Goodbye Cruel World Review: Milo Machado-Graner Shines in Stunner

The provincial hush of Lisieux, Normandy, gives Goodbye Cruel World its severe, deceptively placid frame. Félix de Givry’s feature directorial debut, co-written with Marie-Stéphane Imbert, stages adolescent despair as a morbid act of authorship. Otto, a fourteen-year-old played by Milo Machado-Graner, suffers severe bullying at his Catholic middle school, then mails exacting farewell letters to his classmates, naming his tormentors as murderers with the bluntness of a legal document drafted by a wounded child. He leaps from a high bridge into a local river. He survives the plunge, and then makes a stranger choice: he allows the world to treat him as dead. From the hidden corners of his small hometown,

‘Goodbye Cruel World’ Review: A Frequently Gorgeous Twist on a Coming-of-Age Romance

Excluding a small supporting part in Olivier Assayas‘ “Something in the Air” (2012), Félix de Givry was first introduced to many filmgoers as the lead of Mia Hansen-Løve‘s “Eden” (2014), her decades-spanning story of French house and garage music. In that film, he plays a young DJ who experiences minor success for a few years before his career and personal life stagnate, triggering a nervous breakdown. While de Givry has only acted in three further features since “Eden” (and one of those was a voice-performance part), no one can suggest that his breakthrough role proved to be a case of life imitating art. A multihyphenate swing in the past few years has seen him co-produce works by major auteurs (Bertrand Bonello) and aspiring ones (a music video for The Weeknd), while also bagging himself Oscar and BAFTA nominations and a César win for producing the animated film “Arco,” which he additionally

‘Goodbye Cruel World’ Director and His Star, and ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ Breakout, on Exploring the “Omertà Around Bullying”

Goodbye Cruel World (Adieu monde cruel). The title of the directorial debut of French actor Félix de Givry, whom you may recognize as the lead actor in Mia Hansen-Løve’s Eden and as an Oscar-nominated producer behind Arco, hints at a person struggling with and suffering from their surroundings. The opening moments of the closing film of the 65th edition of the Critics’ Week, the sidebar that runs alongside the main Cannes Film Festival, immediately confirm that, kicking off a cinematic journey that at times feels like a love letter to cinema history. So, what is it about? “Otto Vidal, 14, disappeared after writing a farewell letter to his classmates,” reads a synopsis of the film, which world premieres on Wednesday, May 20. There is chatter that Otto at least attempted to die by suicide. “While everyone believes he is dead, Léna, a girl from his high school, spots him one night

Father Mother Sister Brother Review: Jim Jarmusch’s Anthology of Late Style

Note: This review was originally published as part of our 2025 Venice coverage. Father Mother Sister Brother opens in theaters on December 24. Father Mother Sister Brother offers three movies for the price of one. The first is set on a frosty lakeside in the home of a man (Tom Waits) who’s visited by another (Adam Driver). The second pulls up in a leafy Dublin suburb where Charlotte Rampling plays mother to Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps. It’s written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, perhaps the only director in the world who could arrange that constellation of stars and have them speak in small talk over cups of tea. That

Costume Designer Catherine George Talks Collaborating With French Fashion House Saint Laurent On Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Father Mother Sister Brother’ — Thessaloniki

Yves Saint Laurent, the Kering-owned French fashion house, announced a sidestep into film production back in 2023, with what appeared to be a series of unofficial pacts with veteran arthouse filmmakers. Since then, the fashion house has popped up on the credits of several high-profile titles, such as Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez and Paolo Sorrentino’s Parthenope. But there’s never been much real insight into how Saint Laurent supports these projects. Veteran costume designer Catherine George peeled back the curtain a little this afternoon during a Q&a session at the Thessaloniki Film Festival in Greece. George worked with Saint Laurent on Jim Jarmusch’s Golden Lion-winning feature Father Mother Sister Brother. “The film was made in collaboration with Yves Saint Laurent, who are now making films, and their creative director is a great film fan and cinephile. He has chosen particular directors, Jim being one of them,
