Last Night in Cannes 17 May – Cannes Film Festival 2025
The 17th of May in Cannes was a night of contrasts: from the cinema engaged to the confidential festival, to the most surprising projects of the Quinzaine. A dense evening, under the sign of sharing, reflection and creative energy. Projection of « Orwell 2 + 2 = 5 » Raoul Peck – Intimistic, deep, necessary I had the honour of attending the screening of Raoul Peck's new film, Orwell 2 + 2 = 5, distributed by The Pact. This incisive documentary focuses on the last days of George Orwell, to better draw the contours of a contemporary society under surveillance, conditioned by new languages and power structures. A work that is both sober and fulgurating, and a dreadful news. The evening that followed was like the film: in a small committee, in a discreet and professional setting. A privileged moment of reunion, discussions, where the film team was present. I had the joy of finding a friend actor Eriq Ebouaney, a faithful supporter of the engaged cinema, as well as the great photographer Kriss Dewitte, whose black and white photographs capture with rare sensitivity moments of truth. You can discover his work in the Cannes Festival special edition of The Warp magazine.
