Resounding success at Cannes for Nanni Moretti: 13 minutes of applause in the hall at the premiere of "A Brighter Tomorrow" in competition, and yesterday morning a standing ovation by the press at the official meeting for the film competing for the Palme d'Or. A warm reception for the international test of the film, already in theaters in Italy. Moretti, at the press conference, criticized streaming platforms, "I don't like the fact that so many directors, producers and screenwriters have given themselves so meekly to the platforms," he said, "When I think of making a film, I don't think of a 13-year-old boy in Pennsylvania watching a movie on his cell phone on the subway. I think of a dark theater where viewers will see images that are much bigger than they are, and I think of continuing to make films with cinema in mind".
