The majority of the highly anticipated lineup of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival has been unveiled.
According to multiple outlets, the selection includes an impressive 13 female filmmakers among the mix of expected names such as Pedro Almodóvar (Pain & Glory), Terrence Malick (A Hidden Life) and Ken Loach (Sorry We Missed You).
No word yet on Quentin Tarantino’s anticipated Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, so we could be facing a major snub situation, but that’s still unknown. Other no-shows for the moment are James Gray’s Ad Astra, and last year’s Palme d’Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda with The Truth.
The lineup was unveiled Thursday morning from the UGC Normandie theater on Paris’ Champs-Elysées.
The festival is still not budging on its decisions not to allow any Netflix films into competition.
The 2019 Cannes Film Festival runs May 14th-25th. Its opening film is The Dead Don’t Die (Jim Jarmusch).
