Cannes Diary: First three-hour instalment of Costner’s old-school western is confounding; Kinds of Kindness may be Yorgos Lanthimos’s weakest film
Cannes 2024: Kevin Costner’s epic sprawl, Julianne Moore’s return and Kermit’s green coatBarry Keoghan on playing a working-class dad: ‘I see a lot of traits in Bug that remind me of home. He’s a pure chancer’invited her to discuss a possible Oscar campaign. When he tried to assault her sexually, she ran. Last February she filed official complaints against director Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon. She also set up an email for ordinary women to talk about their abuse experiences.
There are shades of Olivia Colman’s Queen Anne and the Dogtooth patriarch in Willem Dafoe’s Raymond, an ill-defined chief executive who demands that his hapless employee Robert obeys an extensive list of psychosexual demands, including secretly feeding his wife abortifacients. Everything falls apart when Robert rebels against a request to cause an automobile accident. Desperate pleading ensues.
The Substance allows her to birth Margaret Qualley’s Sue, who takes over Elizabeth’s exercise empire. The instructions are clear: the women must share their existence on a week-on, week-off basis. The striving, self-involved Sue soon has other plans. If you’re squeamish about spinal taps, blackening fingernails, tooth-pulling to the roots, or randomly decaying body parts, this may be too wild a ride. The film’s whooping 13-minute standing ovation, however, suggests there’s enough levity and savage wit to keep a huge crowd onside. Betting folks are already looking at Demi for best actress or maybe even the Palme d’Or for best film. Deservedly the most popular competition title thus far.
