FESTIVAL DE CANNES OFFICIAL SELECTION 2021

Bruno Dumont is a genuine film author and can cut by himself. But during the editing process, he needs an external point of view. Therefore, he asked me to cut a whole version of “France”, with an innovative and interesting methodology: “I won’t give you any brief, cut it as if you cut it for yourself”.
Taking ideas from this version or not was not the main purpose: it also allowed him to keep on going.
Before the shooting, I have also cut the beginning sequence with archive footage of President Macron: that was really funny!
