Director Hamaguchi Ryusuke attended the Cannes premiere of his film “All of a Sudden,” which is a contender for the Palme d’Or. Following the screening, the audience gave the film a standing ovation. Hamaguchi watched the reaction with a degree of caution, noting that he is not someone who takes ovations entirely at face value.
In an interview with Variety, Hamaguchi contextualized the reception. “I also know that a standing ovation is kind of a tradition here,” he said. He expressed uncertainty regarding the response, adding, “I don't know how seriously I'm supposed to take it.”
The director also spoke about the origins of the project. “What I Was Moved By Was What Was in the Book Itself,” Hamaguchi stated, referring to the source material for “All of a Sudden.”
