Festivals are not dinosaurs / day
The Cannes Film Festival and its program are in good art – it can be concluded as early as the second day, when several main competition films, which are nineteen in total, are seen. The festival will take place until May 24, with a jury -led jury of actresses, choosing one cinema that will get Golden palm branch. Last year it was received by Shah Baker Dramedia Anora (2024) which, until recently Oscar The presentation was surprised by the best film prize.
I don’t want to discuss the way Anoras success was instrumentalized in Russia a la « The Russians are loved in the West ». Nevertheless Anoras and Ginta Zilbaloža Tire (2024), which also received Oscarbalva, will apply what is essential: festivals are important. They exacerbate attention. Their existence matters. They do not die – it is whispered to both the main contest works and A special look The competition where the gray cat started its Odyssey last year. This year, Ves Anderson, Linna Remzia, Jilly Dikurno, Richard Linkleiter and many other authors have come to the horizons of the program.
The main competition includes the historical drama of Ukrainian origin director Serhi Loznica Two prosecutors/Two Prosecutors (2025) – The film brings in 1937, at the time of the Stalinian terror, when a new prosecutor Kornev (role Oleksandr Kuznetsov) in the naivete, which alternates with targetedness, fights the system. What do Loznica starts with this? Being a documentary after the feeling, he does not bother the film’s director’s style with staging – Loznica sees the static shots in a sequence, the visual rows of the visual rows, like Meek/a gentle creature (2017) and other acting in his acting. Slow but inevitable movement. In the alienated work, where the interiors of Stalin’s time have mausoleum -like outlines, tensioning dynamics are associated with acting (Andris Keish, Valentine Novopolsky, etc.). Two prosecutorsWhat is currently being announced as one of the top prize winners is the co -production of France, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Romania and Lithuania.
Along with this in cans, there is another cinematic work related to Latvia – the full -length debut of Kristen Stewart Water Chronology/Chronology of Water (2025), partially admitted here and also arrived A special look in the contest. Significantly, this year, other actors, such as Haris Dikinson with drama, debut with their directories Hedgehog/urchin (2025) and Scarlett’s Johansson with a eibrary vaccine Great Eleonora/Eleonor The Great (2025).
Stewart’s atmospheric drama Chronology Followed by Lithuanian American author Lidia Yuknavich’s novel structure with the same name. The film is in the center of the author alter ego Lydia (Imodgin’s Blow), whose life and relationship patterns have been influenced by domestic violence. The stewardess’s debut, unfortunately, enters the area, called standard situations and clichés: deep -minded glances, a voice of Els and behind -the -scenes, before swimming in the pool. Here there are poetic generalizations and the actor’s body singing.
What does Latvia increase in Cannes? The road that is going is worth it and the bones of the festival are not yet placed in museums.

78. Movies of Cannes Film Festival to wait for in Latvia
Phoenic Scheme/The Phoenician Scheme (2025)
In recent years, American author Vesa Anderson celebrates his style of perfection, with monotony and fatigue. One percent or billionaire’s work on Anatol’s « Jazz » Cord’s legacy is suffering from all the familiar symptoms and the density of like -minded people (Benisio Del Toro, Scarlett Johansson, Willem Defo, etc.) – without surprises.
When: on screens from 30.V
Sentimental value/ sentimental value (2025)
Norwegian Festival Luttle Jakima Trier (The world’s worst person/The Worst Person in the World (2025), etc.) Collaboration with excellent actress Renati Reinsvi continues. In the work included in the main competition, the director brings the film to the film, meeting actresses and director (Stellans Skashgord) – the author himself has submitted this work as a continuation of Ingmar Bergman.
When: On the screens in the fall
Love that remains/The Love That Remains (2025)
Icelandic Chlinurs Palmason (Godland/ Godland (2022), etc.) seems to have done what every director wants – to make cinema at home with their closest people, like -minded people on the freedom of action close to them. As a result, the marriage frescoes in the fascinating Icelandic seaside landscape – a glamorous, humane drama and comedy turn, which is probably one of the best films of the year. Loud words but deserved.
When: On the screens in the fall
