After a very public spat, which included a rare formal rebuttal by The Crimson and calls for his resignation, Counter apologized for what he claimed was a “misunderstanding...
...movie has a formal rigor familiar to the more serious Cannes entries: virtually every scene, no matter how long, is shot without cutting. That can be an enervating strategy, but here it works marvelously, either forcing the characters together as reluctant conspirators or isolating each in his or her predicament.

"I assumed he'd give us geopolitical advice," says CEO Eric Schmidt, "and he did-but he was also superb at management and leadership. He likes to dive into teams that don't get a lot of attention-real engine-room stuff, like problems inside an advertising support group. He offers his strategies and solutions and then goes...
