Philippe Jaenada, the art of counter-investigation

Philipe Jaenada became famous thanks to fascinating counter-investigations into past affairs, known or not, elucidated with rigor, humanity and humor. At home we always turn the pages in good company: his own, via his digressions and parentheses (he loves them) and that of men and women to whom he does justice through time and whom he makes us love in our turn.

The Prodigious Friend : childhood, adolescence of Elena Ferrante – Volume 1
Directed by: Sophie-Aude Picon

With notably: Amira Casar, Louise Orry-Diquéro

The author propels us into post-war Italy in a working-class neighborhood of Naples. After years of fascism, the city takes its revenge. She swarms, she belches and never seems to be able to fall asleep. L’Amie prodigieuse tells the parallel story of Elena and Lila, two young friends from the same disadvantaged neighborhood. The shy and diligent Elena is fascinated by the confidence and revolt of the wild Lila. Both gifted for studies, however, do not follow the same path. Lila, the gifted one, quickly abandons school to work with her father and brother in their shoemaker’s shop. While Elena, supported by her teacher, goes to middle school then, later, to high school. Their paths will lead them, after passing through adolescence, to the dawn of adulthood, not without ruptures and suffering.

Every evening, the soap opera is followed by Chronicles of chance by Elena Ferrante

Directed by: Sophie-Aude Picon

I had never put myself in the position of having to write out of obligation,” confides the author of L’amie prodigieuse at the opening of this collection. The novelist, whose identity has never been revealed, reveals herself through these fifty-one columns, published weekly in The Guardian, in 2018. Evoking in turn society, politics, writing, cinema, the city, Elena Ferrante talks about her relationship to the world, and invites us to rethink ours. Her introspection touches on the universal when she reflects on family ties, friendships, motherhood, always attentive to affirming the power of the feminine.

Candide or optimism by Voltaire

Director: Georges Peyrou

Candide or Optimism is a major work of the Age of Enlightenment, which enjoyed great success upon its publication in 1759. In the form of a tale, Voltaire recounts the misadventures of Candide, a naive and resolutely optimistic young man, who after having been chased from his castle, undertakes an (initiatory) journey punctuated by misfortunes: war, natural disasters, poverty… Opposed to Leibniz’s theory, according to which our world would be “the best of all possible worlds” since it was God who created it, Voltaire thought that man can improve his condition through action and proposes a more pragmatic philosophy of happiness which is summed up in the now famous formula: “We must cultivate our garden” which ends the story.

Followed by Zadig by Voltaire

Réalisation : Cédric Aussir 

Young, rich, handsome and intelligent, learned and brave, Zadig is very courted in Babylon, he alone embodies human happiness when the whims of fortune will test the firmness of his character and the resources of his mind. Betrayed by the beautiful Semire, exposed to the fierce jealousy of King Moabdar, he is soon reduced to the miserable state of a vagabond.

Le Souffle de la pensée, by Géraldine Mosna-Savoye

With Christophe Boltanski, writer and essayist

Théâtre et Cie (rebroadcast)

Ancient Masters (comedy) by Thomas Bernhard

Réalisation Pascal Deux 

Ancient Masterspublished in 1985, is Thomas Bernhard’s penultimate novel. It takes place entirely in a room in the Museum of Ancient Art in Vienna. Three characters are there. Atzbacher – the narrator – has a meeting with old Reger, a music critic whom for thirty years the museum keeper, Irrsigler, has allowed to sit on his “reserved bench” in the Bordone room in front of the Tintoretto painting: “The Man with the White Beard”.

Atzbacher arrives a little early to observe his friend Reger, who has recently become a widower. We will only learn at the very end the reason which led Reger to make an appointment with Atzbacher. HAS
