, "Yeah, I don't know who made it official, but it is!" Cole drew out his hammer and chuckled, "Lloyd it was you!" "What? Nooo!" The four thugs turned towards them with their knives in hand, they were in the middle of trying to rob an old lady. They charged at them and Lloyd and Cole did as well. It was just measly hand-to-hand, so of course Lloyd and Cole took them down in no time. Not until one of them whistles loudly and called for back up. A few moments later, five more bikes and thugs showed up and surrounded the three ninja. Niel was already freaking out a bit, none of them expected this at all.
One of the thugs picked Niel up by the collar and threatened to beat him up if they don't leave, "I-I... Uhh... It's my first day actually! I'm just tagging alo--" "Zip it!" The now mint ninja was cut off mid-sentence. He thought his rambling might've worked. Lloyd was too distracted with getting tackled to other thugs and Cole was busy trying to get three small ones off his back. Niel was at a loss as the person holding him was much bigger and stronger. Until, for some reason, he looked up. He squinted his eyes to look for that comet and sure enough, there it was. A small blue tint in the sky, barely visible. By some instinct, he focused on it. He stared and thought hard at what he wanted the thug to do. Like magic, the thug's grip loosened and he was able to drop on to the ground on his feet. Niel kicked him in the shins and knocked him down. Cole had thrown off the three he was fighting against the pavement and promptly knocked them out and Lloyd had already tied up the other two. They returned to Niel on the ground, in front of the fallen criminal and saw that he was unharmed. Lloyd ran up to him, "Niel! Are you oka--" he stopped mid-sentence when he noticed him being awfully quiet.
He moved to the front of him and saw his eyes glow purple and he was still. Cole was about to approach him but suddenly, Niel grabbed Lloyd by the shoulders and threw him hard against a brick wall. He hit his head and was knocked out cold from Niel's sheer strength. Cole exclaimed, "What!? Why'd you do--" he was cut off with the mint ninja giving him a good punch in the nose. He was thrown back a bit by it and held his nose that slowly trickled out blood. He saw the blood drip onto his hand and wiped it to the side. He threw away his weapon and clenched his fist, "Alright, I'm just gonna hold him off until it wears off. Don't hurt him," Cole reminded himself. Niel marched to him, a demented look in his eyes. That eerie purple glow was just unnerving to see again. Niel threw a good pucnh at him but he blocked. The mint ninja kept going hard on him but he endured. Kai and Nya arrived on the scene. The red ninja took a minute to process what was going on before leaping into action and defending his teammate. He was about to kick the attacker from behind when he noticed the hood, "Niel!?" He exclaimed in surprise. Niel turned his head around and stared at him. That wasn't Niel. Kai was stuck in place, as if he were some sort of spell. Niel approached him slowly, his footsteps became heavier and heavier and a raspy breath came out of him.
Kai shut his eyes, unable to do anything else until the trainee collapsed on to the ground and Kai took a step back, broken from that spell. His body rolled onto the ground and stayed still for awhile before Niel's eyes shot open and he gasped. He jumped up and sat up quickly, gasping for air and frantically looked at his surroundings, "What happened!?" The glow was gone and his eyes remained the deep purple they were used to. Nya ran up to him and held him by his shoulder, "Niel! Are you alright?" The mint ninja rubbed his head little, trying to snap himself out of the corruption then he remembered, "Lloyd!" He lept to his feet and ran towards the unconscious green ninja. He was about to reach out and shake him awake when Kai intervened and drew his sword and pointed it at Niel, "Nobody hurts the green ninja," he grumbled. Now, he just felt awful. He was new and caused so much more trouble for them. He hurt the Green ninja himself and beat up the leader of the team with his own fists. He was about to turn around and leave in shame when Nya placed her hand on Kai's sword arm and pushed it down slightly, "No, Kai. It's the corruption. He can't control it." They were silent before Cole came up to the group and said, "We need to find a solution to this problem. One way or another."
Lloyd stumbled on his feet as he groaned, the pain in his head was still strong. He blinked his eyes a few times before screaming out in fear at Niel. They all were a bit stratled, "Lloyd! You're okay!" Niel exclaimed in happiness, "Barely. You threw me against a wall!" Kai glared at him before the mint ninja tried to defend himself with an excuse. It all proved to be fruitless when he assessed the situation himself. Cole helped Lloyd up by his hand as the green ninja continued, "I knew you should've just gone home instead of joining us. Why did I ever trust you?" Cole looked at the two, Niel looking really sorry and Lloyd looking pretty bruised up and furious, "No. This isn't his fault. This corruption he's in is the reason for everything that's happening, so we either help him or more people gets hurt." Kai grumbled before pulling off his mask, "Fine, let's take him to Master Wu. Where did he say he was going to again?" "Library of Domu. It's pretty far..." Lloyd replied before taking off his own mask and calling for the others over their headsets, "Zane, Jay. Are you there?" From their end, Lloyd could hear Jay screaming in anger as Zane tried to talk calmly, "He got away. Why? Do you need us?" "No but it's just--"
Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard from the sky. A big boom that echoed like a nuclear bomb was set off far away in space. The ninja looked up towards the noise before Kai noticed something bright in the sky, "What is that?" He pointed at the blue glint that seemed to be getting bigger in the sky, "I don't know but we should look at it through a telescope. It seemed to be far off in space." Cole and everyone else pull on their masks before hopping onto their vehicles, "Zane, Jay and everyone to the Bounty!" Lloyd communicated and they sped off.
--------
"Nya, what do you see?" Lloyd asked the water ninja at the big telescope on the bounty. She quinted her eyes, still unable to properly recognize it, "I don't know... It looks like a big meteor or or... Some sort of comet. It's blue, that's for sure," she passed it on to Zane. Maybe a nindroid has better chances of analyzing it. Zane's eyes popped up when he was able to find this exact comet in his database, "You're right, Nya. It is a comet," he zoomed in even more and hooked it up to the big monitor on the bounty as he stood in front of it. "It is about five hundred kilometres across, travelling about four hundred thirteen kilometres per hour and was said to have almost hit earth a few years ago." He pressed a few buttons, pulling up some article from a few years ago about the same galactic entity, "Scientist named it "The Blue Mother" after estimating that it would've hit earth and destroyed it. It flew past and left the solar system." He stopped talking, turning him towards his friends and explaining again with a bit of a worried tone, "They said it would've never returned but it seemed to have came back and I estimate it would not miss this time." The ninja all gasped at the discovery. Lloyd asked, "In how many days will it arrive?" "By estimation... Twenty eight days." Niel stepped up before pointing at the screen, "That's the comet that talked to me in my dream! I remember," Jay groaned loudly, "Now is not the time to talk about your prophetic dreams! It's time to warn people in Ninjago!" Cole held his friends back before telling him lolwy, "Let him finish Jay. Maybe it's a clue to how to stop it," he looked back to Niel who then continud with his story, "In my dream, it told me it was my mother and it gave life to me. I was one among many apparently, and I heard it say to me last night 'I'm coming for you'."
Jay was very clearly creeped out and said again, "Niel, this comet is hurling towards earth and you telling us it's coming for you specifically is NOT HELPFUL! You're ON earth! It's gonna kill us ALL!" Jay screamed in horror as he slowly lost his marbles. Nya had an unimpressed look on her face and replied to him, "Jay, screaming isn't going to solve the problem..." He inhaled then exhaled, trying to calm himself down, "Okay, what should we do?" Kai gathered everyone and said, "First, we need to find Master Wu and tell him about all of this. Then, we look for a way to stop it. To the library of Domu!"
Master Wu had just finished reading the last scroll. He was getting more anxious. He had been sitting there for days, drinking hundreds of cups of tea yet he couldn't bring anything to the table. He was just about to look for another way until he noticed a bunch of people gathered around a big open window. They were mumbling among themselves at something in the sky. Curious, he followed and looked from a different window and that's when he saw it; a blue glint in the sky, almost outshining the sun itself. That's when memories flooded. "The Blue Mother..." He rushed back to his scroll and looked for a part which mentioned this comet. He read under his breath, "It will search for it's child, the current Elemental Master of Stars and will not stop until it found it's child or is destroyed by it's own kin." He kept reading some more. He had never heard of this elemental master before, the information on The Blue Mother so far had been from a more scientific view. He moved to the section of the scrolls that had information on the Elemental Master of Stars and read again, "The power of this element has the ability to move stars and comets at will. Though not strong enough to move it by a wide distance, it can very much change the condition of anything the elemental master associates with the star or comet." He breathed in and out. The chance of finding this elemental master is hardly possible but he will not quit until the Blue Mother ceases.

Niels Arestrup and André Dussollier in Diplomacy (Volker Schlöndorff, 2014)
Cast: André Dussollier, Niels Arestrup, Burghart Klaußner, Robert Stadlober, Charlie Nelson, Jean-Marc Roulot, Stefan Wilkening, Thomas Arnold. Screenplay: Cyril Gely, Volker Schlöndorff, based on a play by Gely. Cinematography: Michel Amathieu. Production design: Jacques Rouxel. Film editing: Virginie Bruant. Music: Jörg Lemberg. 
The enormity of some crimes against humanity so swamps the imagination that it's often more effective to try to comprehend their analogs: crimes against art. The Taliban received perhaps as much international condemnation for its destruction of the Buddhist statues of Bamiyan as for any of its murderous repression of human beings. And Hitler's threat to destroy the city of Paris rather than let it fall into the hands of the liberating Allies stands as a kind of symbol of the deep-rooted evil that manifested itself in the Holocaust. It inspired the 1966 film Is Paris Burning? (René Clement), which had an all-star international cast, but Volker Schlöndorff's Diplomacy tells the same story more compactly and effectively. It also does it without relying on star-power: Few Americans will be familiar with the work of the two French actors, André Dussollier and Niels Arestrup, who face off in the film. Arestrup plays General von Choltitz, the commander of German troops in Paris who was tasked with carrying out Hitler's orders to obliterate such monuments as Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower, and to blow up the bridges on the Seine, damming the river and flooding the crowded low-lying areas of the city. The film opens with Choltitz and his officers reviewing the plans for the city's destruction in his suite at the Hotel Meurice. After the officers leave, there is a blackout caused by the shelling of the power plants by the approaching Allies, and when the lights come up again, Choltitz discovers that he is not alone: The Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling (Dussollier) has somehow appeared in his room. Nordling, it turns out, has used a secret passage into the hotel that was built for Napoleon III to make clandestine visits to his mistress. He has also witnessed the plans for the obliteration of a city he loves, and has come to persuade Choltitz to defy the Führer. The touch of melodrama in this "theatrical" entrance betrays Diplomacy's origins in a play by Cyril Gely, who collaborated with Schlöndorff on the screenplay. What ensues is a dialogue-heavy debate, somewhat "opened up" with scenes of German soldiers preparing the explosives and battling with the French resistance. We know Paris survives, but Schlöndorff and his two lead actors manage to create suspense through the give-and-take of their debate, during which we learn that Choltitz's family is under threat of death if he refuses Hitler's orders. Diplomacy suffers only a little from its touches of staginess, thanks to intelligent dialogue and performances.

Memo Bank wasn’t always called Memo Bank. It originally started as Margo Bank and it has been flying under the radar for a few years. The French startup is now about to launch publicly and shared more details about what it is building.
As the name suggests, Memo Bank is a bank. It plans to server business customers exclusively and it targets small and medium companies that generate over €2 million in annual turnover and have more than 10 employees.
Jean-Daniel Guyot, the co-founder and CEO of Memo Bank, previously founded Capitaine Train, which later became Captain Train, which later was acquired by Trainline. Capitaine Train disrupted online train ticket sales in France as the national railway company basically had a monopoly.
When you’re creating a bank, you’re also entering a highly regulated market. And Memo Bank’s team is aware of that and wants to create a barrier to entry with its competitors while providing a different service compared to legacy players.
Memo Bank is a credit institution and has obtained the proper licenses from the French regulator (ACPR) and the European Central Bank. “It’s a unique event in France, it hasn’t happened since 1970,” Guyot said in a press conference.
“You don’t build a bank in a garage with a few thousand euros,” he added in order to set his startup apart from other fintech startups.
The startup has raised a $22.5 million (€20 million) funding round from BlackFin Capital Partners, existing investor Daphni and Bpifrance. Founders Future and a ton of business angels are also joining the round — Alexis Bonillo, Antoine Martin, Marc Simoncini, Nicolas Steegmann, Oleg Tscheltzoff, Paulin Dementhon, Pierre Valade, Rachel Delacour, Sarah Meyohas, Thibaud Elzière, Xavier Niel…
The former CEO of Arkéa Ronan Le Moal is also taking a seat at the table as chairman of the board. Memo Bank had previously raised $7.6 million (€6.7 million) in 2018.
So what is Memo Bank exactly? You’ll have to wait a few months if you want to become a client. The company has developed its own core banking infrastructure and wants to offer everything you’d expect from a business bank.
It starts with a bank account that doesn’t suck. “It seems obvious but believe me it’s not,” Guyot said. Many business banks don’t let you add team members without sending a letter. Or you can’t browse transactions that are older than three months in the web interface.
But the real product is credit. Memo Bank wants to offer credit lines in just a few days without any cumbersome paperwork. Memo Bank’s biggest competitor isn’t neobanks. The startup is competing directly with online lending platforms, such as October.
At first, Memo Bank is going to accept clients in the Paris area. While the company won’t have any physical branch, it wants to be able to come and talk to you directly. It’ll expand to Lyon and then other French cities in the next years. Eventually, Memo Bank hopes it can attract 4,000 clients within four years.
