Reception
The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.[3][1] On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 45%, based on 49 reviews, and an average rating of 5.74/10.[5] Agnès Poirier noted that the film initially received "high praise at Cannes" but later "an overwhelming majority of we critics found the film appalling: dreadfully written, poorly directed, verging on obscenity for treating tragedy with Valkyrie-like music and aestheticised images".[6]
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: H.264 *de facto* is because of a simpler licensing situation, but H.265 had a horrible mess which delayed adoption.
gollark: No, and H.26*5* definitely isn't.
gollark: Get Handbrake to do conversion. It's better than playing it and screen recording.
gollark: It isn't their fault. There are ridiculous patent things surrounding H.265.
