‘The Electric Kiss’ Review: Cannes Opens With a Thud — a ‘Light’

The Cannes Film Festival opened with "The Electric Kiss," a 1920s-set French period romance about a carnival performer posing as a fake psychic and a famous painter. Director Pierre Salvadori attempts a playful confection on love and illusion but delivers a leaden, stultifying film that lacks the magic of his stated influences Lubitsch and Wilder.
