Every week in France, Wednesday marks the arrival of new films, offering cinema lovers a palette of emotions to explore. Going to the movies is an experience in which we let ourselves be transported into different worlds, sharing joys, sorrows, thrills and laughter with the characters on screen.
This weekly tradition is an invitation to experience captivating stories, discover visual and narrative works of art, and feel the thrill ofadventure and the depth of human emotion. Cinema, as a space for meeting and sharing, strengthens social ties and nourishes the collective imagination.
Every new film release is a chance to reconnect with the simple yet profound pleasure of being a moviegoer—to escape from everyday life and get carried away by the magic of the seventh art. Craving a night at the movies? Check out the highly anticipated films hitting theaters this Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
