Damien Cabrespines gives you every morning in his culture journal the essential information to remember.

A new exclusive song, the British group London Grammar is releasing a new record.

It will be officially unveiled this evening at 8:30 p.m. We loved their song "Wasting My Young Years" in particular. And you played one of their records a few days ago, their sublime cover of the track "Nightcall" (the soundtrack of the film "Drive"). But this Wednesday it is therefore with a new song called "Baby It's You" that they decided to enchant our end of summer.

In a completely different style, Apple TV will go in search of the new star of the Country.

The "My Kind of Country" program will seek talent all over the world. This program will be produced by one of the most interesting actresses of the moment. : Reese Witherspoon. We remember her for her performance "rose barbie" in the film "The revenge of a blonde" released in the early 2000s. But for some time now, the actress has found herself especially at the heart of thrilling and remarkable TV projects, we think in particular of the series "Big Little Lies" or "The Morning Show" with Jennifer Aniston (also broadcast on Apple TV). With "My Kind of Country", Reese Witherspoon is now embarking on the production of programs halfway between documentary and reality TV. Filming is about to begin.

In theaters this Wednesday, a film that particularly thrilled Damien Cabrespines.

A Danish film called "A Perfect Family". The story of a family which sees its daily life turned upside down when the father decides to assume his transidentity. It's super sensitive and very tender film. We discover the repercussions of this decision not only in the life of this father figure but also on his ex-wife and his two daughters. The situations are very touching, the camera is always placed at a good distance. She never falls for the drama. It is very fair. It is poignant. It must be said that the director knows what she is talking about since she was inspired by her own story and her childhood memories when her father decided to change sex. "A Perfect Family" questions the notions of norms and acceptance of the other. It's really a very beautiful film, visible today in all French theaters.

Cinema always, a cult character will be absent from a mythical saga.

The "Matrix" saga, with Keanu Reeves and Carie-Ann Moss headlining, will soon be making a comeback. But if Neo and Trinity are there, there will be a big absentee for all the fans. Actor Laurence Fishburne has just confirmed that his character as Morpheus, Keanu Reeves' mentor in the film, will not be part of the adventure. Director Lana Wachowski decided otherwise. Another character who should not appear in this fourth installment, the very nasty Agent Smith played by Hugo Weaving. Matrix 4 is currently filming and the release of this new installment is scheduled for March 30, 2022.

We end this journal of culture in music with one of the greatest rock groups of the 80s.

This group is Dire Straits, that is to say about 140 million albums sold around the world, hits by the shovel and concerts in stadiums all over the world filled to capacity. In 13 years of existence, from 1978 to 1991, the group recorded six studio albums which will be the subject of a collector's box set which will be released in CD and vinyl version on October 9.
