Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman” celebrated a very successful run at Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Grand Prix, essentially second place to the Palme d’Or. It would appear that this could be Lee’s most critically acclaimed film in years. He’s always had a complicated relationship with the Academy Awards. Could “BlacKkKlansman” bring him his first Best Director nomination?

The 71st edition of the Cannes Film Festival begins today, and with it a slew of anticipated titles will premiere on the big screen. Per usual, the titles scheduled to premiere at Cannes have already given us plenty to talk about, both in terms of content and in terms of the pedigree of the actors and filmmakers behind them. From long-gestating passion projects and eclectic dramas to sophomore efforts by promising talents, the lineup is wildly impressive in its scope, even with the recent controversy surrounding Cannes and their banning of Netflix films from the competition. “When we do a review of the year,” said festival director Thierry Frémaux, “We say to ourselves, 'We weren't daring enough'... This selection reflects that desire to be a bit more daring, to take more risks." With that in mind, here are some of the films that we’re anticipating most ahead of today's festival. |
