[on the bad reviews Juste la fin du monde (2016) received at Cannes] You're always ready for people not liking your work. But I feel that there's a rather baffling misunderstanding. (...)

Its a disguise or something. For me, thats a sign of a loss of people believing in themselves, and of self-confidence. Hide
