Some names have already joked on the leg in recent days. Tom Cruise is expected in Croisette in 2025 present, outside the competition, his latest delivery, Mission: Impossible – The Final ReckoningDirected by Christopher Mcquarrie.

He has also announced that the honorary palm will be granted to Robert de Niro, a regular Cannes regular Taxi driverwho won the palm d’Or in 1976. “Cannes is his home,” said Thierry Frémaux, the general delegate of the Cannes Festival, in unison with the president, Iris Knobloch, at a press conference on Thursday, April 10, while revealing the official selection of 78Th Edition of the Cannes Festival – From May 13 to May 24. Before Feruux announced the 50 films at the UGC Montparnasse in Paris (at 6Th District), Knobloch said that in this period of “withdrawing”, the role of the festival would be “to gather all the light of the cinema to illuminate everything we have in common.”

Festival dedicated to Emilie Dequenne

In the light of the April 9 publication of the Report of the Investigation Commission of the National Assembly in the film, theater and advertising sectors, Knobloch added that the festival would be “particularly attentive” to the difficult situation of women. As Knobloch and Frébix emphasized, women would be at the center of attention, with Juliette Binoche as president of the jury. The first word that Frémeux pronounced on the competition was a number: six, which represses the number of female directors competing for the palm d’Or, of a total of 19 feature films (pending additions). The “boss” of the Cannes Festival also made sure of specifying those of the films of 2,909 views, 38% came from women and 62% of men.
