Camera on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival 2019
SHARE:
The Cannes Film Festival opens on Tuesday, with highlights including Quentin Tarantino’s first film in four years.
In classic Cannes fashion the festival added two of the most anticipated upcoming releases at the last minute.
Dexter Fletcher and Lee Hall’s “Rocketman”, which is based on the life of Elton John, will now premier.
Quentin Tarantino’s new film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is also included. That’s despite organisers announcing in April that it would not be ready in time for the festival.
The film explores the murder of actress Sharon Tate in 1969 and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt.
The festival opens with Jim Jarmusch’s comedy fantasy horror “The Dead Don’t Die”, starring Adam Driver, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton.
Others include Robert Egger’s black and white fantasy horror film “The Lighthouse” with Robert Pattinson.
Ken Loach’s drama “Sorry We Missed You” focuses on the gig economy.
The Dardenne brothers show The Young Ahmed, a drama that centres upon the topic of radicalisation.
Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu heads the judging panel.
Some 21 films debut at the festival this year.
Only four of the films previewing have female directors, despite organiser Thierry Fremaux signing a pledge to improve the gender parity in the industry at the 2018 festival.
