Film journalists Noa Johannes and Loeke de Waal discuss the film in Cannes that has set everyone abuzz: the American satire Eddington by Ari Aster, in which various groups face each other during the pandemic.
Maartje Wegdam and Nienke Huitenga Broeren, who are in the chic Carlton hotel with their VR documentary Lacuna, talk about how VR and immersive productions are really being taken seriously in Cannes this year.
Director Sven Bresser makes a big impression with his feature debut Rietland, which is included in the Semaine de la critique: that is what The Hollywood Reporter called the drama, about a reed cutter in Overijssel who discovers the dead body of a girl on his land, a 'hidden gem'. It is the first Dutch film in the side competition since The Polish Bride in 1998.
