> It tells the story of three men in three different periods — 1932, 1937 and 2017 — connected by the last works of the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca.
This tradition of clapping for a movie for really long time is so fucking weird.
20 minutes is insane
I didn’t stand up and applaud for 20 mins when I lost my virginity so I can’t imagine anything short of my kid winning the Nobel Prize that could get that kind of reaction.
My brain read “Glen Powell” and was trying to figure out what reality I was in into where he gets a 20 min standing ovation.
I have a lifelong love of film.
there is *no* film I love enough to imagine that standing in place clapping for 20 whole minutes makes sense.
Sucks that Netflix got it cause that more than likely means this wont be in theaters.
Endurance clapping.
The fact that Netflix bought it perhaps speaks more to the quality of the movie rather than the headline-grabbing applause
a 20 minute standing ovation at cannes literally just means the audience didn’t actively throw garbage at the screen tbh. it’s such a completely meaningless metric at this point.
Hilarious they measure how good a movie is by the length of the ovation at Cannes…
It’s all planned ahead of time. Nothing is sincere. Welcome to the land of make believe
If it gets theatre elites this riled up, I’m sure it will bore me for 3 hours
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
