Cannes Day Eight: That's Right
from Stories in Motion · host D & J
Film forty of the festival and Almodóvar arrives in competition with Bitter Christmas, a Möbius strip of autofiction about a filmmaker who feeds on the lives of those closest to him. Three writer-directors, one screenplay, no apology. We talk about what makes this ticklingly complex and where it falls short of his greatest work, and why its abrupt ending is the most honest thing in it.
