The following is a synopsis of the award-winning film at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
Titane:
Newcomer Agathe Rousselle plays Alexia, who was in a car accident as a child as a result of her father's carelessness. As a result of the accident, Alexia's head had to be implanted with titanium plates. Alexia works as a dancer. Here he gets abused, and makes him retaliate cruelly. As a result of this incident Alexia runs away. He did various extreme ways to change his identity so he could be like a boy.
The film Titane will be shown at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival on July 14, 2021. However, unfortunately this film has not officially announced when it will be shown.
Nitram
The selection of Justin Kurzel's "Nitram" for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival is guaranteed to create a stir in Australia.
Written by Shaun Grant, the film is based on the infamous 1996 Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania, in which 35 people were killed and 23 injured. Kurzel's retelling was conceived to avoid directly depicting the murders and to avoid using the killer's name. His disguise, however, was deliberately thin. "Nitram" is the reverse spelling of Martin Bryant from the Port Arthur assassins.
On the one hand, "Nitram" will be celebrated as the first Australian film in the prestigious mainstream for six years. On the other hand, placing the film on a pedestal risks reopening the wounds caused by the mass killings it depicts but doesn't fully cover. This film has not officially announced when it will be shown globally.
A Hero
The film stars Amir Jadidi as Rahim, a father of one who is on two days' leave from prison in the city of Shiraz, where he is serving time for debt.
He has no job, and no money to repay a debt owed to a shopkeeper, Bahram (Mohsen Tanabandeh), his ex-wife's miserly brother. However, he has the support of his kind sister and husband, as well as Farkhondeh (Sahar Golddust), as well as the girl he wants to marry. During his brief release from prison, Farkhondeh found a handbag at a bus stop containing 17 gold coins. Rahim considered selling the find, but relented when he realized it would not cover the money he had.
Instead, when his conscience nudges him, he tries to find the bag's owner, a dignified act that brings him television fame and even a local charity that gives him a possible post-prison job. finished. The only child, Rahim, who is quiet and sensitive with a speech impediment, is happy with his father's success. The film is planned to be released on December 22, 2021 in France.
