"Cannes 2023: A Star-Studded Lineup of Films and Celebrities"
TL;DR Summary
The Cannes film festival has announced its selection list, featuring big-hitting auteurs of festivals past and a commitment to cinema as a live, in-person event. The festival's semi-detachment from the sexual and gender politics of the Anglo-Hollywood world is evident, with just six films in competition directed by women. The festival has given patriotic supporters of British filmmakers a lot to feel happy about, with Ken Loach and Steve McQueen returning. The most intensely awaited film is Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest, based on the novel by Martin Amis, about a camp commandant at Auschwitz.
