Cannes: "You Were Never Really Here", Between The Hammer And The Anvil

"You Were Never Really Here," by British director Lynne Ramsay

With the last film to be presented for the Palme d'Or, which will be awarded on Sunday, May 28, the Cannes Film Festival offered us a short excursion into violence. UK director Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here tells the story of Joe. This psychopathic mercenary is entrusted with a lucrative mission: to bring back the missing daughter of a senator. The ruthless man then sets out to do what he can do: massacring people until he reaches his goal.
