I couldn’t get into the 3 pm Grand Lumiere showing of Sean Baker’s film, Anora, on a last-minute basis. I’ll be catching a Costa–Gavras doc in 45 minutes, and then trying again for the Baker at a 7:30 pm Bazin pool press screening. If I can’t get in for the second time I’ll just wait for the 10:30 pm showing of Paolo Sorrentino’s Parthenope at the Debussy.
This is the eighth day and I’m sorry but festival energy is dropping all over. I’m looking at three mostly dead days before I fly back on Saturday. I wish they would screen more competition repeats.
