Finally, the long-awaited programming of the Cannes Film Festival 2022. Pierre Lescure and Thierry Frémaux have been in charge of announcing the films that will be released from May 17 to 28 during the 75th edition of the French competition, the most prestigious in the world.
Authors of the stature of David Cronenberg, the Dardenne brothers, Claire Denis, James Gray, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Cristian Mungiu, Ruben Ostlund, Kelly Reichardt, and Park Chan-wookamong others, will compete for the Palme d’Or. Let’s remember that last year this coveted award went to Julia Ducournau for the explosive ‘Titane’.
Among the great titles that have not entered competition, but that are part of a spectacular list, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ stands out, the great blockbuster with which Tom Cruise wants to blow up Cannes, the new works of Baz Luhrmann, George Miller, Quentin Dupieux, Marco Bellocchio, Ethan Coen, Olivier Assayas or Sergei Loznitsawhich has given much to talk about after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
One of the juiciest rumors of recent days about the Cannes Festival pointed out that David Lynch He was going to present a film that he had shot in secret, but the director has already denied it and, unless they are playing with our feelings and give us a very pleasant surprise later, it seems that it is confirmed as false and disappointing information. Lynch has let us down but Espinof will be in Cannes one more year.
That’s right, a server will return to that pretty beach town where everything is at a price of gold in the hope of seeing many stimulating films and dealing as well as possible with the boredom of overrated filmmakers, as well as with the less pleasant aspects of the festival activity. , hoping to have your love on the other side of the screen. Without further ado, below you can consult all the 2022 Official Selection films announced so far.
