🎬 Movie

A man in a suit adjusts his tie in the mirror, his movements precise, his posture confident, yet his eyes hold a question. The 2025 documentary «Homo virilus : la fabrique du mâle-être» deconstructs the modern architecture of masculinity. From gym locker rooms to corporate boardrooms, from social media feeds to family dinners, the camera observes the rituals through which society fabricates the image of a 'real man'. The filmmaker follows bodybuilders during training, interviews psychologists, observes stay-at-home fathers, and dissects advertising tropes. The film poses a central inquiry: what remains of the individual when forced into rigid gender molds? It's an exploration not only of societal pressure but also of quiet rebellion—of those finding ways to redefine manhood on their own terms.
