Le Comte de Monte-Cristo (2024) ***

It's not a faithful adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' famous novel, but it's still a very impressive film.

Le Successeur (2024) **

French thriller set in Canada. There is one huge and memorable surprise in this film, but some of its plot twists just aren't believable.

Emilia Perez (2024) ***

Surprising French film set in Mexico, with a story straight out of a Latin American telenovela, stunning musical numbers, a powerful political message and superlative acting performances from Karla Sofia Gascon, Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana and Adriana Paz (who all won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival).
