The program set for the Coca-Cola Open Air Cinema will be “showcasing some of the most important arthouse films of the year, as well as cinematic classics,” organizers said. “Some of the films in this program will be presented by acclaimed directors, actors, and screenwriters, [2025] recipients of the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo, including Paolo Sorrentino, Willem Dafoe, Ray Winstone, Stellan Skarsgård, and Michel Franco,” who received the honor several years ago.

Meanwhile, the new Open Air Premiere lineup will “showcase films from the former Yugoslav region in the unique setting of the Uniqa Open Air Cinema Stari Grad,” fest organizers highlighted.

Cannes 2025 | Power to the People
Image
Illustration by Franz Lang.No official competition title unveiled in Cannes this year spoke to our troubled times with the same full-throated urgency as Jafar Panahi’s Palme d’Or–winning It Was Just an Accident (all titles 2025 unless otherwise noted). It was a historic award for a groundbreaking film. Panahi, who had already received the Golden Lion in Venice for The Circle (2000) and the Golden Bear in Berlin for Taxi (2015), joins Henri-Georges Clouzot, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Robert Altman as one of the four directors to have won top honors at all three festivals. And he completed the trifecta with a film that serves as an explicit, fearless response to the censorship and humiliations he has long suffered at the hands of the regime in his native Iran. In July 2022, the filmmaker was arrested by Iranian authorities for signing a petition against police violence, and subsequently spent several months in jail.

Squibb brings to vivid life the witty and proudly troublesome 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who, after a devastating loss, tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own.

Cannes Close-Up: Hafsia Herzi on ‘The Little Sister’, lunch with Jennifer Lawrence

In this edition of Screen’s Cannes Close-Up interview series, director Hafsia Herzi talks about her first Cannes Competition experience as a filmmaker with The Little Sister, an adaptation of Fatima Daas autobiographical novel The Last One.

It’s the story of a young lesbian Muslim woman who lives in the Parisian suburbs. Herzi loved the book and decided to make the film because she had “never seen a character like that on the big screen” - she is played by newcomer Nadia Melliti.

In the interview she talks about the “surprises” Cannes always brings, like having lunch with Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson,...

Cannes at Home: Murder in the Alps, Fire in Galicia, and more!

by Cláudio Alves

I don't know about you, but I can't contain my excitement for SIRÂT.

After Schilinski and Loznitsa had the honor of opening this year's Official Competition at Cannes, the next few days at the fest have seen many another auteur take their bow. Reviews vary wildly, but it seems that Oliver Laxe's Sirât is a winner, while Dominik Moll's Dossier 137 has inspired some of the least enthusiastic reviews coming out of the Croisette. Hafsia Herzi's The Little Sister didn't make much of a splash either, though critics have been kinder to the second French production vying for the Palme d'Or. Finally, nobody's indifferent to Ari Aster's Eddington, a polarizing Cannes premiere if there ever was one. But that's business as usual for the American director, whose works have caused extreme reactions of adoration and revilement ever since Hereditary hit theaters in 2018.

Cannes Film Festival Photos Day 7: Spike Lee, Denzel Washington, Dakota Johnson ‘Highest 2 Lowest,’ ‘Splitsville’ & ‘Alpha’ Premieres

The 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival continues on Day 7 with the world premiere of Spike Lee’s Highest to Lowest, starring Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky; Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville starring Kyle Marvin, Adria Arjona, Dakota Johnson, and Alpha from director Julia Ducournau.

Guests who attended the premieres included Rihanna, Luke Wilson, Edward Norton, Jason Momoa, Wes Anderson, and many more.

Highest to Lowest follows a titan of the music industry (Washington), a man whose legendary hearing has earned him the moniker “the best ears in the business,” as he becomes the target of a high-stakes ransom plot. This perilous situation forces him into a life-or-death moral quandary.

Marking the fifth collaboration between Washington and Lee, the film reimagines Akira Kurosawa’s gripping crime thriller High and Low, transplanting its tense narrative to the gritty reality of contemporary New York City.

Cannes Close-Up: Dominik Moll and Léa Drucker on ‘Case 137’ and the yellow vest protests

In this edition of Screen’s Cannes Close-Up interview series, director Dominik Moll and actress Léa Drucker explain how they worked the real-life yellow vest protests into their Cannes Competition title Case 137.

The police corruption drama is set against the backdrop of the 2018 Paris protests against economic inequality, and Moll incorporated real-life footage into film.

“It’s not a documentary, it’s a work of fiction,” says Moll. “But the images that we see from the yellow vest movement is partly footage that we shot ourselves and recreated, and also partly footage from journalists at that time.”

Cannes Film Festival: 7 Most Controversial Celebrity Moments That Still Have Our Jaws on the Floor
Image
Ah! The Cannes Film Festival. Despite being one of the biggest platforms in the world to showcase some of the best movies the world has ever seen, the festival has had a plethora of controversies involving celebrities.

From forcing women to dress according to some rules and regulations to a director joking that he is a nazi, the Cannes Film Festival has brushed a lot with controversies and critics. Well, here are the seven most controversial celebrity moments that just went too far! Although not every controversy was necessarily a bad thing!

1. The Cannes Film Festival became a political platform

This is one of the few controversies that hasn’t been a bad thing in recent times. French star Gérard Depardieu, who had faced allegations of se*ual assault, was finally handed an 18-month suspension sentence for groping two stars while filming the 2021 film The Green Shutters.

How France’s #MeToo Movement Is Transforming Cannes and the Country’s Film Industry: ‘The Conditions Under Which Work Is Produced Matter’
Image
This year’s Cannes Film Festival kicked off with Gerard Depardieu’s 18-month suspended sentence for sexual assault on two women during the filming of “The Green Shutters.” While that case itself has nothing to do with the festival, the sentencing of Depardieu, once a frequent presence at Cannes, was a reminder of how far France has come in embracing the #MeToo movement it was initially slow to champion.

And that wasn’t the only sign of shifting attitudes in the country and its most prominent showcase for cinema when it comes to sexual violence. This year, Cannes has issued a new rule banning filmmakers or talent accused of sexual misconduct from walking the red carpet and presenting films at the festival. Because of the change, the festival forbid Theo Navarro-Mussy from attending the premiere of Dominik Moll’s “Case 137” because he has been accused of rape and sexual assault.

‘Dossier 137’ Director On Cannes Ban Of His Film’s Actor Accused Of Sexual Assault: “I Understand Their Decision”
Image
Exclusive: When it came to Thursday’s last-minute red carpet ban of Dossier 137 actor Théo Navarro-Mussy by the Cannes Film Festival, director Dominik Moll has no qualms.

Navarro-Mussy was accused of sexual assault by three women with the complaint dismissed by courts in April, but Cannes Film Festival Delegate General Thierry Fremaux barred the actor from appearing at the pic’s premiere in what seems to be a cue set by the French César Academy. That org states that cinema professionals under investigation for any violent acts are not welcome at the ceremony and can’t receive any type of award, publicly or behind closed doors, until the case is ruled on.

We caught up with French-German filmmaker Moll following the pic’s press conference Friday and asked him whether it was fair for Cannes to implement such a ban on the thespian.

Tom Cruise on the Palais red carpet

Workers rights and ‘The Final Reckoning’: Cannes 2025 opened this week in almost identical fashion to last year’s edition: With a tepidly reviewed French movie and staff protests. Amélie Bonnin’s Leave One Day was the movie this year, and Cannes staffers represented by the unofficial union Sous Les Écrans La Dèche were present at the opening night gala with placards and posters. The staffers were once again protesting to raise awareness about what they have described as their unfair working conditions. They’re hoping to finally be included in France’s unique scheme for seasonal cultural workers, which grants benefits like unemployment pay.

‘Case 137’ Director Dominik Moll on Exploring the Gilets Jaunes Riots in His Cannes-Premiering Political Drama: ‘These Divisions Still Exist’ in French Society
Image
Dominik Moll, the Cesar-winning French director whose film “Case 137” world premiered in competition at Cannes on Thursday evening, talked about the timeliness of his movie which tackles police misconduct through the prism of a meticulous investigation.

“Case 137” is set during France’s yellow vests protests and centers on a young man who gets injured by by a flash-ball projectile. Léa Drucker, who is also at Cannes with Laura Wandel’s “Adam’s Sake,” stars in “Case 137” as an investigator in the French Igpn (internal affairs) department who is assigned the task of determining who is responsible for the incident.

Moll started working on the project years ago, during the violent Gilets Jaunes protests that rocked the country in 2018 and 2019 as a vehicle to probe divides in French society. Yet, the film wasn’t meant to be a bombshell political thriller as was Ladj Ly’s “Les Miserables” or Romain Gavras’ “Athena,...

Known for a filmography heavy into psychological thriller portraits with noir and crime element trimmings, the French-German filmmaker saw his second and third features films land in the Palme d’Or competition back with With a Friend Like Harry… (2000) and Lemming (2005), but it’s been two long decades for Dominik Moll to finally make his return this time with Dossier 137 (aka Case 137). What might have helped the filmmaker is that his last film The Night of the 12th (read ★★★ review) played extremely well in the Cannes Premiere section in 2022 — the film would nab six César Awards including Best Picture.…...

Is This the Most Political Cannes Festival Since ’68?
Image
Has Cannes gone all political on us? The French film festival, which used to pride itself on, sometimes to a fault, being the apolitical “cinema for cinema’s sake” festival, appears to be storming the barricades.

The 78th Festival featured one of the most political opening ceremonies in living memory. In his speech accepting an honorary Palme d’Or, Robert De Niro lambasted U.S. President Donald Trump, labeling him “America’s Philistine president” and rallying the audience to “act now…without violence, but with great passion and determination” to defend democracy. “It’s time for everyone who cares about liberty to organize, to protest, and when there are elections, vote. Vote. Tonight, and for the next 11 days, we show our strength and commitment by celebrating art in this glorious festival. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité.”

Ceremony host, French actor Laurent Lafitte, gave a similarly passionate and highly political speech, calling on...

‘Dossier 137’ Review: A Sharp Police Procedural Investigates Law, Order and Social Justice in Contemporary France
Image
In director Dominik Moll’s superb 2022 police thriller, The Night of the 12th, the focus was on French detectives pursuing a vicious killer who was forever out of reach. The closer they came to nabbing him, the more he got away, leaving them to turn in circles year after year during a long, existential quest that left none of them unscathed.

In that movie, the cops were flawed human beings and clearly chauvinistic (there was only one woman on the squad), but they were still the good guys. In Dossier 137, a piercing slow-burn examination of police brutality, the tables have turned and the cops have become the criminals, making us question the very notion of policing in a France racked by social unrest and class division. Made with the same laser-cut precision as his previous work, but with a greater emphasis on procedure than before, Moll’s new thriller...

Investigation of Citizens Above Suspicion: Moll Persists with Police Procedural

Dominik Moll reunites with his usual collaborating scribe Gilles Marchand in Dossier 137, their third genre oriented title in a row following Only the Animals (2019) and their runaway hit The Night of the 12th (2022). Their latest, as the sobering title suggests, is pure police procedural utilizing a fictionalized scenario set during the Yellow Vest Protests in Paris, 2018-2020. A lead performance from Lea Drucker is the highlight in a film most surprising for how standard it feels.

Stephanie (Drucker) is an investigator for the Igpn, a sort of internal affairs unit specifically dealing with crimes allegedly committed by police officers.…...

Dossier 137 - Richard Mowe - 19702
Director Dominik Moll
With a background of the 2018 Paris Yellow Vests protests Dominik Moll delivers an absorbing account of how a French internal affairs officer (a pitch perfect performance from Léa Drucker) attempts to uncover precisely the involvement her colleagues had in the serious injuries to a 20-year-old protestor.

It could have been cumbersome given the amount of detail required to be sifted and at times the narrative seems in danger of succumbing, but it’s Drucker’s mesmerising performance that papers over the cracks.

The topic of police corruption and alleged brutality could not be more timely and it follows in the wake of Moll’s much admired and award-winning thriller The Night of the 12th.

The incident that sparks the inquiry revolves around a young man who took part in the Yellow Vest protests and is shot by the police during the other, resulting in a fractured skull and brain damage.

Dossier 137 review – tense gilets-jaunes thriller divides cop’s loyalties over police brutality
Director Dominik Moll
Cannes film festival

A taut, charged procedural from Dominik Moll follows a conflicted officer investigating violence to a teenage protester

Dominik Moll’s Dossier 137 is a serious, focused, if slightly programmatic movie about police brutality in France; there are docu-dramatic storytelling reflexes and a determined procedural tread. The movie takes its cue from the horrifying real-life cases of gilets-jaunes protesters in France’s 2018 demonstrations who suffered near fatal injuries due to the police’s trigger-happy use of the Lbd gun: the lanceur de balle de défense or “flash ball” gun which (deafeningly) fires vicious rubber bullets.

Stéphanie, played by Léa Drucker, is a conscientious police officer in the Igpn, the Inspection Générale de la Police Nationale, effectively the Internal Affairs bureau, investigating horrific head injuries suffered by a teen protester, which could only be caused by the cops’ flash-ball weapons. She is divorced from a cop, Jérémy (Stanislas Merhar...

Cannes Day 2: Tom Cruise Brings the House Down
Image
During the second day of the Cannes Film Festival, a fallen filmmaker icon was remembered and Tom Cruise showed the crowd the awe-inspiring power of movies.

Choose to Accept It

Tom Cruise stormed Cannes with a glitzy screening of “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.” Big Hollywood screenings are par for the course with Cannes, but they can be a dangerous proposition. A couple of years ago, when “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” showed up to the festival, it was met with critical derision and wore those toxic reviews for six weeks before the movie opened. Thankfully, the response out of Cannes – complete with a five to seven-and-a-half minute standing ovation (depending on who you believe) was over-the-moon.

The film, which could be the final installment in the blockbuster franchise that began way back in 1996, was met with a warm response. (The review embargo broke right after the...

‘Case 137’ Review: Dominik Moll’s Subdued Police Procedural Has A Sting In Its Tail [Cannes]
Image
German-French film director Dominik Moll is no stranger to the art and pleasures of the police procedural. His previous film “The Night of the 12th” (2022) won well-deserved awards for Best Film and Best Director at the Césars, and confirmed that French cinema need not feel inferior to Hollywood when it comes to well-made, rhythmic crime dramas. Revolving around the murder of a young woman in a small alpine village, the film, however, was most striking for its departures from the genre formula: an uncanny atmosphere and the unexpected warmth that developed between its charismatic detectives were the real draws in this ambiguous mystery.

Two days later, one could still, ever so faintly, hear those exhibitors’ sighs of relief once Dominik Moll’s “Case 137” made its world premiere – because this slight police drama is of the exact type that will benefit from the relaxed expectations of ticket-buyers who hit the cinema once or twice a week, rather than a few times per year.

Modest in scale and ambition, this factually inspired, “just the facts, ma’am” drama finds an internal affairs officer investigating a case of police brutality, with both the film and its lead cop hitting the ground with an uncommon degree of tenacity. And give the title credit for honesty, as “Dossier 137” barely deviates from the work at hand,...

‘Dossier 137’ Review: Léa Drucker Superb In Dominik Moll’s Sober Police Drama – Cannes Film Festival
Image
Sometimes, the stacks of paper on Inspector Bertrand’s desk pile up so perilously that it look as if she is about to disappear under an avalanche of files; her computer screen is like a retaining wall, with the thin, ferrety inspector burrowed in behind it. Stéphanie Bertrand’s (Léa Drucker) job, which she performs with dogged rigor, is to investigate complaints against police officers. In Dominik Moll’s Dossier 137, we join her in the wake of the 2018 gilets jaunes demonstrations, when 300,000 rural workers, mostly newbies to the rough and tumble of street politics, surged into Paris. Many went home wounded. Bertrand’s files are piling up.

French-German director Moll has made his considerable name with psychological stealth thrillers, peopled with eccentrics and spiced with peculiar motifs like the persistent rodent in Lemming (2005), the raw eggs quaffed by Sergi Lopez in Harry, He’s Here to Help (2000) or the...

‘Dossier 137’ Review: Léa Drucker Carries an Ambling Police Procedural About Institutional Corruption
Image
This is a film about questions. It’s about the official business of asking them, the new ones that instantly supplant answered ones and the squashed ones that poison all chances of social equality. An answer that German-French director Dominik Moll is happy to supply, however, is in response to Inspector Stéphanie Bertrand (Léa Drucker) as she talks to her teenage son. “Why does everyone hate the police?,” she asks as he looks at her from bed, ashamed of her profession.

“Dossier 137” is a dramatization of a specific case of police brutality that took place in Paris in 2018, during what is known as the Yellow Vests protests. Although it takes some time to show its hand, by the end “Acab” would work as its tagline — well, “McAb” with its leading lady as the reason to change the word “all” to “most.”

Stéphanie Bertrand works in Paris for the Igpn...

French Actor Théo Navarro-Mussy Banned From Cannes Red Carpet Over Rape Allegations
Image
French actor Théo Navarro-Mussy did not join his co-stars on the red carpet for the premiere of their film “Dossier 137” at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday, TheWrap has learned.

He has been banned from participating due to an impending civil suit against him accusing him of rape, according to local reports.

“Last week, the Cannes Festival management received a warning about an actor who appears in ‘Dossier 137’ regarding a case dating back to 2023, long before our film was shot. The case in question was dismissed in 2025, but the plaintiffs intend to bring a civil suit in response to the verdict,” movie producers Haut et Court said in a statement to TheWrap.

“Even though the allegations largely predate the production of the film, we agreed with the Festival management that the person in question will not accompany the film to Cannes, out of respect for the plaintiffs and their right to be heard,...

Cannes Bars Théo Navarro-Mussy From Dossier 137 Red Carpet
Director Dominik Moll
Cannes Film Festival leadership has removed actor Théo Navarro-Mussy from the red-carpet lineup for Dominik Moll’s competition entry Dossier 137 amid allegations of rape and physical and psychological violence by three women. Delegate General Thierry Frémaux informed the film’s team of his decision after the actors’ association Ada alerted him to official complaints dating to 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Though French courts dismissed the criminal case in April 2025, the complainants have registered as civil parties and intend to appeal. Frémaux explained that, since the investigation remains active through the appeal, the festival will withhold public recognition of anyone under such inquiry, following the César Academy’s protocol for incidents of violence.

Dossier 137 producers Caroline Benjo and Carole Scotta, whose Haut et Court backed the political drama, affirmed their support for the ban. They noted that the alleged events occurred “well before the film was shot” yet agreed with festival management...

Cannes Bans Actor Accused Of Sexual Assault From Red Carpet
Image
Cannes Film Festival Delegate General Thierry Fremaux has banned an actor due to walk the red carpet Thursday with Palme d’Or contender Dossier 137 after it emerged that he has been accused of sexual assault by three women.

Théo Navarro-Mussy was set to join the cast and crew this evening for the Competition screening of Dominik Moll’s drama Dossier 137, about a police officer assigned to a case about a young man alleging police violence.

According to French film and TV magazine Télérama, which broke the story, Frémaux made the decision after being informed by actors’ association Ada of official complaints against the actor for rape as well as physical and psychological violence by three women.

The accusations relate to events in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The complaint was dismissed by the courts in April 2025, but the plaintiffs have said they are planning to lodge an appeal as civil parties.

Cannes Bans Actor Theo Navarro-Mussy From ‘Dossier 137’ Premiere After Rape Allegations
Image
Cannes Film Festival has banned “Dossier 137” actor Theo Navarro-Mussy from walking the red carpet at the film’s premiere on Thursday night amid accusations of rape and sexual assault.

Navarro-Mussy has a supporting role in “Dossier 137,” one of this year’s Cannes competition titles. News of his banning from the red carpet broke ahead of the movie’s Thursday evening premiere at the festival’s Palais theater.

Contacted by Variety, Navarro-Mussy’s lawyer said in a statement that the “case was closed for an insufficiently serious offense in April 2025.” She said the “plaintiffs have announced that they will be filing a new complaint, although this has not yet been done.”

“Dossier 137” producers Caroline Benjo and Carole Scotta, whose Haut et Court backed the political drama, told Variety the allegations against Navarro-Mussy date back to a case that occurred “well before the film was shot.”

Cannes: French Actor Banned From Red Carpet Amid Rape Allegations
Image
French actor Théo Navarro-Mussy has been banned from walking the red carpet in Cannes because he faces accusations of rape and sexual assault. This is the first time an actor has been banned from the festival due to allegations of sexual violence.

Navarro-Mussy, who appears in Dominik Moll’s Dossier 137, which premieres in Cannes’ competition today, has been accused of “rape, physical and psychological violence” by three former partners. A court last month dismissed the original complaint filed by the alleged victims, but they have said they plan to file a civil case against the actor.

The festival confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that Cannes general delegate Thierry Frémaux took the unprecedented move, in agreement with the film’s producers, to ban Navarro-Mussy from tonight’s gala ceremony. In an interview with French website Télérama, Frémaux justified his decision, noting that the case “remains ongoing” and that the ban...

A few days before the start of the Cannes Film Festival, Variety gathered top French producers, distributors and talent, including Dominik Moll, Elodie Bouchez, Justine Triet and Coralie Fargeat at an intimate dinner hosted at the glamorous landmark restaurant Laperouse.

Bouchez, who recently starred in “Beating Hearts,” will be presenting two films at Cannes’ Directors Fortnight, “Enzo,” directed by Robin Campillo and late filmmaker Laurent Cantet, as well as “Classe Moyenne” by Anthony Cordier. The actor was sitting besides Oscar-nominated producer Marie Ange Luciani (“Anatomy of a Fall”) who produced “Enzo” as well as Laura Wandel’s “Adam’s Sake” which will open Critics’ Week; and Alexandra Henochsberg, president of Ad Vitam, which will distribute seven films from the Official Selection in France, including “The Secret Agent” by Kleber Mendonça Filho; “Romeria” by Carla Simón; “La Petite Dernière” by Hafsia Herzi; “Vie Privée,” starring Jodie Foster and directed by Rebecca Zlotowski; and “Enzo,...

Sandra Hüller, Colman Domingo to Star in Goran Stolevski’s Satirical Drama ‘True-ish,’ Set to Launch at Cannes Market (Exclusive)
Image
Oscar-nominated actors Sandra Hüller and Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”) are set to star in Goran Stolevski’s “True-ish,” a satirical drama which marks his follow-up to “Housekeeping for Beginners.”

Charades and New Europe Film Sales have acquired international rights to “True-ish,” while UTA Independent Film Group will represent North American rights. The hot project will be presented to buyers at the Cannes Film Market.

Currently in production, “True-ish” follows Janet Paine, a well-intentioned but deeply insecure Manhattan PR executive with a specialty for smear campaigns. “A toxic build-up of stress, alcohol and miscommunication leads to her relocation to the Balkans for a job that sounds noble — director of outreach at a ‘peace lab’ — but in reality involves generating fake news to target political regimes on the fringes of the EU,” the film’s synopsis reads. “Desperate to make amends for past mistakes and show initiative, she ends up staging footage...

Cannes 2025 | Full line up for this year’s film festival
Scarlett Johansson
The Cannes Film Festival 2025 line-up reveals the films that likely will be chatted about long through the year. Here’s what’s showing.

Cannes Film Festival has published its official line-up for this year’s event, and we get our first hint at the films that are set to be part of the awards conversation for the coming months. The festival will be screening several interesting films, including the directorial debuts of Scarlett Johansson and Harris Dickinson in the new filmmaker category.

Screening out of competition will be Spike Lee’s latest offering, Highest 2 Lowest, and Tom Cruise and company are taking Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning to the festival too. This has proved to be a public relations misstep in the past (remember Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny?) but with Mission releasing so soon after the festival, this seems like a savvy move to us.

The line-up was announced this morning by the Cannes delegate general Thierry Frémaux and President Iris Knobloch at a press conference in Paris. The Hollywood Reporter has shared the program listing for this year’s event.

The film is an art-heist drama and stars Josh O’Connor and John Magaro, which takes place during the Vietnam War.

Wes Anderson
The Cannes Film Festival has released the official selection for its 78th edition, featuring a mix of returning auteurs and first-time filmmakers.

Cannes 2025 Lineup: Richard Linklater, Ari Aster, Kelly Reichardt, and More in Competition

The guessing game around which films could make the lineup for the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 13—24, came to an end this morning at a press conference in Paris by Cannes delegate general Thierry Frémaux and president Iris Knobloch. If you tapped the latest works by Ari Aster (Eddington), Kelly Reichardt (The Mastermind), Richard Linklater (Nouvelle Vague), Wes anderson (The Phoenician Scheme), and the Dardenne brothers (Young Mothers) to make the cut, then you were correct.

Neon, which is on a five-year winning streak of Palme d’Or winners, two of which went on to win best picture at the Oscars (Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite and Sean Baker’s Anora), will try to make it a sixth with, for now, either of the two films it already has in its stable: Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value and Julie Ducournau’s Alpha.

Los españoles Carla Simón y Oliver Laxe competirán por la Palma de Oro en el Festival de Cannes 2025.
Image
Dieciséis años después, el cine español vuelve a duplicar presencia en la Competición Oficial de la Croisette.

© Cannes

Hoy es un día para celebrar. Porque esta mañana se ha desvelado la programación oficial del Festival de Cannes 2025 y, por primera vez desde aquel histórico 2009 –cuando coincidieron Isabel Coixet y Pedro Almodóvar–, dos cineastas españoles competirán por la ansiada Palma de Oro. Ellos son Carla Simón (recordemos que ganó el Oso de Oro en la Berlinale 2022 con Alcarràs) y Oliver Laxe. España vuelve a estar doblemente representada en la Croisette con sus nuevos largometrajes: Romería y Sirat, respectivamente.

Romería, tercer largometraje de Carla Simón, es una obra profundamente personal en la que la directora catalana se sumerge en la memoria de su familia biológica paterna. La historia sigue a Marina (interpretada por la debutante Llúcia Garcia Torras), una joven adoptada que viaja a Vigo para encontrarse por primera con la familia de su padre biológico.
