STORYLINE:
RED CARPET ROLLED OUT AHEAD OF OPENING NIGHT OF CANNES FILM FESTIVAL
The iconic red carpet at the Palais des Festival was rolled out Tuesday morning (17 MAY 2022) ahead of the opening night of the 75th Cannes Film Festival.
After two years of pandemic, “The Artist” director Michel Hazanavicius' zombie film “Z" is top open the festival, for the its largest gathering on the French Riviera since the 2019 edition.
  
The festival will unfold against not just the late ebbs of the pandemic and the rising tide of streaming but the largest war Europe has seen since WWII, in Ukraine. Begun as a product of war — the festival was initially launched as a French rival to the Venice Film Festival, which Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler had begun interfering with — this year's Cannes will again resound with the echoes of a not-so-far-away conflict.
Cannes organizers have barred Russians with ties to the government from the festival. Set to screen are several films from prominent Ukrainian filmmakers, including Sergei Loznitsa's documentary "The Natural History of Destruction." Footage shot by Lithuanian filmmaker Mantas Kvedaravičius before he was killed in Mariupol in April will also be shown by his fiancée, Hanna Bilobrova.
At the same time, Cannes will host more Hollywood star wattage than it has for three years. Joseph Kosinski's pandemic-delayed "Top Gun: Maverick" will be screened shortly before it opens in theaters. Tom Cruise will walk the carpet and sit for a rare, career-spanning interview.
Warner Bros. will premiere Baz Luhrmann's splashy "Elvis," starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. George Miller, last in Cannes with "Mad Max: Fury Road," will debut his fantasy epic "Thee Thousand Years of Longing," with Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton. Ethan Coen will premiere his first film without his brother Joel, "Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind," a documentary about the rock 'n' roll legend made with archival footage. Also debuting: James Gray's "Armageddon Time," a New York-set semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale with Anthony Hopkins, Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong.
Far from all of Hollywood will be present. Cannes' regulations regarding theatrical release have essentially ruled out streaming services from the competition lineup from which the Palme d'Or winner is chosen. This year's jury is headed by French actor Vincent Lindon.
Last year's Palme winner, Julia Ducournau's explosive "Titane," which starred Lindon, was only the second time Cannes' top honor went to a female filmmaker. This year, there are five movies directed by women in competition for the Palme, a record for Cannes but a low percentage compared to other international festivals.
