The program offered films by its regulars and newcomers, among the guests were not only French stars such as Marion Cotillard, Isabelle Huppert or Catherine Deneuve. Despite the ever-present cover, foreign guests and some even from overseas, such as Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Sean Penn and the creators of the Japanese film Drive my Car, ventured to the Riviera.

It is said that few have such a poppy life as a film festival. Practice cables and billboards are cleaned a few hours before the awards ceremony, most guests leave the hotels, and in the morning after the closing ceremony, few would know that Berlin, Venice, Karlovy Vary or Cannes still lived in cinema yesterday.
–
But what remains is the films that are being distributed from festivals to try to find their place among the “big brothers”, who attract to the eye the brightest, albeit often fleeting stars, giant budgets and ever-improving tricks.
–
Several films from Cannes will also arrive in Czech cinemas this year, which deserve the attention of viewers. There will undoubtedly be more of them, whether at the Karlovy Vary festival or in cinemas, than the next tasting, but which others will always be a matter of trade.

Annette, Adam a Marion
The opening film Cannes, a novelty by French director Leos Carax Annette with Marion Cotillard and Adam Driver in the lead roles, is already running in cinemas.

Of course, Driver is known to Star Wars fans, but he doesn’t shy away from less commercially ambitious projects either. In Annette, a stand-up comedian plays, who, paradoxically, is shared by their common child with the love of his life. And Frenchwoman Marion Cotillard, who has an Oscar for her role as Edith Piaf in the film of the same name, plays a soprano, whom her sweetheart is jealous of, because her art is appreciated more than his.

It was Cotillard’s sixth film in the Cannes competition, and preparing for it was not easy for the actress.
–
“It’s a musical, which always requires a lot of preparation, and in this case it was also opera singing. I accepted the role in May and we filmed in September, so I didn’t have much time to become an opera singer, “said Cotillard in Cannes, who finally managed her role perfectly as always.
