Cannes Film Festival 2024, the programme. Sorrentino in competition with Parthenope

The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival is starting to take shape. From 14 to 25 May, with Greta Gerwig president of the jury (yes, it's a Barbie Word and life in plastic is fantastic), with George Lucas honorary Palme d'Or and an Italian in the competition (Paolo Sorrentino with Parthenope). From arthouse films (like Bird by Andrea Arnold) to the mainstream as Furious (with The Queen of Chess Anya Taylor-Joy just seen in Dunes 2), there is truly an incredible selection in the various sections.
