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.
