CANNES, FRANCE—Almost every morning during the Cannes Film Festival, I’ve lined up before a sign in front of the Palais des Festivals pointing to an 8:30 a.m. “seance” within. It’s 1890, and Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are manning a remote New England lighthouse that seems to have a mind and life of its own. Sometimes the heavy thinking in the films of Cannes 2019 proved to be their undoing. Matthias & Maxime, meanwhile, is a departure for Quebec filmmaker/actor Dolan, who was a Cannes regular even before his recent 30th birthday. His accommodation in Cannes has been provided by the Cannes Film Festival.
