The Cannes Awards 2025
A rundown of the Cannes Awards 2025 with some disapproving comments. Also, a few approving ones. #Cannes2025
Cannes Film Festival
Sentimental Value Joachim Trier
A review of Sentimental Value by Joakim Trier. The film is Sentimental, but has little real value. Trite and portentous, it is bound to be a hit, not least in the US.
Alpha by Julia Ducournau
A review of Alpha, Julia Ducornau’s misguided follow-up to the Palme d’Or winner Titane 2021. Not even her fans liked this one.
Eagles of the Republic by Tarik Saleh
A review of Eagles of the Republic by Tarik Saleh. The last part of the Cairo trilogy. It’s, expectedly, not cinematically intriguing
Miroirs No. 3 by Christian Petzold
A review of Miroirs No. 3. The latest film by Christian Petzold, which was uninteresting even by his standards #Cannes2025
Eddington by Ari Aster
A review of Eddington by Ari Aster. If this film doesn’t convince you that Aster is a hack, nothing will. Premiered in the 2025 Cannes competition.
