The Cannes Film Festival is one of my favorite times of the year. It feels like it's where the noisiest titles emerge and where we get a good grip on some awards favorites moving into the back half of the year.

This year, I'm looking forward to hearing about Ari Aster's Eddington and Eleanor the Great, which was directed by Scarlett Johansson.


And I bet there are a ton of international movies that will hit my radar after.

The festival will start with Robert De Niro, who will receive the honorary Palme d’Or at the opening night ceremony. French actress Juliette Binoche will serve as the President of the Jury, succeeding last year’s jury head, Greta Gerwig.

This year’s festival runs May 13 — 24 and you can view all the movies below.
