“The nice couple” congratulate you for your very witty comments and for all the additional details we did not know about « the seed of the sacred fig », a film we also thought would win the palme d’or. However we are not so enthusiastic about Anora…Our choice was the « the Ken Lochian » British film « Bird » directed by Andrea Arnold which is set in Gravesend (a Thames estuary town I know very well) . This is a film, by the social atmosphere it depicts, appeals more to a European audience. Our second choice, as French and latin people goes to the very emotional film “Marcello mio” which reminds us of the glorious period (1950’s to 1970’s) of the French/Italian co-produced films.
I did really love "Bird" as well! "Marcello Mio" less so: Though I'm familiar with Mastroianni and Deneuve as actors, they don't hold the same cultural/emotional weight for me, so the film never quite resonated with me.
Thanks again for the ticket to the Closing Ceremony!
These wrap ups have been an amazing insight into the festival. Thank you!!!
