Cannes Film Festival attendees were shocked last night at the premiere on the stretcher.
The crowd has seen the first screening of Alpha, the latest “body horror” thriller by award-winning Titan director Julia Ducournau.
With Ducournau viewers, the film was briefly interrupted after about an hour of running to participate in an undisclosed medical emergency.
Attendees on the balcony were seen waving their cell phone torches in the dark because they noticed something was wrong.
Some viewers called for doctors and asked for a suspension of screening, variety shows Report.
However, as paramedics arrived on site to remove sick guests, the function was performed for 128 minutes anyway.
The film received 11 minutes of live applause after its premiere on Monday
The film tells the story of a troubled teenager who returns from school with a tattoo. The new infectious disease then spreads, turning the infection into marble
The emergency was considered to be unrelated to the content of the body horror film, and the film has not shown any graphics yet.
MailOnline has contacted the Cannes Film Festival for comment.
Ducournau provided nearly 12 minutes of standing ovation at the end of the screening and performed well in the front row.
She posted her thanks in French, thanking everyone who supported the project, saying the team “puts a lot of people into the movie.”
Ducournau is one of three women who once won the Palme d’Or award and received a high respect after her last directed Titane.
Alpha follows the story of a troubled teenager (Mélissa Boros) and her single mother (Golshifteh Farahani) whose “After the world goes bankrupt, Alpha goes bankrupt because Alpha falls into school and has a tattoo on her arm”, according to the Cannes Film Festival outline.
The obvious AIDS fable, a deadly virus used through a common needle, then causes infected skin to turn to marble.
Later, Alpha was eliminated by his classmates, worried about the spread of new infectious diseases.
The film features British-French actor Emma Mackey, who released in 2019 as Wild Child Maeve, a sex-educated wild child.
At the film festival on Monday, the audience received the Alpha. But not all critics like to perform.

“In late night media screenings, strikes seem to be fueled more than tiredness and disgust or disgust,” he wrote.
Mélissa Boros star in the movie of the same name plays Alpha, which will be released in France on August 20
Peter Bradshaw of Guardian judge It’s a powerless story of a girl with sly tattoos, a disease that turns people into marbles”.
Jordan Mintzer, writing for Hollywood Reporter, explain The movie “feels like three or four movies at a time, all of which are told as loudly as possible”.
Peter Debruge Believed The film is a “Tormented AIDS Fable” and a “Result of Rotten” by Titans.
The Cannes Film Festival lasts until May 24. Alpha will be released in France on August 20.
