This week on arts24’s film show, critic Manon Kerjean of Lost in French joins us to explore four very different works of French cinema – from monumental architecture to female bandits, nostalgic comedy and sweeping national portraiture. We begin with “L’Inconnu de la Grande Arche” (The Great Arch), a visually striking portrait of the architect behind Paris’ modern landmark, La Grande Arche de La Defense. Director Demoustier turns stone and steel into emotion, capturing the tension between ambition, politics and heritage, and Danish actor Claes Bang masters his French for the role.
