Affectionally known to French audiences as “Les Lescars”, Round da Way completes this year’s selection of ten feature films found in Cannes Critic’s Week sidebar. Featuring the voices of Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger (who will already be in Cannes respectively repping Adrift and Inglorious Basterds), the animated tale directed by Emmanuel Klotz and Albert Pereira-Lazaro tells the tale of best friends and petty crooks Tony and Jose. Tension strikes the duo when Jose falls for the rich Clemence and wants to go straight.
