Story

A new movie called Gazer was shown at the Cannes Film Festival. It is a psychological thriller that many people think will become very popular. The movie was part of a special section of the festival that has introduced the world to famous filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee. The movie follows a young mother named Frankie who has trouble understanding time. She gets involved in a dangerous situation and has to use cassette tapes to help her. The movie is inspired by a book and other films, and the filmmakers wanted to make something that people would enjoy watching more than once. The filmmakers, Ryan J Sloan and Ariella Mastroianni, paid for the movie themselves and filmed it in New Jersey over two years. They had no formal training in making movies but still managed to create a film that impressed many people. Making the movie was not easy - they had to use their own money and even had their electricity shut off at times. The actors in the movie were paid very little, but the filmmakers made sure they were well-fed. Even though the movie has not been picked up for distribution yet, many people believe it will do well in the future. Another movie that premiered at Cannes is causing a lot of discussion. It is set in Mexico and follows a lawyer named Rita who gets a surprising offer from a dangerous cartel boss. After its premiere, the movie received a long standing ovation, but critics have mixed opinions about it. Some think the movie is a success, while others believe it is a mess. The director of the movie has made other successful films in the past, but this one has divided opinions. The winner of the festival will be announced soon, and Netflix might buy this controversial movie for a large amount of money.
