These are the best films from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, from ‘The Substance’ and ‘Anora’ to ‘Kinds of Kindness’ and ‘On Becoming a Guinea Fowl’.
It was always going to be difficult for the 2024 Cannes Film Festival to compete with its previous edition, given that that instalment featured the premieres of everything from future Oscar winners Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest to May December, Killers of the Flower Moon and How to Have Sex. This time around, there were quite a few big, ambitious swings which – at least for me – didn’t quite hit the mark and a handful which proved to be absolute clangers .
It’s an incident which prompts an overblown performance of grief from all the older women in her family – including her mother, who literally collapses to the ground as she processes the news – but Shula and her two cousins, the sweet-natured young Bupe and the loose canon Nsansa , remain unmoved. As the narrative slowly unspools, we learn how their uncle manipulated and groomed the three of them – and we see how his extended family rushes to shore up his legacy.
