The release of a film Ridley Scott is always an event. But when the director ofAlien and Gladiator tackles a couture monument with a daunting cast, he creates a real phenomenon. With Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons and even our Camille Cottin national, House of Gucci made in luxury, like the dynasty whose destiny we follow.
Unveiled in November 2021 in theaters on the occasion of the centenary of the legendary label, it is barely 6 months later that we can discover the case of the assassination of Maurizio Gucci. A feature film that presents us with the masterful fresco of a merciless struggle for control of an iconic house: all shots are allowed at Gucci.

Focus on another destiny with Super Pumped. Called The Dark Side of Uber, the first season of this anthology series looks back at the creation of the revolutionary platform by Travis Kalanick.

A breathtaking cast for the 7 episodes already available on CANAL+. Nothing better to wait for the release of the 2nd season which will come back to the creation of Facebook.

By placing this quasi-autobiographical story in a matriarchal society, the author points the finger at the sexism and toxicity of this environment, and also takes a look at an industry that is still taboo today.

Ryan Reynolds lands on CANAL+ from June 10 in Free Guythe completely barred creation of Shawn Levydirector of Night at the Museum and of Stranger Things.
Bank employee whose life is perfectly measured, Guy is doomed to be robbed daily. Having never known anything else, he is content with this routine, wearing his biggest smile in all circumstances. What he doesn’t know is that he is a non-player character, an extra in a video game called Free City.
Meeting the character Molotov Girl (Jodie Comer) will upset his destiny, and make him switch to the other side of the controller. Halfway between The Matrix and The Truman Show, Free Guy is an action comedy like you rarely see, nervous, explosive, full of staging ideas, references to pop culture and guests!
