Cronenberg, Denis And Kore-Eda Make Up 2022 Cannes Film Festival Line up

You always know Summer is around the corner when Cannes Film Festival opens and today we learn about the 2022 line up. After last year’s June festival, the 75th anniversary edition returns to it’s traditional May spot. A line up stacked with a host of familiar faces as well as some new ones that include David Cronenberg, Claire Denis  and Kore-eda Hirokazu.

The Pandemic might still be around, when it comes to film festivals things are more like close to normal. Some films we knew were heading to the French Riviera were Top Gun Maverick and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. Both films set to play out of competition. The talk of cinephiles is that David Lynch will not have a film at the festival, confirmed a few days ago by Lynch himself. The one filmmaker who will have a film at the festival is David Cronenberg with Crimes Of The Future. His first film in 8 years tarring Léa Seydoux, Kristen Stewart, and Viggo Mortensen with the director heading back into the body horror realm once again.

A zombie comedy will open this years proceedings, with Michel Hazanavicius‘ Z. The French director off course won several Oscars with The Artist. Oldboy filmmaker Park Chan-Wook will premiere his romantic  mystery  Decision To Leave, Claire Denis‘ Stars At Noon, Kore-eda Hirokazu‘s Broker, James Gray‘s Armageddon Time are some of the other films

The 75th Cannes Film Festival will take place between 17th and 28th May.
