Cannes Day Nine: The Waymo Scene
from Stories in Motion · host D & J
Film forty-two of the festival and Andy Garcia's Diamond has one of the best setups at Cannes this year: a 1940s gumshoe nearly flattened by a self-driving car in modern LA. It's a perfect image. The next 118 minutes can't match it. We talk about what great noir requires that this film was too fond of its own protagonist to provide, and why this cast deserved a sharper script.
