Kicking off the Cannes Film Festival, “Jeanne du Barry,” is a sensitive and surprisingly low-key portrait of the French monarch’s last mistress. – Variety

☞THE MOVIE:
When Blanche Renard meets Greg Lamoureux, she believes she has found the one. The ties that bind them grow rapidly; they are caught up in a great passion. Ignoring her fears, Blanche abandons her family and her twin sister, Rose, with dreams of reinventing herself – and little by little finds herself caught in the grip of a deeply possessive and dangerous man. A man whose true nature she is too ashamed, too afraid, to reveal. There are only two ways out. Either his victim will break, or she will free herself… – Official Synopsis
“Exploring how this puzzle of domination and control takes shape, piece by piece, starting with the corners and the edges, with expert use made of ellipses (based on a brilliant screenplay), Valérie Donzelli paints a poignant picture of Blanche’s increasingly unbearable torment, made worse by her feelings of guilt and her realization of the gravity of the situation.” – Cineuropa

☞THE MOVIE:
When the easygoing would-be novelist Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) meets the tempestuous Betty (Béatrice Dalle, in a magnetic breakout performance) in a sunbaked French beach town, it’s the beginning of a whirlwind love affair that sees the pair turn their backs on conventional society in favor of the hedonistic pursuit of freedom, adventure, and carnal pleasure. But as the increasingly erratic Betty’s grip on reality begins to falter, Zorg finds himself willing to do things he never expected to protect both her fragile sanity and their tenuous existence together. Adapted from the hit novel 37°2 le matin by Philippe Djian, Jean-Jacques Beineix’s art-house smash is a sexy, crazy, careening joyride of a romance that burns with the passion and beyond-reason fervor of all-consuming love. – Official Synopsis

“Feverish tale of amour fou…” – Variety

☞THE MOVIE:
“Eight years after his last film, Michel Gondry is back with an alter-ego tortured by burlesque afflections. Marc, a bipolar and paranoid filmmaker, cannot tolerate seeing his current project picked apart by his producers. The clips he’s been able to sneak a look at lead him to fear the worst. With his editor as an accomplice, he manages to spirit away the rushes to his aunt’s place in the Cévennes, to finish the film as he envisions it. Instead, its completion is constantly postponed, as he creates endless diversions and impasses, which alternate between the comic and the downright disturbing.” – Synopsis
“The Book of Solutions” is — first and foremost — a high-energy ode to the joys of being possessed by a creative spirit, and the pleasure that Gondry takes in telling a plot-light story that’s driven by pure invention is both palpable and contagious. – Indiewire
