Citron pressé au Blue Bar is a curious documentary that draws you into the mundanity of the Cannes Festival atmosphere in '84. It’s not about the glitzy premieres or the glamour, but rather the oddities and superficialities that define the event. The pacing feels unhurried, allowing the viewer to soak in the subtleties of festival life, where the backdrop of the Mediterranean serves as a character itself. The film captures this juxtaposition beautifully—the high stakes of glory and politics set against casual conversations and everyday moments. It's a unique lens, showing how the ordinary can shimmer with a certain beauty, especially when contrasted with the festival's commercialism. Its distinctiveness lies in its ability to elevate the banal into something reflective and poignant.
