After Cannes was canceled entirely in 2020 and held under strict health protocols in 2021, the red carpet returned in all its glory on Tuesday night for the opening ceremony.
The film chosen to open the festival was Final Cut, a comedy love letter to filmmaking and z-list zombie films from the team behind award-winning The Artist.
A number of TikTok stars are expected to hit the red carpet this year after organizers sought to refresh their image by partnering with the video-streaming platform, which sponsors an awards for short films.

‘We are ready. City Hall just redid everything – the whole place – so let’s hope it goes well,” said Jeremie Tripet, manager of L’Avenue, a bistro just off the main street known as La Croisette.
A major exception is the absence of Russians due to the impact of sanctions over the war in Ukraine and a decision by the organizers that pro-state delegates are not welcome. China is also expected to have a limited presence due to its ongoing Covid restrictions.

There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Australian Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic, hoping to rekindle the buzz he generated when he brought the can-can to Cannes with Moulin Rouge! 20 years ago.
Elvis, playing out of competition, sees newcomer Austin Butler step into the King’s blue suede shoes. Tom Hanks plays his notorious manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

The Canadian director told IndieWire that strikes are likely to happen “within the first five minutes.”
There are only five directors in the competition who hope to follow on from the success of last year’s winner, Titane, which made Julia Ducournau only the second woman to win the Palm.
Amidst all the glitz, festival director Thierry Fremaux said Cannes wanted to keep the spotlight on the war in Ukraine.

“Together we will have a great festival – we will think a lot about cinema without ever stopping to think about Ukraine.”
The latest film by Lithuanian director Mantas Kvedaravicius, who was killed by Russian forces in Ukraine last month, will be given a special screening.
He was filming a sequel to his famous documentary Mariupolis about the conflict in Ukraine’s Donbass region when he was reportedly captured and killed.
The main competition also includes exiled Russian Kirill Serebrennikov, who was unable to compete in his two previous nominations due to a politically charged embezzlement conviction at home.
Fremaux said the festival wanted to “help the Russians who are taking risks to resist” while offering “absolute and non-negotiable support to the Ukrainian people”.
The panel of judges selecting this year’s winners includes Indian superstar Deepika Padukone and Iran’s two-time Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi. At its head is the French actor Vincent Lindon.
