“Everything starts with a woman who looks after his sheep with a rifle. An image of western, a touch Calamity Janes but is also part of reality … To me truly a peasant told me he kept his sheep with a shotgun in case of attack wolves, “says French director Alain Guiraudie. This image opens the narration of Vertical Rester (Remain upright), the first film in competition at the 69 ° Festival of Cannes, and marks the atmosphere between legend and reality that the director printed his singular feature.
Vertical Rester explains the plight of the French countryside where wolf attacks threaten sheep and goat farmers, but the story centers on Léo, a man in for inspiration for a script. Léo ends up living a series of real experiences and sometimes almost fantastic or mystical, they are putting into discussion topics such as parenting, loneliness, postpartum depression and others polémicosm as assisted death or agricultural crisis, a future of situations can sometimes disorient the viewer.
“I got carried away by Léo … He looks the best wave and decision. It is searching for something to take you to new things. I just kept it, I lived it with everyone, “says Damien Bonnard, the actor who plays him.
Three years ago, Guiraudie surprised the audience with Unknown Lake on a crime that happens in a nudist resort for homosexuals, with explicit sex scenes. This film fascinated critics and became a hit in theaters. Vertical Rester returns to explicit sex with first bold planes and homosexuality with three of his characters.
“After Unknown Lake , I I said let’s explore the female, we will see that black hole, black that continent, said Freud. Was the subject of sex to face a world of pleasure but also of suffering, which is the parent who gives life “continues Alain Guiraudie.
” Sex is something scary, what we can not free ourselves and found good humor speak to that and not always serious. Sometimes we try sex and sexuality in a very serious way, “he says.
The second film in competition projected Thursday is Sieranevada (Sierra Nevada), a film Romanian Cristi Puiu explaining the complex relationships within a family 40 days after the death of the patriarch.
Cristi Puiu explains that “real situation was this dinner after the death of my father. The producer called me in 2012 to see if he had a script and I said no but I had an idea about that dinner. And I realized that the stories of our personal history are truly fiction and thought a film can take any name because the public always make your own fiction. And I chose Sieranevada because I liked its sound. “
Hollywood will be present also with Money Monster , the latest film by Jodie Foster, George Clooney and Julia Roberts, who first comes to the festival.
