While Park Chan-wook ’s The Handmaiden dealt with a lot of sex and kink in its story of a handmaiden who gets into the good graces of her Japanese heiress, only to defraud her, the Korean filmmaker in his latest Decision to Leave , dotes on a detective Hae-Joon (Park Hae-il) who is head over heels with a very possible murder suspect, Seo-rae (Tang Wei). Ya see, it looks like she threw her husband off a mountain. And love being the motif between the two pics, Chan-wook was called to the carpet by the global press today at the Cannes Film Festival to field, “What is love for you?” The refreshing query came in the wake of an immediate press conference for Crimes of the Future in which David Cronenberg slammed U.S. conservative tendencies, in particular Roe vs. Wade. “My life isn’t part of my work,” answered the director, “Some directors talk about their own life.

Bowie’s real project was making art, and rock music and performance are best understood as just some of his modes of artistic expression. Brett Morgen’s documentary Moonage Daydream , which premiered in the Cannes Midnight Screenings section, does supreme justice to Bowie by presenting him above all as an artist intent on exploring not only popular music, but painting, video, writing, dance, and film and … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Brett Morgen’s David Bowie Documentary ‘Moonage Daydream’
