Before unveiling this year's selection, a few words about the 2018 poster?
On the marquee for this year's 57th edition of La Semaine de la Critique,
the defiant Noée Abita, revealed last year in Léa Mysius' Ava.
And what about this year's Jury?
The jury of this 57th edition will be presided by Norwegian director, Joachim von Trier,
whom the public discovered with his Oslo, August 31st.
In this jury, he will be joined by the actors Chloë Sevigny and Nahuel Pérez Biscayart
as well as Eva Sangiorgi and Augustin Trapenard.
How many films have you seen this year?
We received 1,500 short films and watched 1,100 features.
Among the 11 selected features, there are 7 first and 4 second films.
Let's start with the short films in competition.
Lead by Léo Soesanto, the short film selection committee selected 10 films.
MO-BUM-SHI-MIN (EXEMPLARY CITIZEN), by the Korean director Kim Cheol-hwi,
gritty and as epic as the twelve labours of Hercules inside a lavatory.
Another stark confrontation, SCHÄCHER, by the Swiss director Flurin Giger,
is an intense allegory on the passage of time and death.
We are out in the streets with the Chilean director, Felipe Galvez's fierce RAPAZ (RAPTOR),
which captures popular outrage in real time with a mobile phone.
We then go on a journey with the Algerian director Elias Belkeddar's UN JOUR DE MARIAGE (A WEDDING DAY),
a beautiful melancholic tale about exile and the city of Algiers.
Then, we move on to two perspectives on family,
first with the otherworldly and offbeat humour of TIIKERI (THE TIGER), by the Finnish filmmaker Mikko Myllylahti,
followed by the Russian director Michael Borodin's YA NORMALNIY (NORMAL),
a shrewd study of heredity and social pressure.
Afterwards, two films very much inspired by pop culture:
AMOR, AVENIDAS, NOVAS by the Portuguese director Duarte Coimbra, a sophisticated, elegant romantic comedy,
and Greek filmmaker Jacqueline Lentzou's HECTOR MALOT - THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR,
an exquisite, impressionistic portrayal of a young woman.
Finally, two French films, by two radically different filmmakers:
Charlène Bourgeois-Tacquet's hilarious PAULINE ASSERVIE (PAULINE, ENSLAVED)
revisits Barthes' A Lover's Discourse : Fragments at the age of texting,
while Camille Lugan's LA PERSISTENTE is an impressive bikers' western infused with fantasy.
La Semaine de la Critique will keep supporting these 10 talented filmmakers,
by offering them the opportunity to be part of the Next Step programme,
a training and support workshop towards their first feature film.
3 key moments in this edition, 3 special screenings, including the opening film
the much anticipated first film from the actor Paul Dano, WILDLIFE.
With his first feature film, WILDLIFE, Paul Dano asserts himself as a filmmaker.
Inspired by one of Richard Ford's novel, which takes place in the 60's,
the film, taking the point of view of a teenager,
conveys brilliantly how an American family falls apart
as the absence of the husband pushes the wife to take her future into her own hands.
Paul Dano's take on Jake Gyllenhaal's and Carey Mulligan's characters is profoundly compassionate.
And what are the other special screenings?
In his first feature film, SHÉHÉRAZADE, Jean-Bernard Marlin leads us down the mean streets of Marseille,
shadowing the excluded youth trapped into the vicious cycle of delinquency.
Zachary loves Shéhérazade, a young woman who works as a prostitute.
A breathtaking love story portrayed by non-professional actors whose truthfulness is tantalizingly realistic.
NOS BATAILLES (OUR STRUGGLES) is the second feature by the Belgian director Guillaume Senez,
who we discovered with his film Keeper.
Olivier, a staunch activist within his company, suddenly finds himself confronted to his role as a father
when his wife abandons their home.
This wonderful portrait of a man seeking balance between family life and union activism
highlights Romain Duris' deeply moving and truthful performance.
And now, the 7 feature films in competition
FUGA (FUGUE), the second feature film by Polish director
Agnieszka Smoczynska, who debuted with The Lure,
tells the story of a woman's impossible return to her family life,
infusing this psychological thriller with fantasy.
Thanks to its brilliant directing and powerful interpretation,
the film conveys the insanity-driven anguish that will upset the family balance.
The second film of the Icelandic director, Benedikt Erlingsson, WOMAN AT WAR,
is an infectiously energetic film,
much like its female hero who fights a war on her own to protect an endangered planet.
Funning, invigorating, ingenious,
this endearing portrait of a what first appears to be just another woman is nothing short of delightful.
We are now left with the first feature films, and let's kick off with a French first feature.
SAUVAGE, Camille Vidal-Naquet's first French film,
follows the fate of a young man looking for love in the rarely seen in films world of male prostitution.
The ruthless, Pasolini-esque realism of the film brings a tragic dimension to this potent and heart-rending film.
Compelling as he embodies his hypersensitive character,
Félix Maritaud, discovered in 120 battements par minute, delivers a heart-breaking performance.
In the exhilarating and delightful DIAMANTINO, their first Portuguese feature film,
Gabriel Abrantes and Daniel Schmidt imagine a famous football player everybody lusts after.
An outlandish, ingenuous and funny comedy on the world of football and gigantic long-haired dogs
that portrays the nation in dire need of heroes.
In her first film, CHRIS THE SWISS, Anja Kofmel offers an original blend of documentary and animation.
She investigates the story of her cousin, who was found assassinated in the midst of the war in Yugoslavia.
This potent film transforms the work of journalistic investigations into a nail-biting narrative
and offers an astounding new perspective on a recent armed conflict.
The Indian director Rohena Gera debuts with the good-hearted SIR,
and toys with the conventions of romantic comedies.
She describes the budding relationship between a young, open-minded bourgeois young man
and his housekeeper who is seeking emancipation, interpreted by the wonderful Tillotama Shome.
SIR is a subtle and very moving reflection on the capacity of love to upset the status quo.
EGY NAP (ONE DAY), the first feature film by the Hungarian director Zsofia Szilagyi,
explores the life of a couple living under the yoke of routine.
24 hours in the life of a mother, caught in the relentlessness of daily life,
between her work, her home and her children.
A taut tale that reveals a woman's intimacy as she is looking to strike some sort of a balance.
Once again this year, a special screening is dedicated to short films
This special screening opens the way for aesthetically radical perspectives,
towards new worlds, their wonders and darkest mysteries.
The Greek director, Yorgos Zois' fascinating THIRD KIND is a fable
where the real life of refugees is transmogrified by science-fiction.
Boris Labbé's Dantean LA CHUTE uses the power of animation to portray a Hieronymus Bosch-like hell,
whereas Bertrand Mandico's demented ULTRA PULPE summons the Apocalypse, both in love and on a film set.
The end of one world begets other worlds… As only cinema allows it.
Another key moment of this 57th edition is the feature screened for the closing night.
We will finish this 57th Semaine de la Critique with GUY, Alex Lutz's second feature film.
His strikingly truthful interpretation gives life to a once famous entertainer, now on his way out.
GUY is a surprising comedy, both caustic and endearing
as it tackles our fascination with pop music and the passage of time.
The competition of these 10 short films and 7 features will take place under the watchful eyes of the jury,
who will give out the Nespresso Grand Prize, the Louis Roederer Foundation Rising Star Award for best actor
and the Leica Cine Discovery Prize for best short film.
La Semaine de la Critique will take place from May 9th to May 17th, in Cannes.
Thank you Charles Tesson.
Thank you.
