Bernardo Bertolucci shows Cannes he's still a force to be reckoned with via this slight but intimate and charged two-hander

The spirit of the new wave is revived (albeit in apolitical form) by the 72-year-old Bernardo Bertolucci in his new film, a slight but engaging two-hander showing out of competition in Cannes.
