Juliette Binoche will preside over the Competition Jury of the 78th Festival de Cannes. Robert De Niro will receive an Honorary Palme d’or. Tom Cruise will be back on the Croisette with MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING, debuting out of competition. Spike Lee ditto (for HIGHEST 2 LOWEST) with the star, Denzel Washington. Wes Anderson, Richard Linklater, Julia Ducournau, Kelly Reichardt in Competition. Jodie Foster will be there, starring in Rebecca Zlotkowski's Out of Competition VIE PRIVÉE; Josh O'Connor, leading two films in comoetition with Kellly Reichardt's heist movie THE MASTERMIND and Oliver Hermanus' gay romance THE HISTORY OF SOUND alongside Paul Mescal.

See the comment on this year at Cannes ("France’s Love Affair With Hollywood Continues, and Vice Versa, in U.S.-Heavy Cannes Lineup") from Peter Debruge in VARIETY. See comments on the Competition lineup from The Oscar Expert bros (brother bro says he will be there to the end). They single out Joachim Trier's SENTIMENTAL VALUE (they love Trier and the WORST PERSON actress Renate Reinsve stars) and Mascha Schilinski's much buzzed-about and pre-sold SOUND OF FALLING as the two top Competition contenders this year.
