Cea de-a 77-a editie a Festivalului de Film de la Cannes va avea loc in perioada 14 – 25 mai 2024. Lineup-ul din acest an include noile filme alor unor cineasti celebrii, precum Francis Ford Coppola (Megalopolis), Yorgos Lanthimos (Kinds of Kindness), George Miller (Furiosa), Paul Schrader (Oh, Canada), Jacques Audiard (Emilia Perez), Paolo Sorrentino (Parthenope) sau David Cronenberg (The Shrouds).
Posterul festivalului infatiseaza o scena din Rhapsody in August, filmul japonez clasic al lui Akira Kurosawa, care a avut premiera in afara comeptitiei Festivalului de Film de la Cannes din 1991. Acesta este penultimul film al regretatului cineast, in care o bunica, victima a atacului cu bomba nucleara de la Nagasaki, le transmite nepotilor sai si a nepotului american credinta ei in iubire si integritate, ca un bastion impotriva razboiului si a violentei in general.
Unul dintre cele mai asteptate filme din cadrul Festivalului de Film de la Cannes 2024 este noua drama a regizorului Ali Abbasi, The Apprentice; nascut in Iran si crescut in Suedia, Abbasi a facut furori la editia din 2022 a festivalului, cu un thriller-ul tulburator, bazat pe o poveste adevarata – Holy Spider. The Apprentice spune povestea tanarului Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan) si a avocatului Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), care au construit impreuna o afacere imobiliara in New York, in anii ’70 si ’80.
