Adapting comedic conventions to an equally profitable and popular
form of cinematic entertainment proved a specialty of Pierre
Salvadori. This mix of wit and whimsy makes it seem only fitting
for the French filmmaker to open the 79th Cannes Film Festival with
his newest work, The Electric Kiss. Historic comedy and romance
mingle in a chaotic charade where art and amorous confusion collide
with metaphysics and manipulation. In an interview on-site in
Cannes, the director reflects on the origins of the burlesque
comedy’s story, its themes of art and color, working with his
frequent collaborator Pio Marmaï, and his favoring of humor over
tragedy.
