For two weeks in every May, the Cannes festival receives more than the stars than the sky (or in the old MGM studio). This year, the French Film Festival will be more brilliant than usual, as it is “who” from “from” Hollywood’s talent to Cote Diesor to mix the big names in the international film community.
All signs indicate a star year at the Cannes Festival, full of strong Oscar performance, with filmmakers to step on the red carpet and facing sharp criticism of private sleep newspapers.
The American delegation at the festival, which begins on Tuesday (13), is numerous. Tom Cruise returns to the Cannes Festival three years after “Top Gun: MAVERICK” withMission: impossible – the final blowHoping to repeat the successful formula that prompted “Maverick” to raise a billion dollars at the box office. Robert de NeroOne year of the fiftieth anniversary of the “taxi driver” victory in the golden palm. Spike Lee, who was the president of the jury in 2021 (not without controversy), also returns with “Highhes 2 lower”, re -reading “between heaven and hemispheres” (1963), by Akira Korosawa, starring Washington as a leader of the song targeted by the kidnapping scheme.
“Highhes 2” will be shown from the competition, as well as the comedy “Honey Don”! , Written by Ethan Quinn, “Drive Away Dolls”, the second title of “The Legitis Trilogy”. Whether it is due to the full agenda or for reasons that include the display of French windows and legislation (Lee will reach Apple TV+ in September, which perhaps for the first time in French theaters), the fact that they are strangers like them Golden palm conflict It shows the good health of the festival.
But who is in the conflict? The major prize competition indicates the change of generations. Some of the old warriors: Belgium’s Dardenne Broths, twice winners, with “young mothers”; Ukrainian Sergey Luznitza with “two prosecutors”; The Scottish Lynn Ramsey (“We need to talk about Kevin”, “I was never here”), which adapts to the novel “My Love”, Jennifer Lawrence Hart Robert Pattinson.
Wes Anderson also returns to the fourth time with the “Phoenician Plan”, which includes well -known names (Bill Murray, Jeffrey Wright) and some charming additions (Rees Ahmed, Mia Treenlton, Kate Winslet’s daughter). Join Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Benicio Del Toro, Willem Dafoe and others, and you have the red carpet at the festival.
Joachim Trier, who climbed at the Cannes Festival before reaching the main current with “The Worse in the World” (2021), he meets again with actress Rent Rennis to the long -awaited “emotional value”, starring Stellan Skarsgård. Iranian director Jaafar Banahi, whose movie “Not a Film” (2011) was smuggled to the festival in the hidden pen engine inside a cake, to compete with a “simple accident”, a successor to “No Bears” (2022), winner of the Venice Festival. It also belongs to the Queen of American Cinema, Kelly Richardd, who was at Cannes Festival with “The Master”, “The Master”, which is a time offensive drama starring Josh O’connor, which appears in two films of the competition-another “The History of Sound”, directed by Hermanus, South African and the coast by Paul Messale.
Watch: The Brazilian movie is competing for the golden palm at the Cannes Festival
Hermanus is one of the many new arrivals in the competition, along with the Spanish Carla Simon, who won a winner in Berlinaly in 2022, who first appeared “Romeria”, and German director Maskar Shalinsky with “Voice of Fall”. The latter, which was entitled “The doctor says I am fine, but I feel blue”, accompanies four generations of shock -shocking women, and I have given great expectations for months – more prominent due to the honor of Schlensky.
Richardt, Ramsay, Simón and Schilinski are among the seven managers nominated for Palma this year – a third of the total competition, which represents positive progress in the festival’s search for better sex. Nothing, however, follows a former victory like Julia Dukorno. After winning with “Titane” in 2021, she returns with “Alpha”, allegedly terrified the body of the AIDS epidemic. It is already obtained by the neon, the public can expect another provocative movie.
Talking about this, for the first time Arya Aster (“Al -Rahatiya”, “Midsomar”) in Kan with “Edenington”. Through a label indicating the AIDS crisis in the 1980s and rumors that occur during the Covid-19s, the film combines with ASTER with Joaquin Phoenix from “Beau Is Fear”, who is now playing Sharif from New Mexico in a confrontation with the mayor Pedro Pascal lived.
A gold jury, led by French actress Juliet Pinosh and Asma, such as Haley Perry and Jeremy Strong (from “The Caliphate”), will see 22 films for the competition and announce the winner on May 24.
The topic of the moment
Among the main competition, actors take over. In the United Nations category, Christine Stewart, who focuses on emerging film makers, focuses on the “water sequence”, which is an adaptation of the memories of Lydia Yukinavic. “The Great Eleanor” Scarlett JohanssonIt is starring June Squibb, while Harris Dickenson has recently seduced Nicole Kidman in “Babygirl” – he writes and directs “Hurchin”, which is located on the streets of London. “My father’s shadow”, which may be the first Nigerian movie in the official team.
The festival has never been hesitated in programming films that deal with current global events, and the Israeli war will be referred to on the screens. Israeli director Nadaf Lapid will attend his social satire to two weeks of filmmakers with “Yes!” It is located in the post -attack on October 7. In an Israeli attack a day after the festival program was announced.
Away from the first show, the crowded film market is likely to discuss whether the proposal of former President Donald Trump is Apply prices to films “produced in foreign lands” It will be achieved – and if so, how it can be implemented.
Reinforcing the award season
Leave the recent political ads, and confidence comes in this new edition. The festival watched about 3000 films to recover its official choice and managed to put big names until the last minute. He will need a lot to make a mistake in order not to become an unforgettable year in the year 2025.
Low, but it is worth saying: the turn was impressive. During most of the first decade of the twentieth century, the Cannes festival launched a “cold war” with Venice Festival for the most expected addresses. The Cannes Festival is competing in a non -favorable position. Venice accepted the products from the generous budget flow platforms, while the “Change” Cannes said to be included in the main competition. The Venice soon became the award for the award season.
But the Cannes Festival won a wonderful victory over Bong John Ho, the golden winner in 2019 and the best movie in “Oscar” for 2020 – the first English language movie to receive the main gym and the first to win Balma and Oscar from “Marti” in 1955. The importance of the moment. It was a double victory, as he re -placed a Cannes festival in an Oscar without prejudice to his mission.
since then, It was a festival festival in the awards (Undoubtedly, the international gym internationalization) helped him. Including “PARASITE”, four of the last five winners have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Film. Prize winner “Anatomy of the fall“E”The attention area“It appeared for the first time in Cannes in 2023, as well as” Article “,”Emilia Perez“,” Flow “and” Anora “, which shone in Oscar and won the comfort of dual gold and the best movie. A festival will never need an Oscar, but the recognition certainly helps.
Despite all the joy and guests A-List, the largest festival’s assets are their ability to discover an unknown jewel and the release of a director and his movie to stardom. What will be highlighting 2025? We don’t know yet – and this exactly what makes everything very exciting.
The Cannes Festival will be held from May 13 to 24.
