Cannes this year will throw a spotlight on new works from foreign directors, such as Pedro Almodovar’s semi-autobiographical ‘Pain and Glory’, Belgian brother’s ‘The Young Ahmed’ and French director Arnaud Desplechin’s ‘Oh Mercy!’ will be portrayed this year.
After being under pressure in recent years to highlight more movies directed by women, the festival this year has a notable lineup for featuring women directors responsible for 15 movies in Cannes’ official selection and four competition titles. The closing night of the Cannes Film Festival is on May 25.
