There’s no film festival quite as alluring as Cannes, where blockbusters and auteur-driven Oscar hopefuls alike debut for glamorous crowds along the painfully picturesque Croisette. This year’s slate features a number of buzzy premieres, including George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road follow-up, Furiosa; Francis Ford Coppola’s long-awaited Megalopolis;and Yorgos Lanthimos’s quirky, starry Kinds of Kindness. Will one of them wind up going as far in the awards race as Anatomy of a Fall or The Zone of Interest, the 2023 festival’s biggest success stories? Only time will tell. Well, time and Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawson and David Canfield—who are on the ground at Cannes 2024, flitting from gala premieres to headline-grabbing interviews as they give us exclusive looks at the fest’s buzziest titles.
Elsewhere in HWD, Lawson reviews Back to Black, the Amy Winehouse biopic that’s about to appear Stateside; Anthony Breznican takes a deep dive into the new trailer for season two of Prime Video’s Lord of the Rings TV series; Paul Chireports from inside the third annual Gold Gala; and it’s time to mentally prepare for yet another Downton Abbey movie.
