Welcome back for day 3 of our podcasts from Cannes 2019. Joining us on the Riviera for today’s episode are Bruno Dequen, critic and Director of Programming at Rencontres Internationales du Documentaire de Montréal and Eric Hynes, Film Comment contributor and Curator of Film at the Musuem of Moving Image. Along with host and FC Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold, the two dive into the depths of Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles’s Bacarau, which Dequen describes as “The Most Dangerous Game if it were co-directed by Reygadas and Robert Rodriguez.” They also discuss Mati Diop’s Atlantique, a love-story focused on the intertwined lives of North African immigrants to Europe, Monia Chokri’s A Brother’s Love, and the documentary programming (or lack thereof) at the festival.
