USA October 2017 - 83 minutes

Academy Award Winner, Jeff Bridges presents this beautifully photographed tour de force of original thinking on who we are and the environmental challenges we face. Jeff, alongside prominent scientists and authors, weave evolution, emergence, entropy, dark ecology, and what some are calling the end of nature, into a story that helps us understand our place among the species of Earth’s household. The film upends our way of thinking and provides original insights into our subconscious motivations, the unintended consequences, what to do about our fossil slaves, and how our fundamental animal nature influences our future as Humankind.

An expose of the last King of Iran’s medical story

On January 16,1979, the Shah of Iran Mohamad Reza Pahlavi, left the royal palace, the Peacock Throne and his beloved country Iran for the last time, commencing what became a 19-month odyssey into exile. He wondered hopelessly from Egypt to Morocco, Bahamas, Mexico, the U.S, then Panama and back again to Egypt where he died furtively at the age of 60. His death had profound consequences for the future of the Middle East and the world, yet the untold medical story of the last King of Iran has to date remained a puzzling mystery. By unraveling the secrecy surrounding this critical period of history, beginning from the onset of the Shah’s illness, to the diagnosis/misdiagnosis and maltreatment, “A Dying King” exposes the main causes of the Iranian Revolution, the pursuant 444 days hostage crisis, and the adversarial relations between the U.S and Iran.

Petit changement dans les dates du Festival de Cannes 2018

22d4fd31b574958bc0f55fdcc99c436d27c68a7a.jpg

« Après l’édition-anniversaire de 2017, le Festival ouvre une nouvelle période de son histoire, déclare Pierre Lescure, son Président. Nous entendons renouveler le plus possible nos principes d’organisation, tout en continuant à interroger le cinéma de notre époque et à accompagner ses bouleversements.»

Ce nouveau calendrier permet de rééquilibrer les deux semaines de la manifestation et d’en dynamiser le déroulement.

De plus, commencer le mardi permettra d’ajouter une soirée de gala avant le premier week-end du Festival et d’organiser des avant-premières du film d’ouverture dans toute la France.

Enfin, avancer l’annonce du Palmarès d’une journée, en la plaçant le samedi soir, accroîtra son prestige tout en donnant au film de clôture une meilleure exposition.
