The sixth day of the 69th edition of the International Film Festival of Cannes started with more photocalls, screenings, premieres for the movies “Hands of Stone” by Jonathan Jakubowicz, “Loving” by Jeff Nichols, “Paterson” by Jim Jarmusch and “Hell or High Water” (Comancheria) by David Mackenzie.
The highlight of the day was the Premiere for the movie “Hands of Stone”, inspired by the life of Roberto Duran, a national hero in Panama.
Duran, known as ‘Hands of Stone’, is a national hero in Panama, and the movie tracks his life as a child on the gritty streets of the country, where he was marked by riots over America’s control of the Panama Canal. Robert De Niro plays Ray Arcel, who trained 18 world champions and was tasked with turning the hothead, America-hating Duran into world champion.
The film comes 36 years after his Oscar-winning performance as self-destructive boxer Jake LaMotta in Martin Scorsese’s 1980 classic Raging Bull. “Hands of Stone” focuses on the rivalry between the Panamanian brawler (played by Edgar Ramirez) and Sugar Ray Leonard (played by the singer Usher Raymond).
