HOPE di Na Hong-jin e FJORD di Cristian Mungiu - Daily Cannes #7

Seventh day and there's a film that gets a standing ovation—and there's a reason why. Buy "Making Movies Is Hell": https://bit.ly/InfernoUTET Hope by Na Hong-jin—the director of The Korean Prisoner and The Wailing—brings to competition a film set in a border area with North Korea, featuring a small, marginalized community and a provincial policeman at the center of something much larger. Na Hong-jin plays with genre—action, dark humor, horror—with a freedom that very few others can afford. The film builds to a breathtaking intensity, even if the visual effects aren't always up to par. Fjord by Cristian Mungiu—the director of 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days—is instead the story of a young woman investigating a community of Christian fundamentalists in Northern Europe: more sober, highly intelligent. Then there's Arthur Harari's The Unknown, a very beautiful film that deserved more attention than it received.
