About this listen
Mêlé de près à une affaire criminelle dans l'atmosphère trouble du Paris de la guerre d'Algérie, Jean rouvre une enquête classée sans suite et tente de mettre au clair les circonstances qui l'ont conduit à fréquenter la bande de l'Unic Hôtel et une certaine Dannie dont il était amoureux. En recoupant ses souvenirs avec les pièces d'un dossier de la brigade des mœurs, Jean, vraisemblablement le dernier témoin de cette affaire, explore au fil de ses déambulations nocturnes cet espace entrouvert où la mémoire rejoint l'oubli.
La rencontre entre Denis Podalydès et le texte de Patrick Modiano s'écoute comme une évidence. Fluide, hypnotique, sensible, la voix du comédien nous happe dans les volutes du souvenir, le clair-obscur des confidences, la ligne de fuite du temps.

Story
"Et parmi toutes ces pages blanches et vides, je ne pouvais détacher les yeux de la phrase qui chaque fois me surprenait quand je feuilletais l’agenda : "Si j’avais su..." On aurait dit une voix qui rompait le silence, quelqu’un qui aurait voulu vous faire une confidence, mais y avait renoncé ou n’en avait pas eu le temps."

Story
"Encore aujourd'hui, il m'arrive d'entendre, le soir, une voix qui m'appelle par mon prénom, dans la rue. Une voix rauque. Elle traîne un peu sur les syllabes et je la reconnais tout de suite : la voix de Louki. Je me retourne, mais il n'y a personne. Pas seulement le soir, mais au creux de ces après-midi d'été où vous ne savez plus très bien en quelle année vous êtes. Tout va recommencer comme avant. Les mêmes jours, les mêmes nuits, les mêmes lieux, les mêmes rencontres. L'Éternel Retour." Patrick Modiano

Story
En 1964, dans un café parisien, un client braque l'objectif de son Rolleiflex sur un jeune couple assis à une table proche. C'est ainsi que le narrateur fait la connaissance du photographe Francis Jansen, avec qui il se lie un temps. Puis un jour Jansen disparaît sans laisser d'adresse. Le souvenir de cet homme étrange et de leurs rencontres vient hanter, trente ans plus tard, celui que Jansen appelait "le scribe", et qui va tenter de reconstituer sa silhouette évanouie... Mais est-ce un hasard si au dos de la première photo retrouvée, qui va déclencher cette quête hasardeuse de souvenirs, est inscrit "Reproduction interdite" ?

"Vous en avez de la mémoire..." "Oui, beaucoup... Mais j'ai aussi la mémoire de détails de ma vie, de personnes que je me suis efforcé d'oublier. Je croyais y être parvenu et sans que je m'y attende, après des dizaines d'années, ils remontent à la surface, comme des noyés, au détour d'une rue, à certaines heures de la journée."

Story
En quelques pages, à la première personne, Annie Ernaux raconte une relation vécue avec un homme de trente ans de moins qu'elle. Une expérience qui la fit redevenir, l'espace de plusieurs mois, la "fille scandaleuse" de sa jeunesse. Un voyage dans le temps qui lui permit de franchir une étape décisive dans son écriture. La lecture sensible de Françoise Gillard de la Comédie-Française met en valeur ce texte clé de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux qui éclaire son rapport au temps et à l'écriture.

Story
"Depuis des années, je tourne autour de cet événement de ma vie. Lire dans un roman le récit d'un avortement me plonge dans un saisissement sans images ni pensées, comme si les mots se changeaient instantanément en sensation violente. De la même façon entendre par hasard "La javanaise", "J'ai la mémoire qui flanche", n'importe quelle chanson qui m'a accompagnée durant cette période, me bouleverse."

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder. "Rule number one for the perfect murder: Evidence is your enemy. Leave none behind." Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.
