Film critic Lisa Nesselson flags up some of the headliners at this year's cinematic feast at Cannes, as new features from Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Glazer, Todd Haynes and Wes Anderson are set to premiere at the festival. We take a closer look at last year's winner of the Camera d'Or – the prize for best début at Cannes – as "War Pony" hits French cinemas. Co-directors Riley Keough and Gina Gammell have joined forces with members of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to make this intriguing portrait of contemporary America. Finally, we revisit Bernardo Bertolucci's sweeping epic "The Last Emperor" as the films get a freshly-polished re-release in France.
Wes Anderson, Ken Loach, Todd Haynes and Wim Wenders are among the directors who will compete for the top prize at next month's Cannes Film Festival, where a spate of Hollywood stars will also premiere their latest works on the famed Croisette waterfront. At a press conference on Thursday, festival director Thierry Fremaux announced the line-up for the 76th edition of major cinema showcase from May 16-27. Nineteen films will vie for the festival's coveted Palme d'Or prize, of which six are directed by women. FRANCE 24's Culture Editor Eve Jackson tells us more.
Twelve days of cinema, with 21 films in competition but only one Palme d'Or: the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival went to Swedish director Ruben Östlund for his social satire "Triangle of Sadness". FRANCE 24 followed the festival from start to finish. We bring you the highlights of our coverage of this 75th edition.
After two years of Covid disruption, the Cannes Film Festival returns to its traditional May slot for a 75th anniversary edition packed full with Hollywood stars and celebrated auteurs.
The world's biggest film festival fell victim to the pandemic in 2020, and although stars will be allowed to go maskless on the red carpet this year, a health pass is required to enter, and there will be fewer glitzy parties.
