Pierre Salvadori's 'The Electric Kiss' reviewed at Cannes

Pierre Salvadori's film 'The Electric Kiss' premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. The period farce, set during the belle époque, follows a fake spiritualist hired by a wily agent to convince a grief-stricken, creatively blocked painter that she can contact his dead lover, hoping to inspire him to resume painting. The review describes the film as a whimsical comedy with charm and elegance, but ultimately flat and lacking magic, comparing it unfavorably to Woody Allen and Noël Coward's 'Blithe Spirit'. The film is directed and co-written by Salvadori.
