    ⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 2.5 out of 5. In Hollywood, attempts at replicating the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have come and gone over the past decade. Other studios have yearned for both the creative and financial success of the MCU, but, as the saying goes, lightning never strikes twice.

    In what feels like a very natural fit, I’ll be pairing together two of the festival’s opening films as part of my Cannes 2025 coverage: Leave One Day (Partir un Jour), the festival’s opening film at large, and Enzo, which opens up the festival’s sidebar Directors’ Fortnight program. Neither film served as the strongest start to this year’s festival, but both have interesting elements to them nonetheless.

    While The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo sees Diego Céspedes returning to Cannes with his first feature (having previously screened his short films at the festvial), Case 137 is another entry from Dominik Moll, who has competed for the Palme d’Or twice before. Both filmmakers return to La Croisette with fictionalized stories about real life issues.

    As films that criticize a country’s sociopolitical system, Two Prosecutors and Eddington approach this task in markedly different ways.

    The following two films playing at Cannes both explore the collective, and often generation-spanning traumas experienced by women. With A Pale View of Hills, Kei Ishikawa adapts Kazuo Ishiguro’s award winning novel, which recounts the emotional and physical traumas following the Nagasaki nuclear bomb attack. Mascha Schilinski‘s Sound of Falling, on the other hand, is entirely fictional, but explores the lingering impact of death and abuse across a few generations of women.
