The Cannes Film Festival returns next week, promising to bury the long months of darkness and solitude under an avalanche of celebrity, champagne and chin-stroking arthouse cinema.
It is billed as nothing less than a resurrection. “Cinema is not dead!” festival supremo Thierry Fremaux declared last month.
It is the first major fully-fledged film festival since the pandemic, and a truckload of Hollywood stars — from Timothee Chalamet to Nicole Kidman to Matt Damon — are expected on the Croisette between July 6 and 17.
