Festival de Cannes offers filmmaking countries the chance to showcase the richness of their cinema in the Village international, which hosted over 40 countries in 2011.

To further enhance the Festival’s international dimension, six new languages were added to the official website in 2010. Internet users can now follow the event not only in French and English, but also in Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Russian.

Michael Haneke: “I’m very happy to have made a simple film”

 

Jean-Louis Trintignant on his participation in Love:
“It’s been a while since I last acted in a film. I didn’t want to make films anymore and I love the theatre. It is only because Haneke, one of the greatest directors in the world, offered me this role that I accepted. But it was a one-off thing! I think I’m better on stage than on film because in the theatre, I don’t see myself. And this film is the first time that I’m happy to see myself. “

Michael Haneke on the fact that his film is not an act of disclosure:
“I never write a movie to prove anything. When you reach a certain age, you are inevitably going to be affected by suffering. I don’t want to show anything more than that, there is no more to it. And that’s why I shot the film in an apartment. I did not want to go into a hospital room, which is something we have seen and reseen. There was therefore no reason to change anything. At the end of the day, I am very happy to have made a simple film. “

Emmanuelle Riva on her role in Love:
“I have great trust in Michael Haneke, I knew that any criticism would always be relevant. When he told me there was to be no sentimentality, I immediately understood. I don’t think the journey we made together was difficult, on the contrary, every morning I ran to the set and every night I slept in my trailer.”
