The Cannes Film Festival is one of the events that make France one of the most attractive countries in the world in terms of tourism. The red carpet, the Croisette full of people waiting to see the stars they can only see if they visit Hollywood, lavish parties, cocktails at Martinez.
Anyone in the industry who goes to this festival once will talk about it to you because, after all, despite the many stakes, it is still a celebration of film culture.

Everything is a myth about this festival, and although there is always a debate about the price given, like at the Oscars, it is taken more seriously by international cinematographers. And this year, like almost every year, Hollywood stars are part of the Jury, and It is none other than the famous and trending actress Brie Larson who has been chosen to be part of it. A big opportunity for sure and an opportunity for him to give a glimpse as a Hollywood actor who has been getting a lot of hate recently.
Brie Larson Is Part Of A Very Prestigious Jury
This year’s jury is said to be one of the best at the festival. Because not only Brie Larson is in it, but she is chosen together with Julia Ducourneau, winner of the Palme d’Or in 2021 with her surprising film “Titane” and the Jury is chaired by the Swedish director Ruben Östlund, who also won the Palme d’Or last year with his film ” No Filter.”

Consisting of 5 men and four women, it has two recent festival winners and an Oscar winner. Besides Brie Larson, Julia Ducourneau and Ruben Östlund, we have Maryam Touzani, who directed “le bleu du Caftan”, Denis Ménochet who conducted “As Bestas”; Rungano Nyoni, who runs “I Am Not A Magician; Paul Dano, famous for “Okja,” Atiq Rahimi, who won the Goncourt prize for his novel “Syngué Sabour” and finally the Argentinian director Damien Szifron who directed “Relatos Salvajes.”
All the famous people had to decide who would win which prize, which was a challenging task, and it brought a lot of attention to all of them. It will get more attention because it is said that many beautiful and surprising films have been nominated for this year’s film festival, such as Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, which is among the favorites. Also, six of the nominated films were directed by women for the first time, an event that will undoubtedly lead to more wins.
Only Two Women Received the Palme d’Or.
Although times have changed a lot in recent years, the past still knocks on the door when discussing cinema. Six women have been nominated for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, while only two women have won the Palme d’Or in the competition’s history. Many people think that this event will definitely lead to the third victory for a woman, but of course, the quality of the film will be the only argument to offer someone this great trophy of the cinema industry.

Among the female directors, we have Justine Triet, who was nominated for “Sibyl” in 2019, who was nominated for her fourth film “Anatomie de Chute,” which tells the story of a woman accused of murdering her husband; we also have Jessica Hausner for “Club Zero,” Alice Rohrwacher for “The Chimera,” Catherine Breillat for ‘L’été dernier,” Ramata-Toulaye Sy for “Banel and Adama” and finally Kaouther Ben Hania for “The Girls of Olfa .”
Catherine Breillat also, like Justine Briet, signs a comeback since she was nominated ten years ago at the festival for “An Old Mistress.” And although we have many female directors this year, it will not be that easy because only Julia Ducourneau in 2021 and Jane Campion in 1993 for “The Piano Lesson” won the Palme d’Or at the end of the festival. And with so many movies, we’re not at all sure that one of them will be successful. However, all six of these films look very interesting, so now It is the Jury’s choice.
