After the disappointment of the opening film, the first two days on the Croisette you can breathe another air. Indeed, both from America to Asia two productions that they will agree is the general public that criticism. We are talking about a part of the American director Todd HAYNES presenting

WONDERSTRUCK. Transposing the big screen after The Invention Of Hugo Cabret of another book written by Selznick. They are two stories, a set in 1977 centers on a teenager who suffers from the father he never knew, and the other set half a century earlier, told with images in B&N, of a deaf girl from birth who dreams of meeting a famous actress. But both are in search of their origins. We must say that Julianne Moore Oscar winner plays a part cloying. Instead the script is well structured in a difficult composition and alternation between the two characters'. Even the photograph, but especially the music taken from David Bowie's repertoire have an important role in the success of the film.
L’altro regista è il sudcoreano BONG Joon-Ho che con OKJA He tells a story

animal rights, author of the futuristic Snow piercer presented in 2013 the Film Festival of Rome, in questa nuova favola attuale con un cast tra i quali spicca Jake Gyllenhall parla della giovane Mija che per dieci anni si è presa cura di un enorme animale frutto di un industria multinazionale di hamburger OGM diretta da una splendida Tilda Swinton.

In the press conference he made it clear that this is not a criticism of their country, which being part of Europe the geograpinternal ion is also a problem

Member States of Europe. Without wishing to make inquiries feel even more in these statements climate that reigns in Hungary. But we come to the story of migrations between scenes, Tracking leads scenes to complete the story with the sacrifice of Dr. Stern, a physician who has tried in all ways to harness the powers of rising from the ground almost as an angel of the young Aryan immigrants illegally.Out of competition Special Screenings for the young Iranian promise Anahita GHAZVINIZADEH It presented a film THEY which contributes like Opera Prima. The story of J a teenager who tries to figure out its guidelines. Against the background of a family of Iranian immigrants perfectly integrated in America takes place without J-time drama that at times he feels a, sometimes a she.
