“Eddington”, Ari Aster, contemporary at the time, with Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal, obtained a standing ovation of 5 minutes during his first at the Cannes Festival.
The distinct commentary on the film on American political and societal discourse has not overwhelmed part of the international whole. In palaces rafters, at least 20 people rushed during the projection. When the credits seemed imminent, many at the top dispersed.
Aster was generally self-fulfilled after the first, saying, “I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what you think. Sorry, I guess? Thank you, I guess?” He followed this by saying: “I feel very privileged to be here. It is a dream come true. Thank you very much for doing me. ”
According to its official synopsis, the film A24 takes place in May 2020 and follows “a confrontation between a sheriff of small town (Phoenix) and the mayor (Pascal)” which “triggers a barrel of powder as a neighbor is opposed to the neighbor in Eddington, in New Mexico”. Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward and Clifton Collins Jr. complete the casting.
“Eddington” is the follow -up of Aster to “Beau is Crerai” from 2023, which also played Phoenix as a paranoid that embarks on a surreal trip to go to the funeral of his mother, facing his biggest fears along the way. Despite the generally positive criticism of criticism, “Beauty is afraid” was considered a box office failure, which earns only $ 11 million. After the first in premiere in Cannes, “Eddington” is planned for a theatrical outing on July 18.
The premiere of “Eddington” Cannes marks the first time that ASTER attends the festival. His first feature film, the favorite of the horror “Hereditary”, lost to the Sundance Film Festival in 2018. “Midsommar”, her second well visualized film with Florence Pugh, and “Beau Is Great” both jumped the festival circuit and went directly to theaters. Aster’s distribution is more familiar with the festival, Phoenix having won its prize for best actor in 2017 for “You’s Never Really Here” by Lynne Ramsay and Stone having attended last year with the “types of kindness” of Yorgos Lanthimos.
The Cannes Film Festival takes place from May 13 to 24.
