Cannes Film Festival 2024: New Films Complete the Official Selection
« Gather the popcorns and adjust your monocles! The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival warms up with a casting of competitors that could even make the Croisette blush. Thirteen new films shyly knocked at the door of the Official Selection on Monday, April 22, and were welcomed with open arms, three of them ready for the Palme d'or. At the top of the list is Michel Hazanavicius's ‘The Preciousest of Goods', an animated feature film that risks itself in the courtyard of the greats for the first time since ‘Valse with Bachir' in 2008. Hazanavicius could make sparks, or at least some animated bubbles. He is joined by Mohammad Rasoulof's ‘The Seed of the Sacred Fig', a political film he could vote on his own, especially when one knows that Rasoulof is not exactly the favourite of the Iranian regime. And let's not forget ‘Three Kilometers until the end of the world' by Romanian actor Emanuel Parvu, who we hope will not make you walk too long. Next to the heavy suitors, the Festival also offers us an out-of-competition buffet with the new ‘Monte Cristo Count' starring Pierre Niney – big budget, big sword, big drama. Not to mention the special sessions that promise to captivate, from the intriguing Romanian ‘Nasty' to the much-anticipated ‘Spicitors!' by Arnaud Desplechin, where the cinema looks itself in the mirror. In short, Cannes 2024 promises as sparkling as a fresh champagne. Get ready, it's gonna be a festival where movies are the real stars on the roug carpet
