‘Renoir’ Review: A Young Girl Seeks Connection In Touching & Haunting ’80s-Set Drama – Cannes Film Festival
Strong performances drive Japanese director’s Hayakawa Chie's touching and haunting sophomore effort, which premiered in Competition at the Cannes Film Festival
She snaps at Fuki; she nags her new underlings; she loses her grip in a sudden torrent of tears when she finds out Keiji has laid out a million yen on a bogus miracle cure, convinced he knows more than the doctors. Hayakawa’s first film was the excellent Plan 75(2022), which deftly built a picture of Japan, just a few years into the future, dealing with its surplus of old people by offering a cash bonus to anyone who volunteers to check out early. Title: Renoir Festival: Cannes (Competition) Director-screenwriter: Chie Hayakawa Cast: Yui Suzuki, Franky Lily, Hikari Ishida, Yuumi Kawai, Ayumu Nakajima, Ryota Bando, Hana Hope Sales agent: Goodfellas Running time: 1 hr 56 min
