Tonight’s French television schedule offers a diverse range of programming, from a documentary examining fasting to a re-airing of Valérie Donzelli’s acclaimed romantic comedy, “Main dans la main,” and a retrospective on Madonna’s connection to French artistry.
“Main dans la main,” released in 2012, stars Valérie Lemercier and Jérémie Elkaïm as two individuals inexplicably bound together, unable to separate. The film, directed by Valérie Donzelli, is described as a “burlesque love story” and will air on France 4 at 10:30 PM. Donzelli, born March 2nd, 1973, in Épinal, France, began her career as an actress in 2001 before transitioning to directing, with her debut feature film, “La Reine des pommes,” released in 2009. Her 2011 film, “La guerre est déclarée,” achieved significant success in France, attracting 850,000 viewers and receiving awards at the Angoulême and Cabourg film festivals, and representing France at the Oscars.
Also airing tonight is “Le Jeûne, enquête sur un phénomène,” a documentary by Thierry de Lestrade and Sylvie Gilman exploring the benefits of preventative and therapeutic fasting. The film will be broadcast on LCP at 9:00 PM. This is a revisit to the topic for the filmmakers, following a previous documentary on the subject twelve years prior.
France 4 will also feature “In France with Madonna” at 11:55 PM, a documentary highlighting the singer’s long-standing relationship with French artistic talent, including collaborations with Jean-Paul Gaultier and choreographer Marion Motin. The documentary emphasizes the contribution of French creativity to Madonna’s success.
