In this episode of the Scene To Screen movie podcast, A.J. discusses some of the most exciting films that premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Films AJ talks about in this episode:
BLACKkKLANSMAN - It’s the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department. Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan.
The House That Jack Built - Lars von Trier's upcoming drama follows the highly intelligent Jack (Matt Dillon) over a span of 12 years and introduces the murders that define Jack's development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack's point of view, while he postulates each murder is an artwork in itself. As the inevitable police intervention is drawing nearer, he is taking greater and greater risks in his attempt to create the ultimate artwork.
Shoplifters - A Japanese couple stuck with part-time jobs and hence inadequate incomes avail themselves of the fruits of shoplifting to make ends meet.
Burning - South Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong's latest is a romantic thriller in which an aspiring writer and a rich hotshot become rivals for the affections of a charismatic young woman.
Climax - In the mid 90's, 20 urban dancers join together for a three-day rehearsal in a closed-down boarding school located at the heart of a forest to share one last dance. They then make one last party around a large sangria bowl. Quickly, the atmosphere becomes charged and a strange madness will seize them the whole night.
