From May 15 to 24, the days when the Greta Gerwig-led jury will discover the films in competition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, five French directors will try to succeed Justin Trier at the 2023 Palme d’Or for Anatomy of the Fall.
Among them: Christophe Honoré, who has already twice passed through the Queen’s section, leaving empty-handed, despite the songs Love and Please Love and Let Me Go. Will Marcelo Mio allow him to reverse the trend?
Fifteenth feature film that confirms the director’s taste for ghosts that already haunted Chambre 212, Guermantes, Le Lycée or his play. The sky of Nantes. For this occasion, he collaborates with Chiara Mastroianni for the seventh time in the cinema and casts the shadow of his father Marcello on it.
In a story that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality. The heroine’s name is Chiara and she is the daughter of Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve (who plays herself as Fabrice Luchin or Nicole Garcia). But he decides to change his life, living with his father’s appearance (including the mustache) and the way he talks.
In the cinema on May 21
Like Christophe Honoré, pay homage to the beloved actor by looking at his heritage and the aura of his parents. It’s time for a film with nostalgic undertones that could offer one of the biggest meta twists of competition at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
Not without repeating several iconic scenes, including the fountain in La Dolce Vita, winner of the Palme d’Or in 1960. Will Marcello Mio be able to repeat it to the prize list? Answer Saturday 25th May.
And a few days before, on Tuesday the 21st, the discovery of the result in French cinemas, parallel to its presentation on the Croisette.
