Bruno Dumont arrived at the Directors’ Fortnight in the play-off, after his absence was one of the most famous after the announcement of the candidates for the largest annual film competition and portrait of the state of world cinephilia. The Frenchman thus returns to the Croisette just a year after the recently released in our cinemas ‘La alta sociedad’ (‘Ma Loute’) competed for the Palme d’Or, and again promises his signature stamp, although in this occasion double the bet.
The director of the revealing ‘La Vie de Jesus’, returns us to the arid lands of the northern Gallic where he seems to feel at home, in his portrait of people as peculiar as his own sense of humor, and brings us closer in a free reinterpretation and musical (!) to the childhood of a young Joan of Arc. Waiting for the arrival of ‘Jeannette, l’enfance de Jeanne d’Arc’ in theaters, we review some of the features that characterize the filmography of the French filmmaker.
