Steve McQueen's "Occupied City" Divides Cannes Critics.

Steve McQueen's documentary "Occupied City" examines Amsterdam during World War II through present-day footage and anti-lockdown protests, while Maïwenn's "Jeanne du Barry" is a tedious look at the title courtesan. The Cannes Film Festival has a serious commitment to film art, with a record number of women in the main competition this year. The festival makes careers, revives reputations, and confers status, but has historically granted rarefied status to male filmmakers.
