Movie review: Le temps de l’aventure (Just a Sigh) #affff2014
Actress Alix Aubane (Emmannuelle Devos) is a woman adrift in Jérôme Bonnell’s slice-of-life drama Le temps de l’aventure (Just a Sigh).

Say hello to the Two Men on Planet Ten
So if we’ve learned anything at all from shows like Star Trek (in all its incarnations), Stargate SG1 and 1001 other sci-fi shows that feature humanity dashing from one corner of the galaxy to another, it’s that exploring another planet is exciting, scary, important, enthralling, educational or a heady Continue Reading
