Contrechamp: a weekly dispatch from French cinema
A French-language cinema weekly covering reviews, release schedules, festivals, film history, the industry, and the season ahead.
Why it surfaced
Contrechamp gives its readers a proper weekly table of contents, with 10 articles, scored reviews, release-date context, and filters such as “Cinéma d'auteur,” “En famille,” and “Plus de deux heures.” Its lead story turns the August release of a Cannes Palme d'Or winner into a sharp question about film distribution rather than treating cinema as a list of premieres.
