Lupita Nyong’o made a great Cannes appearance during the opening of this year’s festival—and since then, we’ve had some known faces gracing the red carpet in style—with others having failed to pull that Cannes’s appeal with their dresses.

Yesterday, Michelle Rodriguez attended the red carpet premiere of “Mad Max: Fury Road” and she looked flawless even though she the actress gambled on a more provocative look.

Actress Fan Bingbing also posed on the red carpet premiere of “Mad Max: Fury Road” but her spring incarnate look didn’t cut well for many of the critics—with some saying, that was not for the Cannes.

Emma Stone made a bold appearance this evening for the premier of ‘Irrational Man’ alongside film’s director Woody Allen and her co-star Parker Posey.

Founder/CEO of Ghana Movie Awards-Fred Nuamah has also returned to the 68th Cannes Film Festival—and he rocked tuxedo and dark shades for the opening night…

Disgraceful Ignorance And Superstition At Its Peak In 21st Century Ghana: The Case Of Capture Of Alleged Witch In Madina

Superstition
Superstition

I debated with myself for a while whether or not to pen this disgraceful and disgusting story that’s been floating in the social media sphere for close to a day now. In the end, I’ve decided that the point has to be made, ad infinitum if need be, that superstition and ignorance is going to be the death of us as a progressive country.

I’m currently reading Sam Harris’ ‘The End of Faith’, which has short accounts of the Inquisition and what happened to suspected witches and wizards. As chilling as those accounts are, from the dark ages of man and being perpetuated by the most devout people of the time; it seems to me it say a lot about us that if we’re left to our own devices, we would carry out somewhat similar actions that Christians meted out to suspected witches centuries ago.

Those were disgraceful actions then and remain disgraceful now, and even more so. Because it can be argued that the people of the 14th and 15th centuries did not know any better. In this day and age, that argument cannot be made. People should know better, but it shows that we are comfortable to wallow and remain mired in our ignorance rather than apply our faculties towards our understanding of the natural world in the goddamned 21st century.

The unfortunate man/woman who was captured is most certainly not a witch, just as all those who were tortured and killed by the Roman Catholic Church were not witches. Most of such stories that originate can be explained by some sort of mental disorder on the part of the person, or some other explanation we might not be immediately aware of. What is patently stupid is jumping to the conclusion that whatever strange thing you see should be explained by the supernatural, and thus triggering your most primal emotions to get rid of the supernatural obstacle that has come to lie in your way.

Cannes Review: Director-Grímur Hakonarson’s Hrútar (Rams)| It’s Not Just About the Rams But the Brotherly Love They Revive

Hrutar-Rams
Hrutar-Rams

Film-maker, Grímur Hakonarson who is a graduate of Prague Film School and a 2005 Cannes’ Cinéfondation competitor returned stronger to this year’s Cannes Film Festival with a second feature film-Hrútar (Rams).

Considering the film’s pull factor, the brilliantly executed central theme of reviving brotherly love and the production quality, it surely is a low shot for Grímur Hakonarson to throw his second feature into the ‘Un Certain Regard’ but then with great movies like Naomi Kawase’s An playing along, it fits the crop of great films which were selected this year.

Hrútar (Rams) is set in a remote region of Iceland with two brothers who have not spoken to each other for forty years setting off against each when they were compelled by authorities to slaughter ‘all’ their Rams, the love of their lives.

The livestock farmers had no idea of how they were going to go through the coming winter without their Rams, that is how much these animals meant to them. Despite the request to have all their animals slaughtered in response to an incurable animal disease, one of the brothers’ (Gummi) attempt to cheat the system brought the two brothers together as they later united to battle the bad weather and the system to save the few remaining rams.
