Hollywood legend Francis Ford Coppola brought his decades-in-the-making “Megalopolis” to the Cannes Film Festival and Cambodia’s Rithy Panh delivered another sobering chronicle of the Khmer Rouge genocide on a day that saw dozens of women join France’s #MeToo icon Judith Godrèche on the red carpet to denounce sexual violence and impunity.
After two days of rain showers and soggy screenings, the sunshine finally returned to the French Riviera on Thursday morning – just in time for a red-carpet tribute to the women who have placed this year’s festival firmly under the sign of #MeToo.
