Day 5: Live from Cannes: Tragedy multiples when ‘Blood Appears’

Date:

This is a film about people who force themselves onto others. The final results are rather chilling to say the least. Part of the Critic’s Week in Cannes, this is now a second time as in many years for director Pablo Fendrik – he was showcased along with his film El asaltante (The Mugger). Blood Appears once again sees the director team with lead actor – Arturo Goetz, who is perfectly followed with the vibrant hand held aesthetic. The director and two actors (Guadalupe Docampo and Goetz) for on hand to present the film – Fendrik was extremely pleased to be back in this section. Prior to this screening, professional film industry photographer Jeff Vespa (who had just finished a photo session with Penelope Cruz) presented his first short (black and white) film entitled Nose Bleed with a very bloodied up David Arquette as his muse.
