Welcome back to our coverage of the Cannes Film Festival!

We (Patrick and Eliana) look forward to sharing our first reactions and giving a sneak peek at the festival's ongoing films and events.

In this episode, Jakob Jurisch joins us on day two of twelve to discuss the festival's opening film, Le Deuxième Acte | The Second Act (Quentin Dupieux), other festival controversies, and film anticipations.

Coming soon:

• Ma vie Ma gueule | This Life of Mine by Sophie Fillières (Quinzaine des Cinéastes)
• Bird by Andrea Arnold (Competition)
• and more...

For those who are German speakers, you can also find Patrick and Jakob on moviebreak.de and can listen to their German-language podcast coverage here!

Thanks for listening!

Correction: Ma vie Ma gueule English title is This Life of Mine*
