Monday, May 18Monday, May 18László Nemes at Cannes 2026 László Nemes, known for his Cannes debut *Son of Saul* (2015), presents *Moulin* in this year’s competition—a conventionally structured wartime drama about French Resistance leader Jean Moulin and his torture by Klaus Barbie. While the film employs a sepia-toned, mainstream aesthetic reminiscent of 1970s BBC productions like *Secret Army*, Nemes maintains his signature craftsmanship, delivering strong performances and production design. The film’s sentimental climax is undercut by a sobering nod to the Holocaust, though critics note it lacks the bold experimentation of his earlier works .
Adam Driver at Cannes Adam Driver attended the festival for the premiere of *Paper Tiger*, directed by James Gray, where he reunited with Scarlett Johansson. During a press conference, Driver deflected questions about allegations from Lena Dunham’s memoir, stating he would address them in his forthcoming book. The film, a 1980s-set drama exploring fraternal loyalty and betrayal, features Driver in a weighty role alongside Johansson and Miles Teller .
Javier Bardem at Cannes Javier Bardem, competing for the Palme d’Or with *El ser querido* by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, emphasized the importance of taking moral stands even in fear. He also acknowledged his rivalry with wife Penélope Cruz, who is also in competition at the festival .
Amit Dutta’s Documentary on Eberhard Fischer Indian filmmaker Amit Dutta premiered *Eberhard As Seen By Amit* at the Cinéma du Réel festival, a documentary exploring the career of Swiss ethnographer Eberhard Fischer. The film examines colonial legacies in ethnographic research and Fischer’s friendship with Dutta, who is described as a reclusive, poetic filmmaker based in the Himalayas .

Moulin review – László Nemess resistance hero drama is chilling, stirring and surprisingly conventional Cannes film festival: The Son of Saul directors dramatisation of Jean Moulins torture by Klaus Barbie both benefits and suffers from its mainstream approachLászló Nemes made his Cannes debut 11 years ago with the terrifying, Oscar-winning Holocaust drama Son of Saul, and followed that up with Sunset, his elegant, mysterious drama of pre-first world war Budapest. His next film, Orphan, released in the UK last week, was a comparably enigmatic film set in post-second world war Hungary. But his new film in the Cannes competition is a basically pretty conventionally acted, conventionally directed, conventionally conceived wartime movie shot in the sepia-subdued colours of an old photograph, all about French resistance heroism and French resistance leader Jean Moulin, who went down in history for refusing to talk under torture.The overall effect isnt really like Jean-Pierre Melvilles film Army of Shadows; maybe closer to the 70s BBC TV show Secret Army. Nemess final scene is even rather sentimentally stirring, though the director then tries to cancel this sugary moment with a final premonition of the death camps. At all events, he undoubtedly brings impeccable craftsmanship, and the performances and production design are strong. Continue reading...

Paper Tiger review – Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson reunite for heavyweight James Gray saga The Marriage Story stars team up with Miles Teller for this sombre and impressive story of shady dealings in 80s New YorkWith this muscular, heartfelt and sombre new picture set in 1980s New York, James Gray again resurrects the spirit of Elia Kazan in a blue-collar tragedy of fraternal loyalty and betrayal; a movie about men and their horror of appearing weak and failing to protect their families. Paper Tiger has that distinctive Gray colour palette: a perpetual late-afternoon autumn of subdued ochres, reds and browns. And there are his keynote family supper scenes, the characteristic presence of the Russian community in New York, and the potent, tribal codes of the NYPD: part mob, part trade union, part masonic clan whose membership responsibilities and perks go on well after retirement.Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller give weighted, intelligent performances at the films centre: all three characters, in their different ways, have Springsteenian hungry hearts. Teller is Irwin Pearl, a modest, working-class guy who is a qualified engineer in Queens, doing well at his trade but still concerned about paying for his teen sons – Scott (Gavin Goudey) and Benjamin (Roman Engel) – college education. Hes married to Hester, played with forthright authority by Johansson, sporting frizzy hair and glasses that make her look like one of the Golden Girls. Continue reading...

Friendship between Indian filmmaker and Swiss-based historian comes alive on film By tracing the career of the ethnographer and art historian Eberhard Fischer, a key figure at Zurichs Rietberg Museum, the Indian filmmaker Amit Dutta sheds light on the tensions between ethnographic research, colonial legacy and the search for a fair perspective on Indias traditions. When Eberhard Fischer takes the floor, visibly moved, after a special screening of Eberhard As Seen By Amit in early April at the Cinéma du Réel festival in Paris, he introduces its author, Amit Dutta, as an independent Indian filmmaker based in northern India, in the Himalayan mountains. He describes his long-time friend as a kind of modern hermit, something of a poet, and too prone to motion sickness to accompany his films to festivals. With a smile, Fischer notes that although he has often travelled to India, Dutta has never visited him in Switzerland. In his hand he holds a few pages – copies of emails Dutta sent to him to present the film. I make films to explore and capture a life that ...
