Edington shines the political debate through the discussion at the Cannes Festival

The feature film “Edington“It generates a political discussion inside and outside the Cannes Festival, where it was shown on Friday (16). The movie, the championship championship Joaquin Phoenix (“” Joker “) and Pedro Pascal (“Last of us”), directed by Aryster (“Al -Raithi” and “Missomar”).

The criticism of the feature film ranges from “boring” and “annoying” to “funny” and this “I am crawling”. Nevertheless, ASTER revealed at a press conference in Festival Festival FestivalThis Saturday (17), who has not yet seen any of the reactions published about his movie.

“I was deliberately avoiding the discussion about the movie,” he said. CNN During the press conference. “My head is likely to dive into the swamp and see what is happening against hell, or something like that, but I haven’t done it yet.”

In addition to Phoenix and Pascal, “EdingtonIt is a heroism Emma Stone (“La La Land”) H Austin Bitler (“Elvis”) is done in a small town of New Mexico during the first days of Covid-1.

Police for its interpretation Phoenix It is confused about the policies of disguise and hysteria that appear among the population, while Pascal mayor follows the line (while carrying out doubtful businesses with large technology companies to build a data center around the city).

His differences are before the epidemic, rooted in his relationships with Sharif’s wife, Emma’s remote stone and depression clearly.

The small town drama is expanded through news events, especially the death of George Floyd and the next protest movement. Aster fits all kinds of controversial topics: identity policy, social media bubbles, fake science attacks and magic with conspiracy theories, all of which facilitate the widespread erosion of the truth in the digital age.

The film proves a strong Rorschach test. Less than 24 hours after it appeared for the first time, there is a lot of online debate about the place where “Eddington” stands politically, with commentators of all the threads – some without even seeing it – on the pretext that the film talks about them.

Aster said: “I wanted to draw a picture of the society in which we live now.” “I did not want to link myself to ideology, story or system of beliefs, because it is very limited. This is not the point, as you know? The film was designed to be mysterious in certain ways.”

“For me, the film revolves around what is happening when people who live and live in their facts conflict with each other,” ASTER. “When you start colliding with each other, a new logic is created, and from this people begin to inflate each other’s fears.”

He said: “I wrote this film in a state of fear and anxiety around the world.” “I wanted to try to retreat and show what is like living in a world that no one can agree on on what is real.”

“In the past twenty years, we have fallen into excessive coordination … that social power that used to be essential for liberal mass democracies – an awakening version of the world – this has gone now.”

“Cofide seemed to be the moment when this bond was finally cut off,” said Aster. “I wanted to make a movie about what America looks like for me and how it seemed to me at the time.”

Journalists pressed the actors and the director more than once on the current situation of America. One of them asked whether the actors were afraid of revenge for films with political messages.

“Fear is the way they win,” Pascal said. “So continue to tell stories, continue to express yourself and continue to struggle to be who you are.

“My parents are refugees from Chile. I was a refugee myself. We escaped from the dictatorship. I had the honor to grow in the United States after resorting to Denmark. If I didn’t know what would have happened to us,” Pascal, who answered the other question about the immigrants in Latin America. “Therefore, I defend this protection, always.”

Until another journalist asked if there was only a civil war awaiting America. “

“I am not talking English,” he said, jokingly, before responding. “I think we are on a dangerous path, and I feel that we are facing a wrong experience that has been wrong. It is not well and it seems that there is no way out … (that) may stop or stop temporarily because it does not work, but of course no one is really interested in stopping it.”

Festival is not strange to a mixture of art and politics. The 1968 historical edition presented protests led by director Jean -Luke Godard, who was forced to close the festival. Time has proven that it is cute with Goddard, of course, that this will be scared at Cannes this year with “Nouvelle Vague” by Richard Lincaloter, which rebuilds the efforts of the mysterious director in Nouvelle to make the movie “A Bout De Souffle” in 1960.

The first edition, the first since the president’s return Donald Trump In his position, he already kept, and perhaps definitely, looking at the news. On the opening night, Robert de NeroReceive a gold Al -Fakhry, Trump criticized, describing him as a “Palestinian president.”

“In my country, we are strongly struggling for the democracy that we took one day guaranteed,” he told the audience, who formed great names in the international cinema community.
