• The 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival began on May 16. A total of 21 filmmakers are in the running for the Palme d'Or, including seven women, a record level for the world's largest film festival.
  • They will be decided this Saturday by a nine-member jury chaired by Ruben Östlund, winner of his second Palme d'Or in 2022 for Sans filtre.
  • Shock phrase, essential photos, indiscretions, glitter ... Every evening, around 18:30 pm, 20 Minutes gives you its recap of the Cannes day, from the red carpet to the backstage of the Croisette.

After the most rock'n'roll of the climbs of the steps, that of the series The Idol with Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd this Monday night, we were able to attend a few minutes ago the most glamorous of the fortnight: that of the film Asteroid City by Wes Anderson.

Today's event: Margot Robbie and Tom Hanks on the red carpet

On the steps of the Palais des Festivals this Tuesday evening, two of the favorite stars of 20 Minutes readers: Scarlett Johansson and Tom Hanks. No less. And even much more, even if we have not seen Margot Robbie ... Around Wes Anderson were Maya Hawke (the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawe), Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody, Bryan Cranston, Matt Dillon... On the Variety video, do you recognize them? But how does this guy, who lives in Paris in the 14th arrondissement, attract the biggest stars of Hollywood to his films? Answer this Wednesday in press conference.

Today's Quote: Aki Kaurismaki's Humanity

There's not much humanity left in the world, but that's all we have left."

This is what Aki Kaurismaki told our film journalist Caroline Vié, who was chosen by the festival and by the filmmaker himself to host the press conference for his film Les Feuilles mortes.

When the Finnish director arrived in the room, the latter did not fail to notice that it was red, "very red", even. But always funny, answering that he has "stopped drinking for ten years" when asked about the subject. Les Feuilles mortes resembles him: poetic, funny, touching with a remarkable sense of self-mockery. A beautiful film about the love story between two loners that moved festival-goers with its desperate humor.

Picture of the day: Louane eye to eye


Monday night for the climb of the steps of the mini-series The Idol, Louane and her companion Florian Rossi ignited the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, still showing themselves as much love and accomplices.

Today's controversy: It's not easy to be "The Idol"

Sulphurous debut for The Idol in Cannes with Lily Rose Depp under the influence of a music producer for the least manipulative and vicious. "This character has nothing to do with me," defends singer Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye who co-wrote it and who interprets it. I've never even encountered one like this in the music industry, thankfully. Because this character is Dracula. Rather acclaimed, the two episodes of the series screened out of competition, did not fail to react on social networks, following an article in Rolling Stones magazine echoing a chaotic and problematic shooting. Speculations immediately denied by Lily Rose Depp: "There were intimacy coordinators for the sex scenes and anyway, I did not experience it like that at all. "



"We know that our show is there to provoke," admits Sam Levinson, who points to the ultra-sexualized society in which Western youth are raised today. The rest of the cast assured that "women will turn the situation around" over the course of the series. Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye had warned at the beginning of the press conference: "It's a fairy tale, certainly dark, but it's a fairy tale." We will know more once the series on Prime Video, on June 8.

To be continued tomorrow: Critics' Week Awards

The first section to draw its awards, the Critics' Week whose jury is chaired by Audrey Diwan, will deliver its verdict at a ceremony tomorrow at 18 p.m. At 20 Minutes, we sincerely hope that the horror comedy Vincent must die will do well. Otherwise, there will always be the Palm Dog option for the amazing dog Suzie from the movie.
