At Cannes this year, two films arrive side by side to ask the same ancient question through radically different lenses: what does it mean to bring a child into being, and what responsibility follows from that act? One film, anchored by Javier Bardem's unflinching performance, traces the slow damage a father can do to those who depend on him; the other conjures children who have never drawn breath, assembled entirely by artificial intelligence. Together, they suggest that cinema's oldest subject — the human family — has acquired a new and unsettling frontier.
