Japanese director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Oscar winner for 'Drive My Car', premieres his new film 'Soudain (All of a Sudden)' at the Cannes Film Festival, where it competes for the Palme d’Or. The film runs over three hours and is described as an emotional embrace, offering a humanist and anti-capitalist perspective that counters the cynical and self-aggrandizing tendencies of contemporary cinema.
