Cannnes 2025 – Day 3: a file 137 too school, the perf de Mélanie Laurent, the absence of Fatma Hassona

Every day, the hot point live from the 78th Cannes Film Festival.

The film of the day: File 137 by Dominik Moll

Dominik Moll returns to Cannes competition, 20 years after Lemming25 years later Harry, a friend who wants you good. The night of 12his previous film, the one who put him back in the saddle with his big critical, public success, and his seven César, had to be satisfied with a presentation in the Tout-Tout Cannes Premier section in 2022. The selection of File 137 in competition this year is almost like a posteriori validation of the importance of The night of 12. The two films are also twin: a figure in the title, an obsessive procedural structure, a thriller around a subject of society: after the feminicide of The night of 12police violence during the handling of yellow vests.

The film, inspired by real facts, details the investigation of a cop from the IGPN (Léa Drucker, excellent, as always), who must identify the police who have seriously injured a demonstrator of an LBD shot, in a street near the Champs-Elysées. The subject is serious, and the tone extremely measured, thoughtful, precise, didactic. Pure cinema Screen foldersintelligent and fine, perhaps, but too cautious and edifying, and which gives the feeling that Dominik Moll repeats a formula, when we hoped that his selection in competition was a sign that he had gone to explore more uncomfortable areas.

The perf of the day: Mélanie Laurent

On May 17, 2014, Mélanie Laurent presented her second feature film at the Critique Week, Breathand offered Joséphine Japy the character who was going to change the course of her career. This May 15, 2025, almost 11 years to the day, now the roles are reversed. It’s Joséphine Japy’s turn to pass for the first time behind the camera with Fightinga story inspired by his own little sister with a rare genetic disorder and the blast that this heavy handicap has had on his family. A film of immense sensitivity without a moment pouring into the pathos.

And to play the mother of this child, Joséphine Japy therefore chose to call on … Mélanie Laurent! A mother on the verge of exhaustion, forced to manage what can be as she can then that her husband seems to have chosen to multiply the hours permanently at the office to avoid confronting reality. A role as fascinating as the breeding of the contradictory emotional coaster coaster arises at any time and in all the directions that it transcends with a disarming naturalness and an ever-performative virtuosity. A composition as striking as that of I am well does not worry that had earned him the César of the revelation, carried by the gaze of a director who knows her so well. The art of transmission.

The ghost of the day: Fatma Hassona

A name has been haunted Cannes for three days. That of Fatma Hassona, Fatem, 25, Palestinian photojournalist killed on April 16 by Israeli forces with several members of her family, just two days after the announcement of the documentary selection dedicated to her. Juliette Binoche in her opening speech had mentioned it, recalling that “Fatma should have been with us this evening. Art remains. It is the powerful testimony of our lives, our dreams and we, spectators, we kiss him.»

A name therefore, like the symbol of our helplessness. But since the projection of Put your soul on your hand and walk From Sepideh Farsi, this spectrum, this name has become a face. A face that is now going to obsess us.

Teasing of the day: Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson

It is potentially the biggest Canne buzz in the competition. Die, My Lovethe new Lynne Ramsay, will be presented on Saturday evening on the Croisette. And a first wild extract, teasing an animal relationship between Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, has just been revealed.

This teasing announces a well -barred story. Normal, we are talking about the director of We need to talk about Kevin And A Beautiful Day. Between Trip Arty and Pub for Perfume, this marriage request National Geographic sauce suggests a well -cleavage film which should tear the press and festival -goers. And undoubtedly the writing of the first.

This project brings together the last two Movie Stars of the new generation (J Law and R Patz), with a promise of Glamor which Cannes 2025 has missed. It is also a huge expectation of cinema, with an actor with undeniable talent. Genius or scam? We are already preparing popcorn.

The trip of the day: Sirāt of Oliver Laxe

Ocher sand, majestic cliffs and a wall of speakers that sends big sound. First depopulated, the Spanish film Oliver Laxe (rewarded from the Jury Prize for a certain look for Will come fire in 2019) fills with trance bodies. The electros beats vibrate the framework by jerk. The action takes place in the Moroccan desert. In the middle of the crowd, a man (Sergi Lopez) accompanied by his young son, distributes wanted notices. Her daughter disappeared 5 months ago. Soon the army will dislodge all these little people. The film will therefore tighten around a strip of desperados anxious to find the next rave that will present themselves to them. But the more they sink into the desert, the more the Trip turns into a nightmare. Death lurks, brutal, without summons.

Laxe films the end of a world, the end of the world. Her Sirāt It is Mad Max In saruel, Zabriskie Point Version Punks with dogs… a film-chaos such as the seventies have been laid in the shovel to better include the agony of illusions. In the last part, in the middle of a mines field, two speakers, Kubrickian monoliths, broadcast vibrations to send themselves into the air. Laxe takes its teufeurs to the word and the lunch one by one. Before that, we will have seen a child disappear tragically. Sirāt According to Islamic tradition is the bridge that separates the paradise from hell. The mystic lax here sends waves on the other side of the living.
