Always with a score of 2,5 Terrence MALICK A HIDDEN LIFE e Corneliu PORUMBOIU THE WHISTLERS. At the last places remain Ladj LY with the First Film LES MISERABLES 2,4, Jessica HAUSNER con LITTLE JOE 2,3 and finally Jim Jarmusch with THE DEAD DO NOT DIE which gets the lowest score 2,2.
For what concerns us at the turning point of the honors deserving films are to Pedro with ALMODÓVAR PAIN AND GLORY ex aequo with A HIDDEN LIFE Terrence Malick di seguito of Kleber Mendonça & Julian DORNELLES con BACURAU e DIAO Yinan con THE WILD GOOSE LAKE.
Sorry to say though that we still have not been won by a history, by a picture, by feelings, except from Malick who from a painful history draws the serenity of the protagonist in a world filled with hatred. Let us now turn to the films seen in two days quwìesti:
In the weekend on the red carpet a distinctly feminine film where there is also Valeria Golino in the mother figure despot. It is PORTRAIT OF THE GIRL ON FIRE Céline Sciamma which received a good reception of the public. Movie captions on the century of the industrial revolution, that sluggish with obviousness all too evident since dall'incipit. Surprisingly, the abortion scene showing in its simplicity the tragedy of the servant.
Compared to recent works by Malick we find ourselves with A HIDDEN LIFE He is struggling with a titanic task of the director who manages to keep the simplicity and serenity in a tragic story. And 'the mood of the protagonist force (however, a true story) that in a dark century as the one before us he can bring us back to the simplicity of human values. A topical issue with the countless intolerance towards each other. Finally the author put down to earth. Although the duration of three hours could lead to desert the hall in the film captures the strange tranquility in a world crossed by wars.
In Cannes we review the brothers Jean-Pierre DARDENNE & Luc DARDENNE with YOUNG AHMED . A stori discounted at which directors give final unna unexpected turn, as if to absolve the young protagonist accusation. And 'the story of a teenager who is bewitched by pseudo Islamic ideology. Unfortunately, the Dardenne to end in a short time the story has a final approach unrealistic.
Always in competition Ira SACHS presents FRANKIE played by 
a timeless actress Isabelle Huppert . And 'the story happens in an established actress but is faced with the issue of switching to the good death. We find such serenity that were it not for its express declaration to fight the evil of the century, the viewer could never intuit. And this is the limit of the film not to openly show up. Then there are various characters all in the shadow of Star even the second husband who is peeked from her first husband with binoculars. The background is conversely a spa that is a fascinating and miraculous Portuguese place. And on this point the protagonist declares its skepticism. The final sad puzzled, and do not reveal.
Instead the selection of Un Certain Regard point
Gives LIFE INVISIBLE EURYDICE GUSMÃO (THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF EURYDICE GUSMÃO) Karim AÏNOUZ 2:25 a.m. we expected more. The photography is beautiful, the protagonists are good, but the story does not hold more than two hours. Too bad because it missed an opportunity.
The other film is also seen in women. It is ADAM in Maryam TOUZANI . The story is touching but concerns two lives of two women marked by events that get together and help. To make up for the failings of the adult daughter comes to the rescue as soon as a child of one of them to sew up the wounds.
Instead of the other two titles CHAMBRE 212 di Christophe HONORÉ e ZHUO REN MI MI (NINA WU) Midi Z will refer to the end of the Festival.
Finally we with such pleasure of a movie FORTNIGHT Chinese young Johnny But that Huo zhe chang zhe (To Live to Sing) Chinese theatrical art tells us of a time than right now for various reasons (not least the wild ride in construction) It suffers the consequences of the "modernization" by the only party.
