Passionate, head-over-heels love stories are nothing new on the big screen. There are as many variations as there are couples in the world. If you’re up for some crazy cinematic love potion, “Stars at Noon” and “Decision to Leave”, both in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, will fit the bill.
“Stars at Noon” directed by French filmmaker Claire Denis, is based on a novel by Denis Johnson. It goes deep into the rabbit hole of impossible love, taking us to hot, sweaty Nicaragua, where armed men drive around in trucks and revolution is in the air.
