Goes to Cannes Award Won by Delicate Dystopian Drama ‘Don’t Let the Sun (Catch You Crying)’
A poetic rendering of modern malaise, Zünd’s first fiction feature is set in a world where people have turned night into day.
Starring Levan Gelbakhiani (“And Then We Danced”) and Karidja Touré (“Girlhood”), “Don’t Let the Sun (Catch You Crying),” the fiction feature debut of multi-prized Swiss documentarian Jacqueline Zünd(“Where We Belong,” “Almost There,” “Goodnight Nobody”) has won the Marché du Film’s first Goes to Cannes Award. After three introspective doc features, portraying the unspoken thoughts of insomniacs, ageing men and children after their parents’ separation, in “Don’t Let the Sun (Catch You Crying),” Zünd creates an alternative universe where Jonah is employed by an agency that offers human relationships. “The film portrays a world that is only a small step away from our reality, not just in terms of human relations but also when it comes to the premise: people have turned night into day, which is a conceivable consequence of our current climate crisis,” producer Louis Mataré of Lomotion told Variety.
