I Think I Love You: Le Duc Looks for Love in Absurdist Comedy
“Is the life you’re living truly yours?” asks a whispery Fanny Ardant a matriarch and radio host of the program “Love is Real,” our introduction to the eccentric Perdrix family in Erwan Le Duc’s debut The Bare Necessity, which premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival in Directors’ Fortnight.
It’s a logical enough starting point for an increasingly absurd and lightly comedic rumination on a circuitous journey to romantic fulfillment for its central characters. The film’s original title Perdrix, thus named for the family’s surname, is French for ‘partridge.’…...

Finnish poet-turned-filmmaker Mikko Myllylahti’s feature debut, “The Woodcutter Story,” won Cannes’ Critics’ Week inaugural Next Step award, part of a program aimed at helping the directors of the 10 shorts playing in the sidebar to make their feature debut.
“The Woodcutter Story,” which is being developed by the production banner Aamu Film Company, unfolds in Finland’s Lapland, in a quiet village where a dark force enters and sparks a series of tragic events. The tragedies start dragging down the morale of all but one villager, the local woodcutter whose unflinching optimism becomes suspicious.
Myllylahti said the movie mixed black comedy, surrealism and metaphorical thriller elements. He said the movie would also carry an environmental theme and would be about hope. The filmmaker, who has had four collections of poems published, said the tone of “The Woodcutter Story” was inspired by the Coen brothers’ “No Country for Old Men” and the work of Robert Bresson.
