Cannes edition #78 is a whole nuther kettle of soupe de poisson / fish soup from last year. it’s as if Thierry Fremaux, the delegue general, director of programming, compiled a list of films from Totalitarian Hell—all different angles on what happens when the bad guys take over.
With everything that is French about the Cannes film festival, the location, the films, the celebration of France itself, the 78th Cannes film festival notably made room on opening night, May 13, for a strong American presence.
The 78th Cannes Film Festival opens next Tuesday night, the 13th, through Saturday the 24th and the awarding of the Palmes D’Or. Our film critic Harlan Jacobson will be reporting in. What are you looking forward to this year, Harlan?
