Mısır’da İsmailiye’deyiz. 1910’lu yıllar. Darbukanın sesine dayanamayan çocuk sokağa çıkıp kendini darbukanın ritmine bırakıyor. Aynı çocuk büyüdüğü zaman ailesiyle Monako’ya taşınacak ve Sporting’de prova yapan Frank Sinatra’yı seyredecek. Bu genç adam hiç durmayıp devamlı yükselecek. Yaptığı müzik 1 numara olsa da, hayranları ve genç kadınlar peşini bırakmasa da hiçbir şey onun için yeterli olmayacak. Yeni müziklerin peşinden gidecek, herkesten çok, ölürcesine çalışacak ve kimsenin kendisini sevmesine izin vermeyecek. Florent Emillio Siri’nin iki buçuk saat süren filmini Mart ayında seyrettim. ‘Cloclo’ 20. yüzyılda Fransız müziğine damgasını vuran Claude François’nın lakabı, hayatı, filmi. Aylar sonra filmi konuşmamın sebebiyse, unutulmaz bir performansla Claude François olan oyuncu Jeremie Renier. Belçikalı oyuncunun başarısıyla ‘Comme d’Habitude’, ‘Cette Annee-La’, ‘Magnolias For Ever’ ve ‘Alexandrie Alexandra’ şarkıları 2012’de yeniden hayat buluyor.

Vincent Lannoo’s ‘mockumentary’ shows us a community of vampires in Belgium. The two ‘parents’ of the family are George and Bertha, who have two teenage children – or rather, they raise two former humans who they turned into vampires. Son Samson is a bit of a jack the lad: enjoying the sexual freedom of vampire life, with all the vigour of an irresponsible young adult regardless of consequences (even incest is not frowned upon in their world, where the word ‘wife’ is often synonymous with ‘mother’ or ‘sister’). Daughter Grace yearns for humanity in a different way: applying fake tan to get rid of her vampiric pallor, dressing in pink clothes, wishing she could feel emotion and even having a human boyfriend.

Standing on the edge of a rooftop, Gregory ponders the precariousness of life. He is 20 and feels like a stranger to himself. He wonders how he can live without dreams or desires. One day, he sees Liv, another college sophomore, and falls secretly and utterly in love with her. When he finally dares to declare his love, he finds himself up against a wall. Liv does not know him. Twenty-year-old Liv loses her virginity to Ilia, an older Russian army deserter. She experiences her first love and treasures every minute. But all too soon, Ilia's past creeps back into his life and unravels their union. One day, he leaves her without a word. She will have to live with the same intolerable loneliness that she unwittingly inflicted on Gregory.

There is nothing we can do against the call of love. Amiens, 1713. Des Grieux is a noble young student, wise for his years, who's preparing to become a knight of the Order of Malta. With a fine future as a teacher of rhetoric ahead of him, he meets a young commoner, Manon Lescaut, a candle maker's daughter. It's love at first sight.
