The lineup for the Cannes Film Festival has been announced. After a rather subdued Sundance, film lovers like me are desperately looking to Cannes to add some excitement to 2024. Considering that Cannes is going to see the premiere of new films from Francis Ford Coppola, Paul Schrader, Sean Baker, Kevin Costner, Andrea Arnold, George Miller, David Cronenberg, and Yorgos Lanthimos, it might do just that!
In the past, Cannes has always been hit-and-miss when it comes to the Oscars. But lately, films like The Zone of Interest, Parasite, and The Tree of Life have followed success at Cannes with success with the Academy.
With that in mind, here’s the lineup. If you’re going to Cannes in May, you’re going to have a good time!
