The three films scheduled to be unveiled on the eighth day of the Cannes Film Festival are Jean-Luc Godard’s Goodbye To Language, Michel Hazanavicius’ The Search, and André Techine’s In the Name of My Daughter.
Goodbye to Language is notable for being the first 3D feature from Godard, the 83-year-old French New Wave legend. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the highly experimental film is made up of random images of a dog, a naked couple, a ship docking, blood going down a drain, and “lots”; of footage of Hitler. “I am here to tell you no. And to die,”; a voice says at one point, which has led some to speculate as to whether or not the film is intended to be Godard’s last.
The Search is Michel Hazanavicius’ follow up to his Oscar-winning The Artist. It stars Bérénice Bejo (Hazanavicius’ wife) as a human rights worker during the Second Chechen War. The early reviews describe it as everything that The Artist was not—raw, violent, brutal, and deadly serious.
In the Name of My Daughter is a French crime drama starring Catherine Deneuve as a casino owner and Guillaume Canet as the playboy lawyer who murders her daughter. It is based on a true story.
