Recent Palme d'Or winners include Sean Baker's Anora, which went on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Bong Joon Ho's fellow Best Picture winner Parasite, and the Oscar-nominated European films Triangle of Sadness and Anatomy of a Fall. 233t5v

The Cannes Film Festival is still in full swing, and like always, it has been home to some impressive films. One of the longest-running film festivals around, the massive artistic event can be traced back to 1946. This year, the festival kicked off on Thursday, May 13, and runs through this Saturday, May 24. This year's lineup included Lynne Ramsey's Die, My Love, and Spike Lee's (out of competition) Highest 2 Lowest, among other notable titles. Continuing the festival's audience tradition, Cannes 2025 has had its fair share of long-standing ovations.

Denzel Washington had an intense moment on the Cannes red carpet this week. Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest was recently screened at Cannes, which is showing out of competition at the festival. The movie is a modern retelling of Akira Kurosawa's High and Low, with this version chronicling the story of a New York City music mogul who gets caught up in a ransom plot. It is the fifth film collaboration between Lee and Washington, and their first since Inside Man.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning director Christopher McQuarrie explains the unusual thing that inspired one of the movie's big stunts after Tom Cruise unexpectedly crashed his Q&A. McQuarrie has been the driving creative force behind the Mission: Impossible movies for several years now. He first signed on to direct Rogue Nation in 2015 and then helmed three more movies in the franchise. Next week will see the release of Ethan Hunt's final chapter Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival before opening in theaters worldwide.

The Cannes Film Festival has revealed the official selection for the 2025 edition. The French event, a major spot on the annual cinematic calendar, will reconvene for its 78th festival from Tuesday, May 13 to Saturday, May 24. Despite rumors swirling, very few films were confirmed for the festival ahead of time, when typically a few prominent titles are revealed early. Only Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning was announced as a Cannes premiere earlier this week.

Cannes Confidential is the newest series about to debut on Acorn TV, a streaming platform from AMC Networks devoted to British and international television, and Screen Rant is proud to exclusively present its first trailer. The romantic crime drama was filmed in the City of Cannes and boasted unprecedented access to the Cote d’Azur. Midsomer Murders writer Chris Murray centers his new detective series on the dynamic between detective Camille Delmasse (Lucie Lucas, Porto and Gloria) and debonair conman Harry King (Jamie Bamber, Battlestar Galactica).

The highly anticipated Top Gun: Maverick received a 5-minute standing ovation at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Some 36 years after the first installment of the Tom Cruise-led Navy drama first arrived, Maverick looks to deliver an even greater rush of adrenaline to audiences than its predecessor. This time, Cruise actually flew some of the fighter jets that are used in the film, unlike the first film, which used trained pilots.

Adi Shankar's Guardian's of Justice superhero satire is in competition at Canneseries. Adi Shankar is a producer on such films as Joe Carnahan's The Grey, Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly, the comic-book adaptation Dredd, and the true-life war film, Lone Survivor, with Mark Wahlberg. He is also the creator of the "bootleg" universe, which is a series of live-action shorts on characters owned by other companies. He has produced shorts for the likes of The Punisher, Venom, Power Rangers and Pokemon, to name a few.

The Cannes Film Festival is likely to be canceled due to concerns over the coronavirus. The annual event takes place in Cannes, , which is situated along the French Riviera. This year, the festival was scheduled to take place between the 14th and 20th of May. Cannes is an invitation-only event, bringing together some of the most talented filmmakers of all genres, to celebrate the international world of cinema. The top prize is the coveted Palme d'Or, a distinction which Quentin Tarantino's iconic Pulp Fiction won in 1994 and which Bong Joon-ho's Parasite won in 2019 - before being awarded the Oscar for Best Picture.
