After a slow start, the 71st Cannes Film Festival has found its footing with two early Palme d’Or contenders, “Ash Is Purest White” and “Cold War” (“Zimna Wojna”). Joanna Kulig in the movie "Cold War." (Perhaps even more exacting in the case of “Cold War,” which compresses a decade into 88 minutes.) “Cold War,” which Amazon Studios will release in the U.S., is both a globe-trotting postwar romance and a work of exquisite self-containment. (They come to life mainly in their music, and so does “Cold War,” its soundtrack churning with everything from rock to Bach.)
