French director Xavier Giannoli's latest film sees Jean Dujardin embody the moral slide from pacifism to collaboration, as the Academy Award-winning actor helms the historical drama "Les Rayons et les Ombres". Film critic Manon Kerjean tells us why the complexity of its characters gives the film a powerful sense of nuance and why – at over three hours long – it's still a compelling watch.
We also discuss a quirky Hitchcock tribute as Laetitia Casta and Gilles Lellouche become psychologically entangled in "Murder in the Building", while "La Maison des Femmes" provides a moving and delicate portrait of an association working with survivors of violence.
Finally, Laurent Lafitte provides some comic relief in the hilarious and terrifying "Alter Ego", as an everyman forced to look his shortcomings in the face.
