Laughing is good, crying is better? If you're the kind of person who likes drama in the cinema, hard-hitting and moving stories, and you're not ashamed to get out your pack of tissues in the darkened rooms - better that than sniffling for hours on end, given the presence of armrest neighbors! - then you're in for a treat.
This year, as in previous years, several films presented at Cannes - in the Official Selection, but also in special screenings, in the Un Certain Regard selection or at the Semaine de la Critique and the Quinzaine des Cinéastes - brought tears to our eyes. But not just tears of sadness, no! We also shed tears of compassion, for the beauty of a relationship between two little boys, for the humanity of a genuine surge of solidarity, and for a people decimated by war.
Get your handkerchiefs ready, as Bertrand Blier advised in 1978, and discover these 6 moving, touching, deeply moving films as soon as they are released.
