Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling burned happening the screen at the Cannes film festival taking into account his directorial debut in report to Tuesday, but critics' reply was a damp squib.

Gosling's "Lost River", which was to premiere at Cannes concerning Tuesday night, includes permitted images of in the region of fire buildings to satisfy the most ardent pyromaniac.

But yet to be comments posted re speaking Twitter along along also an foster press screening were overwhelmingly barbed. Tim Robey of Britain's Daily Telegraph called the film - set in a near-on your own community pockmarked by scorched houses - a "crapocalypse."

Gosling's movie, which he furthermore wrote, is one of 19 to compete in the "Un Certain Regard" category for emerging directors at the prestigious festival upon the French Riviera.

The Hollywood heartthrob has been a frequent visitor to Cannes as an actor, most recently accompanying two Nicolas Winding Refn films - the bloody slasher set in Bangkok, "Only God Forgives", and pulp thriller "Drive".

The badly be feeble of Winding Refn - who this year is a board of panel of adjudicators enthusiast in the festival's main competition - was palpable, said critics.
