The death of a great man of letters and great screenwriter, an underestimated phenomenon and a particularly strong documentary

The disappearance of one of the greatest French screenwriters.

Jean-Claude Carrière, a wonderful storyteller, died at the age of 89.

He had written many, many great films.

He had also written for television and adapted his book, "La controverse de Valladolid" in particular.

What is less known is that he had been a cartoonist when he was 20 years old.

He had told it to Isabelle Morizet in 2012.

Even if drawing has always mattered to him, it is the writing that Jean-Claude Carrière prefers.

He writes novels, plays and especially films like "The diary of a chambermaid" and "Belle de jour" by Luis Bunuel or "La Piscine" and "Borsalino" by Jacques Deray.

He also works with Louis Malle "Milou in May", Volker Schlöndorff "Le Tambour", and Jean-Paul Rappeneau for "Cyrano de Bergerac".

For this film, he writes dozens of Alexandrines, in the manner of Edmond Rostand and even comes, without knowing it, to think and write like him.

Gérard Depardieu in "Cyrano de Bergerac", one of the 70 films written by Jean-Claude Carrière, who died last night at the age of 89.

A shocking new government campaign, on your screens, from today. 

We see a family gathered around a table.

A little girl asks her parents a question, a little embarrassed.

It is his brother, who plays on a tablet which answers it and shocks the two adults.

A spot to promote a new platform, a website launched today by the government to fight against the exposure of minors to online pornography.

The first step is to educate parents, who are not necessarily aware of the phenomenon.

It is also about helping them, giving them very concrete solutions.

A necessary initiative, according to Adrien Taquet, the Secretary of State for Children and Families.

Exposure to pornography, he says, has a very negative impact on children.

It's not easy to talk about this subject with your children, the platform helps parents to do it. 

An application and a video game.

The video game is the new version of “Animal Crossing”, the best-selling cultural property last year with just over a million physical copies sold, according to the GFK institute.

Far in front of the books of Joël Dicker or Guillaume Musso, for example.

The application is Telegram, a messaging service of Russian origin.

It is the most downloaded application in the world, last month.

Consequence, there, of the movement of panic caused by the recent update of WhatsApp.

Many of its users feared that their data could be used by Facebook, the parent company of WhatsApp. 

The focus of the day is a particularly strong documentary, broadcast this evening on France 5.

"The child of the double hope", documentary at the same time scientific, political, societal and above all very human. It is the story of the family of César, five years suffering from a rare genetic disease. give only a few years to live. The only solution: a bone marrow transplant. The best possible compatibility for him would be a brother or a sister but who is not yet born. It is vulgarly called a “drug baby”.

What is a drug baby?

He is a child conceived in vitro with a selection of embryos. This makes it possible to have a child not only healthy, without genetic disease but also compatible with the one to be helped, in this case Caesar. This is why we speak of a child of double hope. It's not yet allowed in France, so the couple went to Belgium. It was there that he was able to follow this protocol and hope to give Caesar years of extra life. This fight, the director Arnaud Xainte followed for more than a year. A fight which, he says, poses ethical questions and questions our convictions. Arnaud Xainte is co-director with Stéphanie Thomas of the documentary “The child of double hope” broadcast in “Le Monde en Face” this evening at 8:50 pm on France 5.
