The glorious excesses, triumphs and failures of Cannes is a story that demands to be told. For two weeks every year on the French Riviera, the cream of film festivals offers an exciting high-adrenaline, roller-coaster experience.
This documentary dives into what the festival has come to represent over the years and what it might offer in the future. With insight from the head of the festival, Thierry Frémaux; Cannes regulars Tilda Swinton, Juliette Binoche and Léa Seydoux; filmmakers such as Oliver Stone, Lynne Ramsay, Mike Leigh, Quentin Tarantino, Sean Baker, Ken Loach and Wim Wenders; and a cast and crew including producers, journalists, photographers, executives, festival programmers, fashion designers, party organisers and hotel managers.
