"Cannes Controversies: A Brief History of Scandals and Impactful Moments"

The Cannes Film Festival has a history of controversial movies that have caused walkouts and boos from audiences and critics alike. From David Cronenberg's "Crimes of the Future" to Lars von Trier's "The House That Jack Built," these films have pushed boundaries with graphic violence, sexual content, and disturbing themes. Even Palme d'Or winners like Ruben Östlund's "Triangle of Sadness" and David Lynch's "Wild at Heart" have not been immune to audience jeers. The 2023 festival has already seen controversy with the return of Johnny Depp and allegations of inappropriate incidents during filming.
