Group portraits

Cinema has always been fond of groups of individuals: the affinities, tensions, differences and impulses that animate these groups make them ideal microcosms for understanding human relations and portraying an era, a generation or a society. Not to mention the fact that the dynamics of a group of people can be a formidable narrative, humorous and psychological engine, never lacking in twists and emotions. This cycle proposes to explore this motif through a first selection of films placed under the sign of friendship: from the edgy teenagers of the 1980s to the idle youth of the 1990s, from Yves Robert's post-war children to** Xavier Dolan's millennial lovers, via **Jacques Rivette's independent students or Claude Sautet's aging friends.

The Breakfast Club

John Hughes

John Wilden Hughes Jr was an American filmmaker. Hughes began his career in 1970 as a writer of essays and humorous stories for National Lampoon magazine. He then moved to Hollywood to write, produce and sometimes direct some of the most successful live-action comedy films of the 1980s and 1990s, such as National Lampoon's Vacation, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, Home Alone, Beethoven, Dennis the Menace and Baby's Day Out.

Most of Hughes' work is set in the Chicago metropolitan area. He is best known for his teen comedy films that honestly portray the lives of suburban youth. Many of his most memorable characters from these years were written for Molly Ringwald, who was Hughes' muse.

Notre cycle Portraits de groupes est l’occasion de revoir deux grands films générationnels, The Outsiders de Francis Ford Coppola et The Breakfast Club de John Hughes, et de se pencher sur le charme des années 1980.

Mr. Vernon, we accept that we sacrificed an entire Saturday in detention since you think we did something wrong. But we find absurd the essay topic you gave us: "Who do you think you are?". You see us as you want to see us. We have come up with a very simple definition: each of us is an overachiever, an athlete, a screw-up, a daddy's girl and a delinquent. How does that sound?
