How it scared people
The vibe
Cannes 2021 had fainters and walkouts, and the jury handed it the Palme d'Or anyway. The car stuff gets the headlines, but the film's real engine is Vincent Lindon as a steroid-shooting fire captain still mourning a son who vanished years ago. Critics called it visionary; plenty of viewers called it insufferable.
