The hype out of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, for those far-flung and on the ground, tells one story: This was among the weaker lineups in recent memory.
Sure, huge stories broke out of the festival, from Francis Ford Coppola’s distribution push for his self-funded, decades-in-the-making passion project “Megalopolis” to Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof fleeing his home country after being sentenced to eight years in prison, finally making it to Cannes with his new film “The Seed of the Sacred Fig.” This year also marked the return of fest favorite Andrea Arnold, who’s previously won the Jury Prize three times with “Red Road,” “Fish Tank,” and “American Honey” but has yet to nab the Palme d’Or. Will her competition entry “Bird” change her luck?
Elsewhere in the official selection, Un Certain Regard already handed out its prizes on Friday from a jury led by Xavier Dolan and including Maïmouna Doucouré,...

Ever since they were granted essential worker status during the pandemic, food deliverers on bikes have become a steady fixture of the contemporary urban landscape. And yet, most us only interact with them for a few seconds at a time, grabbing the box of pizza or bag of food, saying thank you (if we’re polite enough) and quickly shutting the door.
What happens after that is the subject of director Boris Lojkine’s compelling third feature, The Story of Souleymane (L’Histoire de Souleymane), a realistic and very humanistic look at one immigrant’s grueling daily life in Paris, where he struggles to make a living and obtain legal status.
Another movie immediately comes to mind here, which is Vittorio De Sica’s neorealist classic, Bicycle Thieves. Both films are structured as suspenseful, ticking-clock dramas where men navigate a ruthless city as they ride around on two wheels, doing everything they can to get by.

Standing on fertile creative ground, Boris Lojkine once again explores the narratives of individuals far removed from their comfort zones, miles away from the familiar landscapes. Following 2014’s Hope and 2019’s Camille, the French filmmaker once again puts the spotlight onto individual’s plight towards a better life. Representing thousands of undocumented, replaceable people in society’s plain view, L’Histoire de Souleymane (The Story of Souleymane) doesn’t ask if you know where your food comes from? but rather, imagines the extra weight of knowing that your last step in a long journey can easily be a misstep.…...
