NÉNETTE (***)
An inspired documentary about a 40-year-old Borneo-born orangutan who has been living for the past 37 years at the Paris Gardens of Plants Zoo. Nénette is shown in closeup from the visitor’s side of the glass while unseen visitors and zookeepers discuss her history and habits. A nice experiment!

BOXING GYM (***)
Joyous documentary from the 80-year-old veteran Frederick Wiseman about a small boxing gym in Austin, Texas where people from all age groups and walk of life come to exercise. No interviews nor voiceovers which is a true delight since Wiseman lets the images speak for themselves.

MY JOY (***)
Challenging film feature debut by renowned Belarus-born documaker Sergei Loznitsa, set in a violence-filled & corrupt countryside. Excellent visual style!
