The 78th Cannes Film Festival started with a somewhat unconventional choice: ‘Leave One Day,’ a first feature film directed by Amélie Bonnin. The film presents a low-key narrative centered on a chef at a turning point in her career. Despite the potential for growth and intrigue, it lacks the star power or major appeal typical for festival opening night films, leaving some critics questioning its suitability. The film's focus on a chef's struggles to find her culinary identity may resonate with some, but it risks being overshadowed by the rest of the festival's offerings.
The festival’s choice of ‘Leave One Day’ as opening film is notable for its boldness, showcasing a first feature without star power during Cannes.
Cannes has a history of questionable opening films, but ‘Leave One Day’ seems to lack the standout elements usually expected from such a marquee slot.
