My Joy

Is there room for joy at this year's Cannes film festival? We're here for the evening screening of My Joy, by Russian director Sergei Loznitsa, which sounds positively joyful. It opens up with a shot of a long-distance trucker tooling past some housing estates, which isn't quite so joyful. Then the trucker gets pulled over and harassed by some corrupt traffic cops, which is less joyous still. Surely this isn't another one of those trick titles? I'm always getting suckered by the trick titles: it was the same deal with Happiness.
