Another change, this time of the name
The Cannes Film Festival has endorsed the decision of French director Michel Hazanavicius and his co-producers to change the French title of his film, which will open the 75th edition of the festival.
The movie was originally called Z (as Z)In recognition of the genre of cinema. Since the letter Z acquired a warlike meaning with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by the Russian government, there can be no such confusion or ambiguity.
Therefore, the movie was renamed coupe! (to cut!) in French. International address is still final cut.
With this election, the film director, producers and distributors, the Cannes Film Festival, as well as all French cinema, express their solidarity with the tormented Ukrainian people and forcefully affirm their opposition to the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army, concludes the note.
