    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. Sergejs Loznica’s Two Prosecutors is quiet and reserved, whereas Eddington, despite not being a prototypical Ari Aster experience, is still an Ari Aster experience nonetheless.

    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.

Seeing his name grace a film’s opening credits is probably the most accurate litmus test for cinematic quality, and with Missing Johnny, this cardinal rule of contemporary Taiwan cinema remains the case. Although not void of any imperfections, Missing Johnny serves as a thoughtful examination of modern day existence from first time director Xi Huang.

    When Tom Cruise asks you to trust him one last time, it’s hard to say no. And with life mimicking art, and vice versa, the hope is that everyone will flock to the theaters for Ethan Hunt’s last mission. But as the presumed final entry of a film franchise spanning almost 30 years, The Final Reckoning doesn’t carry the weight of finality one might expect.
