The whole thing is oddly stilted, even amateurish at times.
Is Hazanavicius still coasting off his Oscar win forThe Artist, or is he up to something?
I am prepared to be booed, Hazanavicius told Vulture over Zoom the week before the festival.
And maybe some whistles around 20 minutes in.
Were all in the same boat, Hazanavicius said.
Theres not artists and other guys.
Sometimes you make good movies, and sometimes you fail to make one and you make a bad movie.
To premiere this movie on a computer, that doesnt make any sense, the director said.
The films title has had its own tumultuous journey.
Then war crimes got in the way.
They acceded: It has beenchangedtoCoupez!, which means Cut!
Its a lot of geopolitical weight for one little zombie movie to shoulder.
Fortunately, thats about the only pressureFinal Cut, which is competing out of competition, is under.
You dont know how people will react.
Opening night, I come with a big fat comedy.
Its obvious that I want to make people laugh, and thats it.
So its a great privilege.
Perhaps the festival should create its own award to honor films like this.
Call it the Palme doh?
