One of lime and one of sand in the eighth day of the official section of the Cannes film festival.
On the one hand, Jean-Luc Godard continues to surprise and in what way, spectacular reception of his new film «Adieu au langage«.
The new work by one of the precursors of the Nouvelle Vague has been, for the moment, the best valued of the contest and it is that, five decades after the French cinematographic revolution, Jean-Luc Godard he has not lost the capacity for surprise.
The good reception of this film at the Cannes Film Festival contrasts with the debacle of Michel Hazanavicius who presented his new work «The Search«. The first he has performed since he swept the Oscars in 2012 with the genuine "The Artist."
The Frenchman's new job had created great expectations. "The Search" was in the spotlight of international critics and they have not hesitated to charge against it in the slightest.
Just as "Adieu au langage" is the highest rated at Cannes at the moment, the new work by Michel Hazanavicius is the worst. It seems that with this everyone has forgotten the great nonsense of Atom Egoyan and his film in competition "The Captive", the other film in the contest that has not obtained critical approval.
