The Film Comment Podcast: Cannes 2019 Day 3
Welcome back for day 3 of our series from the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Joining us on the Riviera for today’s episode are Bruno Dequen, critic and Director of Programming at Rencontres Internationales du Documentaire de Montréal and Eric Hynes, Film Comment contributor and Curator of Film at the Museum of Moving Image. With host and FC Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold, they dive into the swirling depths of Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles’s Bacurau, which Dequen describes as “The Most Dangerous Game if it were co-directed by Reygadas and Robert Rodriguez.” Also discussed are Mati Diop’s Atlantique, a love-story focused on the intertwined lives of North African immigrants to Europe, Monia Chokri’s A Brother’s Love, and the documentary programming (or lack thereof) at the festival.
