As we leave the biggest film event of the year, Cannes 2024, we have compiled this article to provide an overview of the festival, share information about the films we had the chance to watch, and create a list of recommendations.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ A striking prologue: tense strings starting before the screen even lights up, a deafening sound design, and superimposed distorted human faces caught between reality and hallucination... Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
⭐⭐⭐ While Emanuel Parvu seems to be following the footsteps of masters like Cristian Mungiu and Cristi Puiu, he appears to be lagging behind.
⭐⭐⭐ "Hollywood's Weird Wave" is loading... At least his signature is not yet lost, but a bit "interrupted".
Cannes est magique!
⭐⭐⭐ Mischievous and prolific... Duipeux's latest film "The Second Act" premiered at Cannes' official opening yesterday.

"Being a cinephile means paying two months' worth of minimum wage for accommodation in euros and rejoicing over free movie tickets."
