Top Comments of this video!! :3
I never really believed that Standing Ovations at Cannes lasted as long as claimed, but as the one you were at for Closer was 16 minutes, is it not weird and awkward, people continuously clapping for a quarter of a hour? 3-4 mins I could just about understand, but with it as long as that it goes beyond natural appreciation to just being automated behavior.

Words cannot express how badly I want to see Aftersun, Broker, Decision to Leave, and Triangle of Sadness.

I think we should not necessarily try to defend movies by saying that they can save the world or change this or that. Recall that on the Titanic, at least in the movie, there were guys playing music even if they knew that they are going to die. Art is just that. It is not supposed to solve your life issues, but make life, with all of its issues, just more enjoyable or bearable. So.... I would not feel guilty of enjoying art when the world is collapsing :) Btw. great clip. It would be nice to see more videos from you about various film festivals, e.g., some in USA.

I watched only 8 films and not all of them were even good, but still I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere itself and people around give such a great vibe, loved it! Totally agree with you about this contrast between the films’ content and the Festival’s atmosphere, but I only realized it while watching your video (guess the atmosphere overrules this thoughts). Great video and nice Mubi recommendation, thanks!

I'll love to see more vlogs like this. I'm also glad you got to go to Cannes, you deserve it for all the good work you have put out over the years

I live in Australia, and something really struck me while I was watching this. I made sure I saw The Northman on opening weekend and the theatre was dead. Thomas mentioned that you get so excited to see a film, only to see it in a half empty cinema. A viewing like that upsets me, and it upsets me that other people are experiencing that in the cinema. Covid has made cinema a much more difficult community pursuit, but it both saddens, and brightens me, that there are people that are still excited to see a film; would be nice if they were near me.

I am so hyped for Triangle of Sadness! My buddy worked on the production as a runner and he told me about so much weird stuff he witnessed!

appreciate hearing your reflections on the experience and looking forward to watching some of these movies, they sound so intriguing.

I dont know why but after listening to your thoughts on the festival it moved me. I'm an inspiring filmmaker and hearing you explaining how much people that go to Cannes are excited about cinema, it gave me hope and it really moved me. Cinema is truly special, it speaks to everybody and so many people are passionate about it, it's fascinating. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for this -- I try and watch many of the films from Cannes once they come to the US but it can be so overwhelming choosing which ones to try and focus on finding in theaters. You've created a very helpful guide as a jumping off point!

I'm so happy I've discovered your channel! Other than YMS' "quickie" videos on cinema I was having a hard time finding engaging movie-related channels that go beyond the classic easy "my analysis on X film " which usually stops at mere plot/narrative related essays. Can't wait to see more on your channel!!

Genuinely interesting and insightful video; the combination of behind-the-scenes and snapshot reviews is excellent. Your attempt at pronouncing French words left a smirk on my lips too :p

"Woody Harrelson plays a Marxist ship caption" is the only pitch ever

Its always a pleasure to watch a video from you.

I loved this video! Chalk me up as another person who'd be interested in more vlogs.
Also: I feel so validated that film scholar Thomas Flight was at Cannes! Congratulations and I hope you had a great time

Really interesting to hear your observations in Cannes. By the way, "d'or' is not like Dior but rather like door.

What an amazing experience 🤩 Cannes is definitely on my bucket list, hope to go one day !
