With one week to go before the press conference unveiling the 77th Cannes Film Festival Official Selection, director Thierry Fremauxis is navigating through submission delays, Hollywood's double strikes, and high expectations following last year's successful edition. The festival is already buzzing with excitement, as George Miller's 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' and Quentin Dupieux's 'A Second Act' starring Léa Seydoux are set to premiere at the event.
Fremaux expressed optimism about this year's lineup, with hopes to welcome back Francis Ford Coppola with 'Megalopolis' and Yorgos Lanthimos with 'Kinds of Kindness.' He also mentioned efforts to bring Netflix back to Cannes and addressed France's #MeToo reckoning, the presence of female directors, and geopolitical influences on the Official Selection.
