DAILY FILMS FOR CANNES MAY 21st
IN COMPÉTITION
THE MAN I LOVE by Ira Sachs at 08:30
Runtime: 1h35
Set in the vibrant era of late 80s New York, the film follows Jimmy George, a Downtown performance artist in an extraordinary moment between great illness and death when, still, all beauty and love is possible.
NOTRE SALUT by Emmanuel Marre at 11:00
Runtime: 2h35
September 1940. Henri Marre arrives alone in Vichy as the authoritarian regime settles in. Broke, estranged from his family, and carrying copies of his self-published manifesto Notre Salut (Our Salvation), the 49-year-old is determined to secure what he believes is his rightful place in the new administration. In his writing, Henri sets out his patriotic convictions and his engineer’s methodology: efficiency above all. Claiming he wants to help save France after defeat, he does whatever is required to remain useful, serving the machinery of the new order with increasing skill. But he may be pursuing something more urgent: escape from his own ruin.

LA BOLA NEGRA by Javier Calvo & Javier Ambrossi at 18:00

COWARD by Lukas Dhont at 22:00

As the First World War drags on, Pierre, a soldier newly arrived at the front, is eager to prove himself.
