In 2007, to celebrate its 60th anniversary, the Cannes Film Festival commissioned an omnibus film, inviting 36 filmmakers to contribute three-minute shorts to Chacun Son Cinema (To Each His Own Cinema). There was one woman among them: Jane Campion. She had the same distinction, as sole representative of her gender, in a ceremony that year feting the directors of past Palme d’Or winners. In Julie Bertuccelli’s absorbing and insightful portrait, well-chosen clips of these gatherings of the greats pack a punch, capturing not just the rarefied air but the awkwardly glaring imbalance of it all.
