I Lost My Mind in the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

I dont know if this will reach you master but I will try anyway. I am a huge fan of your channel. your essays helped me fall in love with classic film directions and I am lucky enough to apply those principles every weekend in a field you may not have covered. Concert filmaking. I have filmed over 500 concerts in small local venues for my community all of them in one single take inspired by your Spielberg analysis and I always benchmark them against your 'The big clock' checklist. It may be interesting to consider this field as it provides a free and easily available training ground for filmakers, you just show up to a bar with the camera in your pocket and start practicing good direction and framing

Well done. I look forward to watching your top 6.

😀Marvelous!!! Very funny. As always.

18 movies in 6 days is 3 movies a day. wtf were you fighting sleep to do?!!!

I hope you asked for your money back.

How many freaking films can you have about the same thing?

Citizen Vigilante shi#ts on all these films

These reviews are 10x more entertaining that anything on offer these days..

This reminds of why I stopped going to film festivals. I hit a critical mass of bad films.

Okay, we just need to get the full ticket list of Cannes attendes to try and figure out where Moviewise is from. If there were no Uzbeks there this year we can strike that one off the list.

I submitted my short film Nuclear Cookie to Cannes.

They said no.

Please turn on the subtitles.

Very accurate.

❤ Thanks for your work. good report. I like your pithy summaries & rye style. Cannes, yet again no outstanding film, as usual.

Very good review of the festival and the movies... It seems to me that it's all about generational trauma, yes, but only generational trauma associated with certain people and certain time... Nothing about the world right now. Not much about what's actually happening to people on daily basis at multiple parts of our planet... Seems so frustrating to me that it almost feels like the second world war is the only war that ever happened... And its victims are the only victims that ever existed.

it's so funny how what you re saying & in the tone, sounds like the critics who loved the movies you mentionned....but for transformers, marvel etc..

I thought that was an Antarctic accent but I wasn’t certain.

Disappointed we didn't sneak in the revival screening of The Devils on this list. That's probably more interesting than any of these movies.

That was magnificent.

Could listen to hours of Mr. Moviewise dunking on the creatively bankrupt output that passes for the arthouse at Cannes

Crazy how many of these movies are about an actress/writer/director trying to make art. This kind of metatextuality is always a sign of a cultural cycle running out of steam, IMO (I remember it happening at the beginning of the 00s as well) - actually, I called it several years ago with 'Babylon' so I'm ready for the New Wave of actually fun and exciting movies now please.

I'm going to see La Bataille De Gaulle. Hard pass on all the rest.

It does sound exhausting but I can’t help but envy you the experience of Cannes. Enjoy your well earned rest . . . and then make another video!

The screencap looks like Dusan Makaveyev' s thoroughly bonkers "W.R.: The Mysteries of the Organism." from 1971.

"Another gray could for people to find shapes in"

class

Every time I see Sebastian Stan in Fjord, I keep seeing David Cross.

Thanks for rekindling the conviction I had that todays films are mostly garbage...

Did Moviewwise get dumped recently or something?

Watching your videos is great and enjoyable, but I really miss videos of yours like “you’ll never hear dialogue the same way again”, “the future of cinema is in the past” and “why every film today looks the same” where you present interesting theories, teach about cinema and it’s history and showcase your vast knowledge and outlook rather than critic a specific film or tell about a specific experience. Those are fun too, but the ones I originally mentioned are ones I go back to and simply must show friends and discuss. Ultimately those are the ones that make us view cinema differently and in a more learned and intelligent way. Those are the ones that make us appreciate films more and feel moviewiser

I love how you rank The Black Ball high just tu chop oup it direction 😂

Which television series is great in your opinion?
Mad men or Sopranos

16:07 What descendants, bro?😂

Thanks for this.

As us😮ual. Bracing and provocative. Thanks for schlepping to and through Cannes for us poors who'll never get close.
I hope you'll do a rethink in 8 months after your big brain gets second thoughts.

As usual, brilliant witty analysis--but this time marred by homophobia.

Why don't you tell us what you really think?! lol
Well done! I'm glad you made it there safely in your canoe and I'm happy it held up as an event/experience.

If anyone deserves to be tortured at Cannes, it's Moviewise. I am so happy for you!

His ranking from worst to best are
The Dreamed Adventure
Coward
Gentle Monster
Bitter Christmas
Paper Tiger
Sheep in the Box
The Man I Love
A Man of His Time
Parallel Tales
The Samurai and the Prisoner
Minotaur
Hope
Fatherland
The Black Ball
Moulin
The Beloved
Fjord
De Gaulle: Tilting Iron

I find it hilarious how often you used words like "generational" and "descendants" when talking about homosexual characters, lol.

Seems like most of these have the simple problem of directors and/or writers who don't know how to tell a story. Crazy that the most fundamental thing is apparently the most difficult thing to figure out.

WTF i mean I'm french and everyone here consider "A Man of his time" as a masterpiece hahaha. Fun fact, the french title is "Notre salut" which means "Our Salvation"

I never knew what Cannes was like. From this review, I can infer that is an arthouse slopfest

Why sleep voluntarily when you'll eventually catch a film that makes you sleep? Or multiple films I'd say

Thank you for such an honest description of what happends at these festivals

I wanna go to can es

More Brutal Moviewise honesty - falling asleep at the Cannes and dreaming of David Lean, only to awake and find the nearest inspiration left out of competition.
