FQ editor-at-large B. Ruby Rich reports from the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Skipping the “grand old men” (Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, David Cronenberg’s Shrouds, and Paul Schrader’s Oh, Canada) competing in the main competition, Rich concentrated instead on the festival’s other sections and its renegade outlier, the Quinzaine (Directors’ Fortnight). Rich describes her festival highlights, including Jacques Audiard’s faux-Mexican, trans-phantasmagoric, all-singing, all-dancing confection Emilia Pérez along with a number of documentaries. |
