the official list of selected films unveiled

Who are the lucky ones who are part of the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival? “There are 18 films in competition this year, there was no announcement from the president of the jury, but in these 18 films, a lot of big names”, reports journalist Alexandre Le Queré, Thursday, April 14, live from the avenue des Champs-Elysées in Paris. The ceremony will be opened by a French film. This is “Z comme z”, a film out of competition by Michel Hazanavicius, the director of “The artist”.

“On the French side, we will remember, for example, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi or Arnaud Desplechin. The most anticipated film of the fortnight, no doubt, is “Top gun Maverick”, the sequel to “Top gun” with Tom Cruise which will also be on place to present this film“, specifies Alexandre Le Quéré. A Ukrainian film was also selected out of competition and in the official competition, “there will also be a Russian filmmaker, but who lives in exile”.
