Dibuka : nouveaux DVD pour la section Adultes!
"Vénus noire" d'Abdellatif Kechiche (2010)
"Paris, 1817, enceinte de l'Académie Royale de Médecine. « Je n'ai jamais vu de tête humaine plus semblable à celle des singes ». Face au moulage du corps de Saartjie Baartman, l'anatomiste Georges Cuvier est catégorique. Un parterre de distingués collègues applaudit la démonstration. Sept ans plus tôt, Saartjie, quittait l'Afrique du Sud avec son maître, Caezar, et livrait son corps en pâture au public londonien des foires aux monstres. Femme libre et entravée, elle était l'icône des bas-fonds, la « Vénus Hottentote » promise au mirage d'une ascension dorée... "
(Langue : français, avec sous-titres anglais).
"Elle s'appelait Sarah" de Gilles Paquet-Brenner (2010), adapté du roman de Tatiana de Rosnay, disponible à Dibuka!
"Julia Jarmond, journaliste américaine installée en France depuis 20 ans, enquête sur l'épisode douloureux du Vel d'Hiv.
En remontant les faits, son chemin croise celui de Sarah, une petite fille qui avait 10 ans en juillet 1942.
Ce qui n'était que le sujet d'un article devient alors, pour Julia, un enjeu personnel, dévoilant un mystère familial.
Comment deux destins, à 60 ans de distance, vont-ils se mêler pour révéler un secret qui bouleversera à jamais la vie de Julia et de ses proches ?
La vérité issue du passé a parfois un prix dans le présent..."
