cannes brought us that movie magic. as i mentioned, annette was the opening night film here at cannes and in many ways it was an appropriate choice to open the festival. it had a glamorous french leading lady, the oscar—winning marion cotillard, and it fulfilled the hollywood quotient by having an american actor, adam driver, as its leading man. then there was the director, a man by his own admission very much influenced by the french new wave. having given you all that information, here is nicholas barber with his review of annette for talking movies. what a choice to open this year's cannes film festival, a surreal avant—garde rock opera in which all the dialogue is set to music and the title character is a pinocchio—like puppet. annette is certainly weird and sometimes wonderful. it is a kind of unique, slightly crazy passion project that you want to see here at cannes, but i'm not sure if the film is as exciting in practice as it is in theory. what she sees in me... it's a little more puzzling. driver plays he

your film is screening here in cannes. "mariner of the mountains," charting your journey to algeria for the first time, the birthplacef your father, and you document what you see, but watching the film it feels like it is more about your mother. can you explain the? >> yeah. searching for a fatherland in that sense. algerian fatherland. and it is tied to my mother. there is a feeling that she is always present, and she's an absent character. it is a very personal film but the biggest challenge of making this film, how can i make something personal that is relevant to others? it is coming from a very interesting moment in history, the 1960's. a lot of hope there was in the 1960's, a lot of changes, and the fact that the algerian man meets a brazilian woman in the middle of the united states is something very specific of that moment. so, it is, i think it is about them but it is also about that time, and it's about colonialism and the fight against colonialism. that met and shaped -- they allowed them to meet and shaped the

cannes is traditionally a place where big deals can be struck. far fewer people there this year, more meetings done virtually — does this make a difference?
