From Monday to Friday in Media Culture, Eva Roque gives you her TV tips for the evening.

Today, two series to discover to immerse you in the din of the world: "In therapy" on the Arte.tv platform and "Life in a day" available for free on YouTube.

Eva, it's time to check out the evening shows.

What does your zapping look like, and what is the theme?

The crash of the world.

It is a dialogue between Carole Bouquet and Frédéric Pierrot in one of the episodes of the series “In therapy”, broadcast this evening on Arte, which guided me towards this theme.

Discussion between the two actors playing two shrinks, two beings who wonder about their responsibility towards their patients and the state of the world a few days after the attacks of November 13, 2015. I have already told you all the good things I thought of this series which resonates strangely with the state of our society today.

This clash of the world finds an echo in an extraordinary film to see absolutely on Youtube and entitled "Life in a day".

This film is above all a concept.

For 10 years, under the leadership of Ridley Scott, Internet users around the world have been filming themselves on the same day, July 25 in this case.

A scene from their daily life, a few seconds of their life, of what they like, of what scares them.

The 2020 version documentary obviously had a special flavor with this global pandemic, but it begins with rising suns on five continents and the cries of babies born on July 25 in the countryside, in a hospital, at home.

The sequences are linked.

We are caught in a whirlwind of events.

Moments of everyday life like meals, scenes of strong emotion at the announcement of a death, more comical moments like this mother entering her daughter's room.

She lifts the duvet and finds her sleeping teenager with the cell phone in her hand.

The quality of the film obviously lies in the editing of all these sequences.

With this feeling that the world is stopping to offer us all its facets on July 25.

Sometimes a longer scene emerges like this man who in front of the camera proposes to his fiancée in marriage.

He is happy, everything is staged as he wanted ... but she did not say yes.

Or no.

But above all not yes.

And the man left with his ring.

This film is an enchanted parenthesis, a suspended moment full of grace, tears, smiles, already seen by nearly 6 million people.

85 minutes during which you should find yourself a little bit in this world crash.

  • In therapy can be seen on Arte from 20.50 or on the arte.tv website
