With the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, this coastal city is once again bustling with filmmakers from all over the world who gather here to watch films and trade at the same time.

Simmons Robinson came out of the theater to see the small crowds coming out at the same time, and the sky was still somewhat bright, and he decided to go to a small café nearby to take a break.

After ordering a latte, he habitually took out a small notebook and pen, wanting to write something, but he didn't know what to write for a while.

As a professional film critic, he has come to Cannes for many film premieres, but he has never encountered this situation today.

There was no red carpet, no crew, and no part of thanking the stage after the end, everything seemed so abnormal.

"What the hell is the crew of "Queen Margot" doing?" Robinson muttered, he also knew that it seemed that in another theater, there was also a movie being released, maybe the crew members were on stage over there?

"The organizing committee actually allowed them to do this." Robinson shook his head and focused on the movie.

To be honest, the film is a bit mediocre, Alexandre Dumas' original book is brilliant, and the background of the Huguenot Wars is huge, but overall there is nothing eye-catching.

The acting skills of the protagonists and supporting characters are very good, but they seem to be decent, just like ...... It's like completing a task step by step.

Thinking of this, Robinson shook his head again, and in his heart he lowered the level of this movie, which was not rated high.

"Hey, Simmons." A voice came, surprised, and then he saw fellow film critic Jean-Claude Rees come and sit down in front of him.

"Claude," Robinson shook his hand, "which movie did you go to?" ”

"Which one else could it be...... Black coffee, thank you," Reese shrugged before instructing the waiter, "It's the 'Queen Margot' that has been in the spotlight lately." ”

"Oh?" Robinson was a little interested, "How's that?" How does it feel? ”

"Not bad," Reese recalled, "the scene was big, the costumes were elaborate, the wedding scene and the carnage scene that followed were excellent, and the actors' acting skills were good, just...... I always feel a little mediocre. ”

"That's right, that's it, it's like they're piecing together the bricks from the drawings." Robinson nodded, "And there's so much to depict in the context of the Huguenot Wars. ”

"You can't say that either, Dumas is like the original, you can't ask the crew to depict anything other than the original," Reese smiled, "at least Vilna's Catherine de' Medici and Isabel's Marguerite, are excellent." ”

"That's right, I loved that confrontation scene, Margaret and Catherine, both actresses were wonderful, second only to the last one." Robinson was also interested.

"That's right, when Margaery asked, the sharpness of that moment almost overwhelmed Catherine." Reece nodded repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I don't think there's anything overbearing, on the contrary, that weakness, forced weakness, makes Margaret look very helpless, echoing the back and forth of holding Joseph's head at the end."

"Wrong, wrong, it is precisely because of that sharpness that the final tragedy seems even more thrilling!"

"I'm sorry, Claude, I really don't think there's anything sharp in those blue eyes, even though Isabel has played a lot of psychotic roles......"

"Wait, what are you talking about? What blue eyes? ”

"Isabel, her trademark blue eyes."

"Hell, when did Isabel have her trademark blue eyes?"

“…… Which Isabel are you talking about? ”

"Isabelle Huppert, is there another heroine in Queen Margot?"

Reese laughed and shook his head as if he thought it was really funny. However, after a few sounds, it was slowly put away, as Robinson looked at him in a daze with a look of disbelief.

"The one you watched...... Is the heroine Isabel Adjani? Reese asked completely subconsciously, and then saw Robinson nodding.

The scene fell into an inexplicable eerie silence, two people, you look at me, I look at you, so for a long time, until the bell sounded in the distance, they cleaned up, and then quickly checked out of the café.

Reese went directly to Robinson's previous theater, and Robinson naturally went to the theater where Reese had been.

Hurrying and hurrying, he finally arrived at the theater before the next show, and with his status as a film critic, he got a movie ticket from the staff.

To his surprise, there were quite a few people like him who came to watch the second game.

"Hello, I'm Daniel Colin, an American journalist." The guy sitting next to Robinson greeted warmly, "You're also a reporter?" Or a film critic? Also came to see the second version of "Queen Margot"? ”

"The second edition of Queen Margot?" Robinson immediately looked curious.

"Yes, you should know that at this film festival, the French film "Queen Margot" was screened in two theaters at the same time, which is never before......" Colin said with impromptu interest, "After everyone picked one at random and watched it, they exchanged opinions with friends who went to the other house, and found something very interesting. ”

"The heroine is wrong, is it?" Robinson asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's not just that, it's not just that!" Colin shook his head like a rattle, "Another friend of mine listened to this, and immediately went to another theater to watch half of the show, and when he came back, he only told me one thing, the producer is a crazy person. ”

"Oh?" Although he didn't like babbling Americans, Robinson couldn't help but respond.

He didn't want to say much about the specifics, but just told us to come and see this with our own eyes...... Probably the greatest movie of the year. Colin shrugged.

Robinson almost burst out laughing, do these Americans know what the greatest movie means? He admits that the idea of making a movie with two heroines is great, and only the most passionate about cinema would have such determination.

Now that I think about it, some signs of the past year have also proved this, such as closed shooting, such as Isabelle Huppert as the heroine, Isabelle Adjani as the heroine, and so on.

However, a great film is bound to leave its own name in film history, Bergman's "The Seventh Seal", Truffaut's "Four Hundred Blows", Coppola's "The Godfather" and so on.

Although the main topic of "Queen Margot" is good, two versions have been made, and two Isabel have been invited to compete in acting skills, but it is still far from the word "great".

Fortunately, by this time the movie had already begun, so that Robinson did not have to face the nagging of the Americans and focused on the big screen.

However, the previous mental activities still affected him more or less, so that he was a little absent-minded at first, after all, he had already seen it once.

So, when Colin was pumping air next to him, he actually wanted to laugh.

But as a professional film critic, Robinson reacted quickly, and then took a solid breath of cold air.

How can it be!
