Our take
Following Elephant and Last Days, Gus Van Sant returned to Cannes with this dreamlike tale of guilt and loneliness in suburbia. Shot by Christopher Doyle, the legendary DP best known for his work with Wong Kar Wai, Paranoid Park is a rare, haunting immersion into youth and its deluge of emotions.
