After Gene Wilder in 1971 and Johnny Depp in 2005, Timothée Chalamet takes on the role of the world's most mysterious candy man in "Wonka", a sugar-sweet prequel about a young, idealistic Willy building his chocolate empire. FRANCE 24 film critic Lisa Nesselson tells us about the many cinematic incarnations of the original story by Roald Dahl. We also look at the latest instalment of "The Three Musketeers" starring Eva Green as a "delectably devious" villain, and "The Holdovers" starring Paul Giamatti as a disliked teacher forced to bond with one of his most obnoxious students. Plus, French production company Les Films du Losange marks its 60th anniversary.
