From the terrace of the Dutch Pavilion, Cesar Majorana receives a number of talented Dutch and Flemish filmmakers during this special episode of On the fifth row....
He speaks to the leading actresses of the critically acclaimed Flemish drama Julie zwijgt (Tessa Van den Broeck and Ruth Becquart), and composer Ella van der Woude and make-up & hair designer Evalotte Oosterop join us to talk about their contribution to the Norwegian drama Armand. Producer Thomas Mataheru and director Jörgen Scholtens are in Cannes as representatives of the regional talent programs of Cinesud and New Noardic Wave.
Finally, Cesar speaks with film journalist Noa Johannes (VPRO Cinema Extra) and distributor Hein van Joolen (Gusto Entertainment) about the film that has been keeping everyone in Cannes busy for days: Megalopolis, a $120 million epic by Apocalypse Now director Francis Ford Coppola, who may have really lost his mind and money and created something unsellable.
Op de vijfde rij live from Cannes (2024)
What is it like to debut at the biggest film festival in the world? Why can't Francis Ford Coppola sell his megalomaniac passion project? And what are all those Dutch people doing in Cannes, from directors and producers to composers and make-up & hair designers?
