2021 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 5 – Juho Kuosmanen’s Compartment No. 6

Date:

His first feature film, The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki competed in the Un Certain Regard section in 2016 and in a very packed 2021 edition – Juho Kuosmanen sees his sophomore feature break into the comp. Compartment No. 6 is a bleak travelogue drama – strangers-on-a-train concept starring Seidi Haarla (a possible Best Actress contender) alongside Yuriy Borisov.

Almost coming in at the top of our charts with an average grade of 3.3, we could call this the first surprise hit of the competition.
