New films from Wes Anderson, Richard Linklater and Dardenne brothers will premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the Cannes organizers announced at a press conference in Paris on Thursday.
Anderson comes back in Cannes with “The Phoenician Scheme”, which premiered a puzzling trailer on Cinemacon last week. Linklater is on their way to France with a bold film, “Nouvelle Vague”, which handles the sacred ground for Jean-Luc Godard and the filming of “Breathless” in the 1960s. The Dardenne brothers have “young mothers”, which gives them a chance to become the first filmmakers to win Palme d’O or three times.
Actors at the festival who make their director’s debts include Scarlett Johansson, who is in the UN some consideration for “Eleanor the Great”, with Joan Squibb; And Harris Dickinson, the star of the Palme d’Or winner “The Triangle of Sadness”, with “Urchin.”
The main competition will contain a number of directors who are familiar to Cannes protectors, including Joachim Trier (“Sentimental Value”), Julia Dupournau (“Alpha”), Kleber Mendonca Filho (“The Secret Agent”), Sergei LOFAF. noted to their country. It will also include American directors Linklater, Anderson, Kelly Reichardt (“Mastermind”) and Ari Aster (“Eddington”).
Six of the 19 directors in the competition are women: Reichardt, Ducournau, Chie Hayakawa, Carla Simon, Mascha Schilinski and Hafsia Herzi. It is one of Canne’s largest groups of female directors in competition.
The opening night movie also comes from a female director, Amelie Bonnin with “Partir un on.”
The selection also contains “Stories of Surrender”, the feature debut from U2 singer Bono, which contains pictures of performance.
Among the actors in Cannes-bound films are Paul Mescal in “The History of Sound”, Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone in “Eddington,” Jodie Foster in “Vie Privee”, Zooey Deutch in “Nouvele Vague” and Diane Krruger in “Amrum.”
Missing from the list are some films that are expected to be at the festival, including Spike Lee’s “highest 2 lowest”, Jim Jarmusch’s “Father Mother Sister Brother” and Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love.”
Previously, the festival announced that Christopher Mcquarries “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” would be shown from the competition and gave Tom Cruise his second major Cannes premiere over the last three years after 202’s “Top Gun: Maverick” saw fighter aircraft that buzzed the pub.
Thursday’s announcement was made one year after Cannes revealed a 2024 range that included “Emilia Pérez”, “The Substance”, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”, “The Apprentice” and “Anora”, which only became the third film in the last 70 years to win Palme d ‘or in CANS Two of these double profits, “Anora” and 2019’s “Parasite”, took place over the past five years, with the taste of an increasingly international academy that is closer to adaptation to typical Cannes price.
According to Knobloch, 25 million viewers saw around the world last year’s Cannes movies in theaters.
This year’s films were elected after programmers considered 2,909 posts, according to Fremaaux. That figure is a disc for Cannes.
The Film Festival 2025 will take place from May 13 to May 24 in southern France. Robert De Niro will receive Honors Palme d’Or at the festival’s opening ceremony, while French actress Juliette Binoche will serve as jury president.
