The Cannes Film Festival is one of the events that makes France one of the most attractive countries in the world for tourism. The red carpet, the Croisette was packed with people waiting to see the stars they could only see if they were visiting Hollywood, the fancy parties, the cocktails at Martinez.
Anyone in the industry who’s been to this film festival once will tell you about those because after all, despite the stakes, it’s still a tribute to film culture.
Everything is mythical about this festival, and even when there is always debate around a certain price, like at the Oscars, it is held in high esteem by international cinematographers. And this year, like most years, a Hollywood star is on the jury, and it’s none other than the popular and trending actress. Brie Larson was chosen to be a part of it. Definitely a great opportunity and an opportunity for her to express her views as a Hollywood actress who has been hated a lot in recent times.
Brie Larson Is A Member Of The Very Prestigious Jury
This year’s jury is said to be among the best at the festival. Because not only was Brie Larson in it, but she was also cast alongside Julia Ducourneau, the 2021 Palme d’Or winner for her shocking film “Titane,” and a jury chaired by Swedish director Ruben Östlund President, who also won this award. Last year’s Palme d’Or with his movie “Without Filter”.
Comprised of 5 men and 4 women, it features two of the festival’s newest winners and an Oscar winner. In addition to Brie Larson, Julia Ducourneau and Ruben Östlund, we also have Maryam Touzani, director of “le bleu du Caftan,” Denis Ménochet, director of “As Bestas”; Rungano Nyoni, moderator “I’m not a witch; Paul Dano, who is best known for “Okja,” Atiq Rahimi, who received the Goncourt Prize for his novel “Syngué Sabour,” and finally Argentine director Damien Szifron, who directed “Relatos Salvajes.”
All those celebrities will have to decide who will win which award, which is a challenging task and it attracts a lot of attention for all of them. It will get even more attention as it is said that many good and surprising films have been nominated for this year’s festival, like Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, one of the favorites. Additionally, six of the nominated films were directed by women for the first time, an event that is sure to lead to even more wins.
Only two women have won the Palme d’Or.
Although times have changed a lot over the years, the past still knocks on the door when discussing cinema. Six women have been nominated for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, while only two women have won the Palme d’Or in the competition’s history. Many people think that this event will inevitably lead to a third win for a woman, but of course, the quality of the film will be the only argument to give someone this amazing trophy of the electrical industry. image.
Among those female directors, we have Justine Triet, who was nominated for “Sibyl” in 2019, who was nominated for her fourth film “Anatomie de Chute,” which tells the story of a woman female accused of murdering her husband; we also have Jessica Hausner for “Club Zero,” Alice Rohrwacher for “The Chimera,” Catherine Breillat for “L’été dernier,” Ramata-Toulaye Sy for “Banel and Adama” and finally Kaouther Ben Hania for “The Girls of Olfa.”
Catherine Breillat, like Justine Briet, is re-signing since she was nominated ten years ago at the “An Old Mistress” film festival. And while we’ve got plenty of female directors this year, it won’t be that easy as only 2021’s Julia Ducourneau and 1993’s Jane Campion for “The Piano Lesson” won the Palme d’Or at the end of the festival. And with so many movies, we’re not sure that one of them will be a hit. However, these six movies look very interesting, so for now It’s the Jury’s Choice.
