Cannes 2024: 'The Second Act' Review

Cannes' opening night film is filled with heavy hitters, including Lea Seydoux, Louis Garrel and Vincent Lindon. It's The Second Act, a very meta comedy about characters in a film who know they're in a film. But the jokes belie writer-director Quentin Dupieux's deep anxieties about cinema's future. My review is here.

A Salute to Vincent Lindon in 'Titane'

Titane won the top prize at Cannes this summer. It's a crazy, provocative mix of horror, sex and masculinity, and it's highlighted by a terrific supporting performance from Vincent Lindon. I'm a big fan of his, especially after his work in Bastards and The Measure of Man, and I hope Titane helps him reach a bigger audience in the U.S. I sing his praises over at MEL.

Cannes 2015: 'The Measure of a Man' Review

It may not be one of the very best films at this year's Cannes, but The Measure of a Man is a movie that's stayed with me, which sometimes at a festival is higher praise. It stars Vincent Lindon as a 50-something man who's been unemployed for about two years, desperate to find work to support his family. This French drama studies how that quest weighs heavy on the character -- the movie is a small little gem of a character study. I reviewed The Measure of a Man for Paste.
