Michel Hazanavicius’ ‘The Most Precious Of Cargoes’ World Premiere Gets 10-Minute Ovation – Cannes Film Festival


'The Artist' Oscar winner Michel Hazanavicius returned to the Cannes Competition with 'The Most Precious of Cargoes,' which drew a standing ovation.

The voice cast includes the late Jean-Louis Trintignant, Grégory Gadebois, Dominique Blanc and Denis Podalydès. One day, the woodcutter’s wife rescues a baby girl thrown from one of the many trains that constantly pass through the forest. This baby, this “most precious of cargoes,” will transform the lives of the poor woodcutter’s wife and her husband, as well as those whose paths the child will cross – including the man who threw her from the train.
