[HIGHLIGHTS] Cannes director defends Johnny Depp and rejects his festival celebrating rapists

The 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival starts with the same clarity and forcefulness with which the diva always does. Víctor Erice, who returns after 30 years, is the only Spaniard with a feature film at the festival.

The Japanese Hirokazu Kore, the Italian Nanni Moretti, the Turkish Ceylan and the German Wim Wenders are all with a minimum of one Palme d'Or to their credit. All regulars with the right to rub shoulders with the most famous people in the world.
