Monday: The race for the Oscars begins
While the biggest American cinema ceremony is being held in a month (on the night of Sunday March 12 to Monday March 13), it is high time to set foot in the competition. This Monday, it’s time for the famous lunch of the nominees. Among the favorites this year, there are necessarily “Everything Everywhere All At Once” by Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, who, with eleven nominations, is more or less certain to leave with a statuette.
On the best actor side, in the men’s category, the Irishman Paul Mescal is very popular, impressively sensitive in “Aftersun” by Charlotte Wells. Among the women, it is Cate Blanchett for her role as a tormented conductor in “Tár” by Todd Field who seems well on her way to winning the statuette.

Tuesday: John Cale, Salle Pleyel at his “Mercy”
It is a legend who comes to perform at the Salle Pleyel, in Paris. John Cale, almost 81 years old, 17 solo albums to his credit and even more mythical songs, released a new album in January entitled “Mercy”. Resolutely modern, there are collaborations with young artists like the singer Weyes Blood on the title “Story of blood” and, above all, titles that we feel are inspired by garage rock and electronic music.
Carried by these melodies of today, John Cale sings as he has done for fifty-seven years, with accuracy and depth. At the Salle Pleyel, he will perform his hits from yesterday and today. Timeless.

Wednesday: cinema on Russian time
In “Tchaikovsky’s Wife”, which hits theaters this Wednesday, Kirill Serebrennikov tells the story of one of the world’s greatest composers through the torments of his wife, Antonina Miliukova. Married to a man who prefers the opposite sex to her, she is set up as a martyr of a Soviet society that is more than harsh on women.
On the occasion of the release of the film, “the Obs” met Kirill Serebrennikov, a bitter defender of human rights:
“My film now acts as a memory, a reminder of the vulnerability of human nature. Other questions cross him: what is a genius? Can he do wrong? What can you forgive a genius for being such? »

Saturday: at the Atelier des Lumières, full light on Chagall
After its annual closure, the Atelier des Lumières in Paris is back to school, and the spotlight is on Marc Chagall (1887-1985). In the exhibition “Chagall, Paris-New York”, the painter born in Belarus and then naturalized French is told through two cities that have marked his career: Paris and New York. The first, his city of choice, made him discover light and color. To honor him, he even painted the mythical ceiling of the Opéra Garnier.
New York will be the city of exile in 1941. There he discovers lithography, attaches himself to theater and music… At the Atelier des Lumières, specialist in immersive exhibitions, the work of Chagall, projected both on the walls and on the floors, will be accompanied by classical music, klezmer and jazz. On view until January 7, 2024.
Sunday: “Monet-Mitchell”, the last one-on-one at the Fondation Louis Vuitton
Only eight short days left to discover the “Monet-Mitchell” exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation. After four and a half months of presence, the French painter and the American artist bid farewell to the walls of the contemporary foundation.
For Suzanne Pagé, general curator of the exhibition and artistic director of the Louis Vuitton Foundation, the two artists work from emotion, experienced in the past or felt at the moment T:
“When he paints these canvases, Monet no longer works on the motif but in his studio, from the afterglow. Joan Mitchell spoke of “feelings”, at the crossroads of emotion and memory. »
