Robert Pattinson – mover and shaker in Cannes

image host

Thierry Frémaux, Cannes Artistic Director, was in Argentina to attend the Cannes Film Festival Week at Gaumont (Rivadavia 1635) (Good Time is screening on 30 November 2017) and Pablo O Scholz from Clarin had a chance to interview him.   Thierry shared the following story about Rob convincing him to be bolder and include Good Time in competition:

A call that can be a discovery

The selection process of the six films of this week of Cannes is, as always, varied. “It depends, for example: The Square that won the Palme d’Or, had already been released. Good Time , from the Safdie brothers, I did not choose it because they are two brothers and I like the brothers in the history of cinema … For me, it was a midnight film for Cannes. But Robert Pattinson called me, his protagonist. “Please, you have to be bolder.” I said, “Are you sure?” “Yes, yes, and I’m going to be in Cannes.” “Well, we do it.” He went well in the competition for the Palm, and now Scorsese is going to produce his next film. That is Cannes. Tradition and discoveries. “
