Every Saturday for an hour, European cinema specialist 1 Mathieu Charrier and his columnists take a tour of the news of the seventh art.
Story: Clint Eastwood, an outstanding portrait painter of America?
On the occasion of the release of the Warner box set which brings together 63 of his films and the broadcast of his latest film on Canal + “The Richard Jewell Case” Clap looks back on the director’s incredible career.
For 60 years Clint Eastwood has painted this America on the fringes, about which little is said. Whether in Grand Torino with a racist veteran who feels abandoned by his country or in The Exchange with this young mother who is fighting to find her son. Clint Eastwood talks about his everyday heroes. Today, he is one of the few artists to openly declare himself a conservative. So how does his political vision influence his films? What does he say through his films about America, its neuroses and its hopes? How to explain the loyalty of the American public but also French? We tell you everything in Clap!
