Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaWith “Final Cut,” Oscar-winning filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius has to convince audiences that he’s a very bad director.
At least for the first 20 minutes or so of the movie within a movie. You see, “Final Cut,” a remake of the 2017 Japanese cult favorite, “One Cut of the Dead,” initially unspools as a low-budget zombie film, one produced with few frills and even less talent.
It later pulls back to explore the lives of the director, crew members and actors behind that zombie feature in greater detail revealing the behind-the-scenes farce that results in a movie that is, how to put it, not very good.“It was weird,” says Hazanavicius. “I spent 30 years trying to improve things and make things better, and I had to do the opposite.
I had to make something that was not good. It’s a failed film. The director is trying to make a B movie and things are happening and he’s doing a C movie or a D movie.” Despite that questionable pedigree, Hazanavicius will premiere “Final Cut” on the opening night of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, probably the most prestigious gathering of cinephiles in the world.
