And the surprises of Les Films de Cannes à Bucarest for cinema lovers continue. Two films by Jim Jarmusch may be seen this year in premiere in Bucharest, both from the Cannes
selection:
Paterson and the documentary
Gimme Danger, which will officially close the festival, on 23 October.
Gimme Danger remakes The Stooges epopee, one of the all-time greatest rock bands, where Iggy Pop made its debut and that lay the foundation for today's punk and alternative rock. In
Paterson, Adam Driver plays the part of a driver from Paterson, New Jersey, who leads a simple, routine life, but who notices and transforms the poetry from the small things and gestures around him.
One of the around
30 premieres of the festival will be dedicated to an important cause: all collections from the screening of the Palme d’Or winner,
