The 78th Cannes Film Festival opens Tuesday with expectations running high for what could be a banner edition.
All of the ingredients — an absurd number of stars, top-tier filmmakers, political intrigue — seem to be lined up for the French Riviera spectacular. Over the next 12 days, Cannes will play host to megawatt premieres including those of “Mission: Impossible – The Final Recoking,” Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest” and Ari Aster’s “Eddington.”
