Donald Clarke: This year’s Cannes is discrediting Tarantino’s youth theory as Loach, Kaurismäki, Breillat and Scorsese take plaudits
Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro arrive for the screening of Killers of the Flower Moon during the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Photograph: Valery Hache/AFP via GettyThe Irish Times is still at the Cannes film festival, where the Palme d’Or is about to be awarded. A lot of hot money is going on the 83-year-old Marco Bellocchio for his historical drama Kidnapped.
Such is the wave of grey film here that Jonathan Glazer, director of the well-received The Zone of Interest, is beginning to seem like an upstart contender for the Palme. The Young Turk. Kid G. Glazer, let it be noted, was 58 in March. At certain points of medieval history he would be burnt as a witch for attaining such a great age.
There are things that science can tell us - we all face a shrinking vocabulary. I reach for the thesaurus more often than I used to,All generalisations are unreliable. So, we shouldn’t be surprised to find many examples of directors who got “better” as they “got older”. I bow to nobody in my devotion to early British Hitchcock, but the argument that his high period came from the mid-1950s until the early 1960s is not worth refuting too vigorously.
