Les Enfants de Timpelbach (Trouble at Timpetill) (G) 95 mins
Kids rule in Nicolas Bary's whimsical, family-friendly fantasy comedy about a village where the children awaken one morning to find their parents have left them. The many pranks and bad behaviour of their children have driven the parents in the small mountain village of Timpeltill to despair, so to teach them a lesson they depart en masse. The children wake up. Breakfast is not ready. Water and electricity are cut off, and the town is deserted. The parents are gone... The children's initial excitement is soon followed by disillusionment as they realize that now they must take the responsibility of governing the town. The news of a village without parents delights Oscar and his gang of bullies! But this isn't the case for the few foolhardy ones who instead decide to side with Manfred and Marianne to retake control of the village.
With magnificent sets, imaginative costumes, and phenomenal child actors, this film wonderfully adapts the famous novel by Henry Winterfeld.
Genre: Family comedy

LOL (Laughing Out Loud) (MA15+) 107 mins
CÉSAR NOMINATION! Best Breakthrough Performance, Actress (Christa Theret)
Twenty-five years after creating the teenage rebel Vic in La Boum, Sophie Marceau once again delights in LOL, as the exasperated mother of an adolescent girl who shares her search for meaning in both life and love.
In text messaging, LOL means "Laughing Out Loud", but here it's also the nickname of 14-year-old Lola, who is returning to school after summer break. It's no laughing matter for her though when her boyfriend reveals that he has cheated on her over summer, leading her to hesitantly move on to his best friend Mael. Meanwhile her divorced mother Anne is secretly again seeing her father.
In a world of virtual communication, faceless technologies, and oblivious parents, LOL is a tongue-in-cheek take on female self-perception and relationships. Featuring an irresistible, jaw-droppingly handsome cast, a hit soundtrack and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, this finely sketched new comedy from Lisa Azuelos ("Hey Good Looking!") was one of the feel-great smash hits of the year with nearly four million admissions achieved at the French box office.
