When the Cannes Film Festival made history last Saturday by awarding the Best Actress prize to the ensemble cast of French director Jacques Audiard’s film Emilia Pérez, a cast which includes transgender actress Karla Sofía Gascón, one voice felt it had to make itself heard. French far-right politician Marion Maréchal, the head of France’s Reconquête! party list for the European elections, made comments about Karla Sofía Gascón. She wrote on X: “So it's a man who is receiving the prize for... female interpretation at Cannes. Progress for the left is the erasure of women and mothers.” Now, six a...

The 77th Cannes Film Festival has come to a close and American film Anora by Sean Baker has won this year’s Palme d’Or. A favourite amongst audiences on the Croisette this year (and our top pick to win the Palme), Anora is Baker’s latest film following his Cannes-premiering films The Florida Project and Red Rocket. The Jury, presided over by actor-director Greta Gerwig, selected Anora from 22 films in Competition this year – a particularly eclectic and vibrant selection. And the awards this year reflect this varied group of films. Baker dedicated his Palme to “all sex workers – past, present a...

Last year, dissident Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof was unable to accept his Cannes invitation to join the Un Certain Regard Jury because of imposed travel restrictions. This year, he was able to present his new film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, in person. But not without a gripping off-screen story. Two weeks ago, Rasoulof clandestinely fled Iran upon receiving an eight-year prison sentence for standing up to the brutal theocratic regime. His nail-biting escape led him to Germany to finish the edit of the film, and up until a few days ago, no one was sure whether his escape meant that he...

Dissident Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof has arrived at the Cannes Film Festival, following a clandestine escape from his native country which included an escape on foot across the mountainous borderland. Rasoulof, 52, was facing eight years in prison when he decided to flee Iran. His films criticizing the Iranian regime have earned him critical acclaim over the years, as well as a long string of prison sentences, filmmaking bans and travel restrictions. He won Berlin’s Golden Bear in 2020 with There Is No Evil and the top prize in Un Certain Regard at Cannes in 2018 with A Man Of Integri...

Anora, Sean Baker’s latest film following 2021's Cannes-premiering Red Rocket, is a raucous blast - a kinetic New York City screwball comedy that shares the chaotic energy of the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems and disguises a darker heart. It’s a knockout. Tempting though it is to finish the review there, with the added substantial bonus that Baker makes Take That co-exist with t.A.T.u. (don’t pretend you’re not sold on this by now), here’s some context. The title character, an exotic dancer and sometime escort who prefers to be called Ani (Mikey Madison), works in a strip club in Manhattan. Bein...
