In Bordeaux, theater directors weren’t fell in love with the Palme d’Or 2023, which only appears in third place among films distributed in theaters in the Metropolis, it’s “Hypnotic” presented in midnight film at Cannes which won the Palme but it seems that the film launched with great publicity is a “turnip” finally, it does not have the favors of the critics. Second affront for the Palme d’Or, it is preceded by the remake of a Spanish film from 2015 “El Deconocido” which here takes the title of “Retribution”. This is how “Anatomy of a Fall” is only visible in six theaters in the Metropolis, which makes us feel that economic imperatives have nothing to do with artistic aspects in cinema. We still find three animated films in the program of the week including a Chinese “The War of the Gods – New Gods: Yang Jian”, “Psycho-Pass: Providence” and “The Smurfs in celebration”. We must not forget “Infiltrated” which enjoys good press.
