‘I Only Rest In The Storm' Trailer: Portuguese Un Certain Regard Title Delves Into Neo-Colonialism & International NGOs
EXCLUSIVE: Portuguese director Pedro Pinho's West Africa-set drama I Only Rest In The Storm is playing in Cannes Un Certain Regard this year and Deadline can reveal the international trailer. Delving into uncomfortable truths about the relationship between neo-colonialism and international NGOs, the drama stars Sérgio Coragem as an environmental engineer who travels to West Africa to work on a road project between the desert and the forest. More from Deadline Neon Buys Jafar Panahi's Cannes Competition Film 'It Was Just An Accident' Josh O'Connor Is An Art Thief In First Footage Of Kelly Reichardt's Cannes Competition Film 'The Mastermind' 'Amrum' Review: Faith Akin's German Coming Of Age Tale During WW2's Final Days Is 'Stand By Me' In The Shadow Of A Fading Nazi Regime - Cannes Film Festival There, he becomes entangled in an intimate yet unbalanced relationship with two inhabitants of the city, Diara and Gui. As neo-colonial dynamics among the expatriate community unravel, this fragile bond becomes his only refuge from an impending collapse into solitude or barbarism. Coragem is joined in the cast by Cape Verdean Portuguese actress Cleo Diára (Diamantino, Mulheres, às Armas) and artist and actor Jonathan Guilherme. Pinho was previously in Cannes with debut feature film The Nothing Factory, which premiered in Cannes Directors' Fortnight in 2017, receiving the Fipresci Prize. 'This road, financed by the World Bank and constructed by a Brazilian Chinese consortium, is meant to bridge two opposing landscapes: the arid solitude of the desert and the dense, animistic abundance of the jungle. But beyond economic ambition, it ultimately remains a rupture scar in a territory that resists being tamed,' says Pinho. 'At its heart lies the never-ending 'encounter' between Europe and Africa, contrasted with an elusive battle for a queer becoming, played out in the nightclubs, streets, and backrooms of a West African city. Within this often violent fight for identity transcendence, one might glimpse escape routes, the possibility of radical subversion, or the surviving traces of tenderness,' he added of the film. The film is produced by Uma Pedra no Sapato (Grand Tour, Légua) and Terratreme Films (Nothing Factory, in co-production with Still Moving in France (Baby, Tiger Stripes), Bubbles Project in Brazil (Loveling, Puan) and deFilm in Romania (To the North).

Star breaks rules with very raunchy red carpet outfit in Cannes
IN CANNES One of the leading stars of I Only Rest in the Storm, which premiered in Cannes this weekend, turned plenty of heads as he hit the red carpet. Jonathan Guilherme shrugged off the announcement of a recent ban on nudity within the film festival events as he joined his co-stars to pose for photographers ahead of the screening. He donned a stunning floor-length bronze gown. At one point, he spun around so the crowd and press below got the full scope of the look, in all its glory: a cut which exposed almost his entire bottom. I Only Rest in the Storm was screened as part of the prestigious Un Certain Regard category, which is outside the official competition and features a diverse range of films, often highlighting emerging talents. Directed by Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Pinho, it tells the story of an environmental engineer who travels to West Africa to work on a road project for an NGO. Meanwhile, Guilherme's daring display comes just days after it was announced ahead of the festival's opening night that the dress code had been updated to rule out the trend of dresses featuring 'nudity' and also 'voluminous' ensembles. 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival,' the updated policy read. 'Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' It's not the only strict red carpet ban – everyone attending gala premieres is also restricted from taking selfies on the way in. The festival's artistic director, Thierry Frémaux, made the declaration in 2018 due to the fact they 'tarnished' the atmosphere, not to mention created human traffic james. However, Tom Cruise and the cast of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning cheekily broke the rule at their own premiere this week. In a nod to their awareness of the bold red carpet misdemeanour, the image was uploaded to Instagram with the caption: 'Mission: Selfie. Accomplished.'
