The Cannes Film Festival kept up its female focus on Wednesday with the pounding, action-packed “Mad Max” prequel “Furiosa” and the soft-spoken uprising of French actress Judith Godrèche, who has spearheaded the host country’s long-awaited #MeToo reckoning.
A day after celebrating female icons of film in an emotional opening ceremony, the 77th Cannes Film Festival got the ball rolling with a Meryl Streep masterclass and a first batch of films that put women’s stories centre-stage.
