The Cannes Film Festival rarely passes without cacophony but this year's edition may be more raucous and uneasy than any edition in recent memory.
Two people walk past the Cannes film festival logo during preparations for the 77th international film festival, Cannes, southern France, Monday, May 13, 2024. The Cannes film festival runs from May 14 until May 25, 2024. The Cannes Film Festival rarely passes without cacophony but this year's edition may be more raucous and uneasy than any edition in recent memory.
Arguably the most feverishly awaited entry is Francis Ford Coppola's self-financed opus"Megalopolis." Coppola, is himself no stranger to high-drama at Cannes. An unfinished cut of"Apocalypse Now" won him his second Palme d'Or more than four decades ago. Though much of the French film industry has previously been reluctant to embrace the .MeToo movement, Godreche has stoked a wider response. She's spoken passionately about the need for changes at the Cesars, France's equivalent of the Oscars, and before a French Senate commission.
"For me, having these faces, these people -- everyone in this movie -- gives them this place to be celebrated," said Godreche."There's this thing about this place that has so much history. In a way, it mystifies movies forever. Once your film was in Cannes, it was in Cannes." For the first time since his 1988 drama"Patty Hearst," Schrader is back in what he calls"the main show" -- in competition for the Palme d'Or -- with"Oh, Canada." The film, adapted from a Russell Banks novel, stars Richard Gere as a dying filmmaker who recounts his life story for a documentary. Jacob Elordi plays him in '70s flashbacks.
What tends to really define a Cannes, though, is emerging filmmakers. Among those likely to make an impression this year is Julien Colonna, the Corsican, Paris-based director and co-writer of"The Kingdom." The film, an Un Certain Regard standout, is a brutal coming of age about a teenager girl on the run with her father , a Corsican clan leader.
