2011 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 6 – Bertrand Bonello’s L’Apollonide House of Tolerance

Date:

Naturally the most polarizing film of the Main Competition film so far would come from Bertrand Bonello. L’Apollonide House of Tolerance is his return back into the Main Comp since 2003’s Tiresia. For the most part, our critics hated the pic (there is one lonely 4 star rating though!)– which is about the fall of Paris’s end of century brothel scene. Here’s the grid folks — look for the one person who gave the film.
