My day started well since I had the chance to discover Dexter Fletcher’s Rocketman, a biopic based on the life of Sir Elton John. Taron Egerton (Kingsman, Eddie the Eagle) does a brilliant job embodying the traits of the artist, declaring himself that it was his source of pride, and that it was the most important role of his career so far. On top of his spot-on interpretation of Elton John, Egerton also shows off his talents as a singer, only a few years after his debut in the animated-musical film Sing (2016) where he interpreted I’m Still Standing, also a song by none other than Elton John. I felt that the story was written specifically with Egerton in mind to play the British singer. And deservedly so, he now shines in Cannes next to the cast and crew of the film, and of course, Elton John himself!
