Cannes 2019 opener, The Dead Don’t Die, is nothing to die for
Hindustan TimesIt was strange to see the world’s premier movie festival at Cannes open on Tuesday with a zombie adventure, Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die. The Dead Don’t Die was as ominous as the evening despite a host of world celebrities — from Iran’s rebel actor Golshifteh Farahani, and others like Adam Driver, Selena Gomez, Tilda Swinton and Chloe Sevigny — in their best costumes trying hard to enrich the start of a festival that had lived through 71 years of some of the most turbulent times of the 1900s and part of the present 2000. The film’s most overt political message came with a red hat worn by Steve Buscemi’s character: Instead of Make America Great Again, it read Keep America White Again. The Dead Don’t Die tries hard to be witty of the quiet sort of way which Murray is good at, but it lacks punch and energy.
