The Captive: Cannes 2014 Press Conference
TV Festival de Cannes

THE CAPTIVE
Review by Scout Tafoya
December 12, 2014
Getting booed at Cannes isn't always the disastrous omen it would appear to be. When you look back at all the films that have sent the crowd at the world's biggest film festival into angry hysterics and notice that its full of arthouse classics like David Cronenberg's "Crash", "Taxi Driver", "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" and "L'Avventura", the booing starts to look like a kind of crooked honor. An audience rejecting your work might be a sign that you've hit a nerve and produced something they can't process.

The movie received a ten minute standing ovation at the public screening. The booing happened at the critics' screening - a smaller, more bitter, mean and pinched affair.
