The seventy-sixth session Cannes Film Festival Strongly, following three cycles, which were curtailed by the Corona pandemic and obstructed its natural course. It seems that the city of Cannes, while receiving lovers of the seventh art, did not experience this difficult period in the history of humanity. The red carpet, the hallmark of the festival, glows brightly under the Mediterranean sun and is topped by, throughout the festival, a group of world stars under the lights of photographers from five continents. Above the red carpet is the simple festival poster with its elegant black and white design and the French actress Catherine Deneuve (Catherine Deneuve) that shines in the middle.

French-German-Italian women’s magic at the festival

German Iris Knoblock (Iris Knobloch(She presided over the Cannes Film Festival on the twenty-third of March 2023, succeeding the French journalist Pierre Lescure)Pierre Lescure) following twenty-five years of a successful career at Warner Studios of America. She is the first woman to preside over the Cannes Festival since its inception.

Actress and singer Chiara Mastroianni (Clare Mastroianni), the daughter of the late Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni, presents the opening and closing ceremonies in this session under the watchful eyes of her mother, the French actress Catherine Deneuve, whom the festival honors in its traditional poster. The poster photo was taken in 1968 on the beach in Pampulun (Pampelonne(During the filming of “Violently”)The chamade(Directed by French director Alain Cavallier)Alain Cavalier). Catherine Deneuve is one of the French actresses who contributed to the spread of the new wave in French cinema and left a significant impact on the international cinema scene. Her daughter, Chiara, is following in her footsteps in various artistic fields, including acting.

French actress and director Mayoine (Maïwenn) opens this year’s edition of the festival with her film “Jan Do Bari” (Jeanne du Barry). A film in which she plays the title role alongside American actor Johnny Depp (Johnny Depp). The film is a Saudi-French production It tells the biography of Jeanne de Barry, a commoner with a passion for art and culture, who attracts the attention of King Louis XV, who falls in love with her and creates a court scandal when he brings her to live with him at the Palace of Versailles.

An attractive Swedish-American cocktail at the festival

Swedish director Robin Ostlund (Ruben Östlund(He chairs the official competition jury for the seventy-sixth edition of the festival, fifty years following Ingrid Borgmann)Ingrid Bergman) The Swedish actress who chaired the jury in 1973. Robin Ostland won the Palme d’Or in May 2022 for his grotesque film “The Triangle of Fear”, in which he dissects the contradictions of the human psyche in a surreal style.

American actor Michael Douglas At the festival’s opening ceremony, he receives a Palme d’Or for his entire career in the world of cinema. The Cannes Festival is no stranger to this actor who starred in four films that participated in previous official competitions: “The Chinese Syndrome” in 1979, “Basic Instinct” in 1992, “Free Fall” in 1993, and “My Life with Liberace” in 2013. The honoring is accompanied by the screening of the documentary film “Michael Douglas, Child Prodigy” (Michael Douglas: The child Prodigy(by French director Amine Mestari)Amine Master).

American actor Harrison Ford (Harisson Ford) once once more embodies the character of Indiana Jones, an adventurous archaeologist, in a fifth installment entitled, “Indiana Jones and the Disc of Destiny.” It seems that the number five brings luck to this able actor who has played prominent roles in Hollywood and returns for the fifth time to the festival to accompany, on the eighteenth of May 2023, the world premiere of his new film outside the official competition. Harrison Ford, at the age of eighty, visits Cannes once more, forty-nine years following his first participation in the official competition with his film “The Call” by American director Francis Ford Coppola (Francis Ford Coppola).
