Cannes Film Festival gears up for a bumper 75th anniversary edition with a selection of big Hollywood names, a splashy return even as the conflict in Ukraine looms over festivities
The Cannes Film Festival was cancelled in 2020, and last year moved to July, when it was held under strict Covid protocols.
The festival runs from May 17-28, resuming its traditional calendar following two years of pandemic disruptions. It was canceled in 2020, and last year moved to July, when it was held under strict Covid protocols. David Cronenberg will mark his return to horror films with "Crimes of the Future," featuring Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart and Lea Seydoux.
The festival opens on Tuesday with a zombie film, "Final cut," by French filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius, who changed the title from "Z, like Z" to strip out a reference to the letter which has become associated with the war in Ukraine. The festival banned official Russian delegations from the event but will feature "Tchaikovski's Wife" by exiled Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov, who has been outspoken about the war.
