What makes a period film modern? Why did this Cannes award winner from 2019 become the first French film in over a decade that people around the world wanted to see? What makes a film influential? What makes a biographical film about artists work? Why does a film get caught up in its times and is this always a good thing for the film and the filmmaker?
