Cannes-Ticker: 25. Mai
"Im Nebel" (Sergei Loznitsa) **
[Wettbewerb]

"A superior, brooding tale of wartime resistance and betrayal. Quiet, compelling, bleak", schreibt Geoff Andrew (Sight & Sound). "Beautifully directed, soul-pummellingly bleak Ukranian war/western hybrid. A notch up from MY JOY", schreibt David Jenkins (Little White Lies). "Much more conventional than MY JOY, and somehow feels simultaneously sparse and bloated. Adaptation issue? (50)", fragt Mike D'Angelo (The A.V. Club). "IN THE FOG is mysterious, compelling and grim", schreibt Peter Bradshaw (Guardian). "Loznitsa makes A Cannes Movie: staggeringly shot, but doomy soldier drama lacks the wit or urgency of WW2 scenes in MY JOY (C+)", schreibt Guy Lodge (In Contention). "Loznitsa's slow cinema Ukranian WWII partisan drama IN THE FOG hits all my buttons at once: loved it", schreibt Nick James (Sight & Sound).

---Entdeckungen---

"Ernest et Célestine" (Directors' Fortnight, Aubier, Patar & Renner): "ERNEST & CELESTINE (by directors of TOWN CALLED PANIC) is one of the most original & delightful animated films I've seen in years", schreibt Colin Geddes (Midnight Madness).

---Bilanzen---

"Final film day, three or four to go, still hoping i'm not at the weakest line-up for half a dozen years", schreibt Nick James (Sight & Sound).

"AMOUR ist der beste Film, aber Reygadas und Carax sind die interessantesten und sollten am Sonntag gewinnen", schreibt Rüdiger Suchsland (Negativ Film).
