After the box office draw and acclaim of The Favourite and Poor Things, Yórgos Lánthimos reunites with his long-time writing partner Efthimis Filippou (Dogtooth, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) for a strange anthology triptych that is darker and far more surreal than his recent output. Kinds of Kindness tells three distinct stories using the same acting troupe in different roles, and it’ll prove divisive for fans of The Favourite and last year’s Poor Things. This triple helping of Lanthimos’ return to his Greek Weird Wave roots is for the OG fans - those who miss that queasy malaise...

Cannes (France) (AFP) - As one of the West's most famous Buddhists, and a close friend of the Dalai Lama, Richard Gere has thought long and hard about the moral quandary at the heart of his new film "Oh, Canada". Gere plays Leonard Fife, a revered documentary filmmaker with a murky past, who is hailed as a hero for his refusal to fight in the Vietnam War. "Whether it is a just or unjust war, can I kill someone? What do I do to defend our family?... We all ask ourselves that question," Gere said at Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. According to his Buddhist studies, "from an absolute point of ...

Cannes (AFP) - Emma Stone a déclaré samedi à Cannes que son réalisateur fétiche Yorgos Lanthimos, avec lequel elle travaille depuis longtemps et a remporté un Oscar ("Pauvres créatures"), était en quelque sorte sa muse. Et non l'inverse. "C'est lui ma muse", a souri l'actrice pendant la conférence de presse du film "Kinds of Kindness", en compétition. "Je suis une féministe", a déclaré l'actrice de "La La land", interrogée sur le sujet. "Si c'est du militantisme ou pas ? C'est juste ce qui a du sens pour moi". Quand elle choisit un film, c'est parce qu'elle "trouve les personnages intéressants...

Celebrated British director Andrea Arnold is no stranger to Cannes. Three of her five feature films have won the Jury Prize award (Red Road, Fish Tank and American Honey) and this year, she’s already taking home the Carrosse d’Or, which recognises the career of innovative filmmakers. And there’s a strong case to be made for her making it a double win – maybe finally the top gong? For her new film Bird, she teams up with the ubiquitous double act Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogowski, and newcomer Nykiya Adams, who plays 12-year-old Bailey. We meet her sharing a moment with a seagull. A brief window...

According to a new study, the best European cities for culture vultures are Paris and London. No surprises there - and we do have a lot of London-based recommendations for you this week - but putting this digest together also makes us realise just how many wonderful exhibitions and events take place in every pocket of this continent. Did you know, for example, there was an entire parade dedicated to cats in Ypres, Belgium last weekend? Yeah, we wish we'd been there too. There's also a brand new exhibition dedicated to 20th century icon Mark Rothko's paper paintings that just opened at Oslo's N...

When Australia's George Miller came here in 2016 to serve as jury president, just months after his "Mad Max: Fury Road" won six Oscars, he swept in like a conquering hero. His movie was undeniable: a reinvigoration of both his career and the action genre. Often, the relationship between Cannes and the blockbuster directors it invites comes off as strained — see French artist Zaho de Sagazan serenading this year's jury president Greta Gerwig at Tuesday's opening ceremony — but with Miller, the moment felt right. Things change. His "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" (in cinemas May 24), a somewhat dutifu...

This is the toughest review I’ve had to write in a long time. It borders on impossible, as I stopped noting down plot points for Megalopolis very early on in my attempt to take notes during the screening, as this insane baroque fever dream billed as a “Roman epic” and "A Fable” defies all description. Megalopolis has to be seen to be believed. And I don’t mean that in a good way. I don’t care if it’s the likely swansong from the veteran filmmaker behind such classics as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and The Conversation. Nor do I care to entertain those who’ll delude themselves into thinking t...

Paris (AFP) - This year's Cannes Film Festival hosts a trio of heartthrobs from the back end of the 20th century, making their comeback on the red carpet: Demi Moore, Kevin Costner and Richard Gere. From "Ghost" to "Pretty Woman" to "Dances with Wolves", they are responsible for some of Generation X's favourite movie moments. AFP looks at what they've been up to since. Demi Moore: ghost girlOn the Croisette, 61-year-old Moore will be making her unexpected return in slasher-horror "The Substance", competing for the festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or. It has been a long time since Moore came a...

Los Angeles (AFP) - A new exhibition opening in California this weekend traces the Jewish origins of Hollywood. "Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital" tells the story of how the then-small city of Los Angeles became the global center of filmmaking, partially because of the challenges Jews faced at the start of the 20th century. Jewish migrants escaping pogroms and persecution in Europe flocked to the New World where they hoped for better opportunities, said exhibition curator Dara Jaffe. "Even in America, Jews would have been restricted from entering any industry th...
