Cannes Day Nine: We Know That Man

Film forty-three of the festival and Emmanuel Marre's A Man of His Time is the most uncomfortable film we've seen at Cannes. His own great-grandfather collaborated with the Nazis. Not out of evil. Out of ambition and cowardice and a need to belong. Swann Arlaud gives the best performance of the festival. The 80s soundtrack is intentional and correct. This film is a warning addressed directly to the present.
