May December, Todd Haynes’ film that received an eight-minute standing ovation at Cannes late on Saturday evening, is a film all about transgression, star Julianne Moore told the press Sunday.
Asked to explain the title, Haynes said it referred to an English expression for an “age-gap relationship.” He paused before quipping, “In France, they call it the Macron.”
Haynes’ latest stars Moore (in her fourth collaboration with the director), Natalie Portman and Charlie Melton, and tells the story of an actress Elizabeth (Portman) who travels to Maine to study the life of a real-life woman Gracie (played by Moore) she is set to play in a film.
The Haynes-esque complication comes with the reason for Gracie’s notoriety, the fact she was previously jailed for a relationship with an underage partner Joe, played by Melton — the transgression on which Moore reflected:
“My character is someone who transgresses, and how do we address that?...
