Alejandro G. Iñárritu visited the Cannes Film Festival for the first time in 2000 for the premiere of his film, "Amores Perros" (2000). One day during the festival, Iñárritu and many other directors were invited for a 7 PM screening of Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" (2000).
Iñárritu and his wife Maria booked a taxi at 6:15 PM. But the taxis were overbooked. So Iñárritu, wearing a tuxedo & his wife, wearing a long dress with high heels had no other choice but to run to reach the theater on time, while the temperature was 95°F. The traffic was heavy. While running, Iñárritu took off his jacket, tie & the first 3 buttons of his shirt. His wife took off her shoes.
Their effort wasn't in vain as they reached the theater at 7:01 PM. They were drenched in sweat. But they both had experience of their lives when they watched the movie.
Here is what Iñárritu said of "In the Mood for Love" (2000):
"For a filmmaker, the experience of entering that legendary [Palais Des Festivals] with 2,000 seats is similar to that of a Catholic boy going into the Vatican. [From] all the way in the back, we watched “In the Mood for Love” on a screen 40 times bigger than us.
Maria and I walked in complete silence for almost 10 minutes [afterward]. We suddenly stopped by the sea. Maria hugged me and started crying inconsolably on my shoulder. And I did the same on hers. “In the Mood for Love” had left us speechless and deeply moved. It was that moment that reminded me why, even when it’s so stupidly difficult sometimes, I wanted to become a filmmaker."

P.S: On this day, 26 years ago, "In the Mood for Love" (2000) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.
Mi recuperación va por buen camino y me siento mucho mejor, pero desgraciadamente aún no estoy listo para poder jugar y por eso tengo que renunciar a la gira de hierba en Queen’s y Wimbledon. Son dos torneos realmente especiales para mí y los echaré mucho de menos. Seguimos trabajando para volver lo antes posible! ❤️
She's right, capitalist profit motives and ideology set strict constraints on what sort of art gets produced. Most radicals simply get blacklisted.
If you want to see revolutionary filmmaking take a look at communist cinema.
La crítica de RESURRECTION de Bi Gan está a punto de alcanzar las 100K reproducciones. Es un dato tan bello y tan positivo (a todos los niveles) que me tiene levitando. La cinefilia siempre resiste.

In 1974, Marina Abramović stood still for six hours and let strangers do anything they wanted to her.
The performance was called Rhythm 0.
Beside her was a table with 72 objects.
Some were harmless: a rose, feathers, honey, bread, wine, and perfume.
Others were weapons: scissors, knives, razor blades, chains, a whip, and a loaded gun.
At first, people treated her gently. They gave her flowers, kissed her, and moved her body like she was a doll.
Then they realized she would not resist.
The crowd began cutting off her clothes, touching her, writing on her skin, and using blades on her body.
Someone cut her neck and drank her blood.
Near the end, a person placed the loaded gun in her hand, pointed it at her head, and pushed her finger toward the trigger.
A fight broke out between spectators. Some wanted the performance to continue, while others realized someone might actually pull the trigger.
That was the moment the room split between those willing to hurt her and those trying to stop it.
When the six hours ended, Abramović started walking toward the audience.
Many of the same people who had touched, humiliated, and hurt her turned away and left, unable to face her as a real person again.
Here’s the first trailer for Asghar Farhadi’s 'Parallel Tales', starring Isabelle Huppert, Virginie Efira, and Vincent Cassel. Inspired by Krzysztof Kieślowski’s 'Dekalog VI', the film will compete in the official selection at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.
