Great news for cinema lovers:the France Télévisions group will broadcast a film every evening on its channels during the curfew period.
While nearly 20 million French people are now subject to a curfew which should last - at least - 4 weeks, a question may not be long in your mind, at least if you are one of those concerned:how to occupy your evenings when the latter must take place at home from 9 p.m.?
This terrible question, which many of us have already pondered during the long weeks of spring confinement, may have already found an unexpected answer. In a statement released on Monday, October 19, the group France Télévisions has undertaken to broadcast a film every evening to "entertain and bring families together" who have seen their daily lives turned upside down by this new restrictive measure which came into force on October 17 in the Paris region and in eight other French cities.
Through this initiative, which is sure to make people happy, France Télévisions "reaffirms its public utility as close as possible to viewers by offering exceptional film programming to entertain and bring families together" .
A public service role that the group had already fulfilled wonderfully during the confinement at the start of the year, by immediately modifying the editorial line of France 4. The channel, then destined to disappear, could even have saved its future by transforming itself in a real remote classroom for confined schoolchildren.
A prime-time movie every night except Friday , where it will be offered in the second part of the evening :here is the contract announced by France Télévisions, which explains that it will still be necessary to juggle between the channels to access this content.
Sunday will thus be the day of France 2 for a "general public" film, Saturday evening that of France 4 for a "family" program, while Monday evening will be reserved for France 5 for a "heritage" film. The full program will be revealed later by the band.
For what we already know, France Télévisions broadcast this Sunday Murder on the Orient Express in its most modern version, directed by Kenneth Branagh in 2017 with Johnny Depp in particular. The "heritage" film broadcast this Monday, October 19 is none other than Let's sing in the rain , released in 1957. And this Tuesday night, it's the second part of the Hobbit saga which will be broadcast on France 2.
