Panorama de Lilia Hassaine

  • dimanche, 8 mars

  • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

  • Hélène, ex-commissaire de police, reprend du service pour retrouver un couple et leur petit garçon, Milo. Elle rencontre les dernières personnes à avoir été en contact avec eux. Depuis que la France a basculé dans l’ère de la Transparence, ces hommes et ces femmes vivent dans un monde harmonieux, libéré du mal, où chacun évolue sous le regard protecteur de ses voisins. Mais au cours de son enquête, Hélène va dévoiler une vérité aussi surprenante que terrifiante.

  • À travers cette contre-utopie, c’est le monde d’aujourd’hui que l’autrice interroge. Ce roman haletant montre des êtres en proie à leurs pulsions et à leurs fêlures derrière leur apparente perfection.

  • Julie Sicard s’empare avec talent de cet inquiétant récit prémonitoire, et nous plonge dans les failles béantes de notre société de l’apparence.

Film Little Amélie or the Character of Rain at OKCMOA

  • A 2026 Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature, Mäilys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han’s visually exquisite adaptation of Amélie Nothomb’s bestselling autobiographical novel contemplates life through the eyes of a Belgian girl growing up in Japan as she approaches her third birthday.

  • “The world is a perplexing, peaceful mystery to Amélie until a miraculous encounter with chocolate ignites her wild sense of curiosity. As she develops a deep attachment to her family’s housekeeper, Nishio-san, Amélie discovers the wonders of nature as well as the emotional truths hidden beneath the surface of her family’s idyllic life as foreigners in post-war Japan.

    Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb and brought to life in the completely original animated style of directors Mäilys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han, Little Amélie or the Character of Rain tells a tender, poignant and visually stunning story about the healing power of human connection.” –GKids

La Chandeleur, officially observed in France on February 2nd and coinciding with Groundhog Day in the US, is a holiday that celebrates sunlight, abundance, and blessings for the coming year.  It has a rich historical and cultural significance that blends pagan rituals, Christian practices, and culinary traditions.  It has also evolved to become National Crêpe Day, as the golden color and round shape of the crêpes symbolize the sun.

À la Recherche du Temps Perdu , Tome I: Du côté de chez Swann de Marcel Proust

  • dimanche, 25 janvier

  • 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

  • Virtual Meeting en français via Zoom - For Zoom meeting details or additional information, please email virginieperezwoods@ou.edu

  • À la recherche du temps perdu, couramment évoqué plus simplement sous le titre La Recherche, est un roman de Marcel Proust.

  • Plutôt que le récit d'une séquence d'événements, cette œuvre s'intéresse non pas aux souvenirs du narrateur mais à une réflexion psychologique sur la littérature, sur la mémoire et sur le temps.

  • Le premier volume de l'œuvre légendaire de Proust raconte les souvenirs de Combray, la madeleine trempée dans une tasse de thé et, bien sûr, l'histoire d'amour entre Swann et Odette.

Les Vœux, Best wishes for the New Year/Meilleurs Voeux pour la Nouvelle Annee!
In France, sending best wishes for the New Year is not just something you do on January 1st. French people do it the entire month as another reason to celebrate with friends!

La Fête des Rois (The Festival of the Kings) is a 700-year old tradition in France
La Fête des Rois dates back to the 13th century and takes place on January 6th, the 12th day after Christmas, when Epiphany celebrates the arrival of the Three Kings after the birth of Christ. It is often celebrated after New Year's and includes a king and a special cake. La galette des rois, is a mouth-watering puff pastry confection with almond-flavored frangipane filling.

There are three main aspects to the French tradition of La Fête des Rois:

  • la galette des rois (a delicious puff pastry confection)

  • the féve (a small object that is placed in the galette des rois)

  • the crowning of the king (or queen).
