As in his earlier period dramas, like The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York, Scorsese brings a highly specific bygone era to vivid life. But this story of enviable wealth is also one of exploitation.

The top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival went to the French film "Anatomy Of A Fall," directed and co-written by Justine Triet. The movie, which opens in theaters this week, is a murder mystery and courtroom drama starring German actor Sandra Huller as a writer accused of killing her husband. Our film critic Justin Chang has this review.

Set decades into the future, the movie begins with a prologue charting the rise of artificial intelligence.
