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...

His return to the Croisette this year is one of the major talking points amongst cinephiles. However, veteran filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who is in Competition for the Palme d’Or with his latest project Megalopolis, is now facing reports that he ran a chaotic set, which included him smoking pot, leaving cast and crew stranded for direction, and behaving in “an old school manner” with female extras on set. The story was first reported by TheGuardian, which cited sources who said Coppola, 85, made women sit on his lap and tried to kiss several topless or scantily clad female extras. Megalopo...

French filmmaker Laurent Cantet, who won the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 2008 for his school-set film Entre Les Murs (The Class), died on Thursday aged 63. "He died this morning in Paris of an illness," his agent Isabelle de la Patelliere told AFP. The Class is based on the novel of the same name by François Bégaudeau and is a semi-autobiographical account of his experience as a teacher in Paris’ diverse 20th arrondissement of Paris. Bégaudeau also starred in the film. It is both moving and at times wonderfully humorous portrait of precious idealism in the classroom – and doubly impressive conside...
