Anne Hathaway is in Cannes, but and Anthony Hopkins to present "Amageddon Time", a film in which James Gray evokes his childhood.
This film, a jewel of sensitivity and tenderness, deserves to be on the list.
The big star of the day at the Cannes Film Festival is Anne Hathaway, who plays the mother of little boy James Gray in the 1980s. The film,
Armageddon Time
, traces the barely fictionalized history of the family of the director in New York's Queens.
“Warmth, humor, love, and loss are the four words I wrote under my camera, confides James Gray to
20 Minutes .
That was my motto for this film.
I wanted to go against the current cynicism.
This is felt in this film which makes you cry and laugh, as if we were sharing with the filmmaker the best moments of his childhood.
A lovely little music
The friendship of the hero, played by the very promising Banks Repeta, with a black kid of his age, and his privileged relationship with his grandfather played by Anthony Hopkins, who unfortunately could not make the trip to the Croisette, bring an infinite freshness to this
Armageddon Time
whose title evokes a speech by Ronald Reagan.
Combined with the always virtuoso staging of James Gray, this gives an intense and delicate work whose little music remains in the heart of the Cannes madness.
