Favorite: favorite movie
Finally, the festival-goers collectively felt a real thrill in front of a film in Cannes competition. The Zone of Interest of Jonathan Glazer ice of realism at the time of attacking the subject of the Holocaust. The banal and futile life of Auschwitz camp commander Rudolf Höss and his wife (Sandra Hüller) in their beautiful garden sheds light on the banality of evil better than many thesis works. While the fireplaces burn the bodies of the victims, this clinical work shows the worst without ever embellishing it, while making one feel the fear that lurks everywhere.
Rant: too many rhinestones
There are so many Hollywood and European stars at Cannes this year that the red carpets overshadow films, good or bad. And while the photographers cover their cameras with small umbrellas to show the beautiful profiles of Carla-Bruni Sarkozy, Robert de Niro and Leo DiCaprio, the cinephilic vocation takes a hit on the screens of the world, where the excess of glamor overshadows everything. At least, Martin Scorsese’s film really has the crowds running.
Odile Tremblay is the guest of the Cannes Film Festival.
