WireImage Japanese auteur Hamaguchi Ryusuke‘s first French-language film, “All of a Sudden,” premiered in competition at Cannes on Friday to a seven-minute standing ovation, the longest of the fest so far.
The three-hour-plus drama — about two women brought together by terminal illness — moved the audience in the Palais greatly, with many viewers weeping openly during the credits. Hamaguchi looked visibly moved as his leads, Virginie Efira and Okamoto Tao, wiped away tears of their own. Other celebrities attending the screening included Riley Keough and Eric Cantona.
