Schedules change when you have so many movies to choose from while you’re in Cannes. Of course you’re going to see all the most anticipated titles, but when faced with the decision to either see a film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival such as Magic Magic as I had planned or a French film starring Mads Mikkelsen as a 16th century horse dealer that raises an army and puts his country to fire and sword in order to have his rights restored, it’s hard not to choose the latter when who knows when you’ll get a chance to see it again.
The latter film I mention is Arnaud des Pallières‘ Michael Kohlhaas and along with Mikkelsen it co-stars Mélusine Mayance, Delphine Chuillot, David Kross (The Reader), Bruno Ganz (Downfall), Denis Lavant (Holy Motors) and Roxane Duran and is already set to hit French theaters this July.
In preparation for my review I thought you might like to see a clip, which establishes the story described above, along with a look at the poster and you can click here for a peek at a few more pictures from the film.
