Selection of the month: Medicine

"Believing in medicine would be the supreme madness if not believing in it were not an even greater one."
Marcel Proust


In March, LaCinetek goes to the bedside to take the pulse of the many cinematic representations of the medical environment, between reality and fantasy.

The films in the selection, from a wide range of genres, will share with you the experience of patients, the lives of those around them and the practices of those who treat them. A sensitive dive into our common humanity, made up of care, hardship and the will to live, despite everything.
