The line-up for the 2023 Cannes Film Festival has been announced: The full list is here

And of course the already announced “Killers of the Flower Moon”, which will be screened outside the Competition.

Get your tuxedo out of your mothballs and brush up on your French vocabulary: After feverish speculation about what could premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, the lineup has finally been announced.

Thierry Frémaux’s annual press conference, which you can watch below, is over, and now we know what will debut on the Croisette when Cannes hits May 16-27. We already knew there would be a spot for Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” that Harrison Ford and James Mangold would bring fedora couture with “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” (filling the slot for this year’s blockbuster, which the “Top Gun: Maverick” last year), and that, controversially, the film starring Johnny Depp, Maïwenn’s “Jeanne du Barry” will open the festival.

Films confirmed for Cannes include Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest,” Todd Haynes’ “May/December” with Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Monster” . and Alice Rohrwacher’s “La Chimera,” all competing for the Palme d’Or. New works by Jessica Hausner, Aki Kaurismaki, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Catherine Breillat, Ken Loach and Wim Wenders are also competing for the top prize, as well as Wang Bing’s Jeunesse, the first documentary to be screened in the Competition since 2004. Bing has a second film on Special Screenings called ‘Man in Black’.

Another notable title announced for the Special Screenings is Steve McQueen’s new documentary, “Occupied City,” which turns the lens on the city where he has long lived: Amsterdam. And as the title suggests, it is about the occupation of the city by Nazi Germany during World War II.

That means a number of anticipated titles won’t be showing at the festival: Kitty Green’s Julia Garner reteaming “The Royal Hotel” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Emma Stone reunion “Poor People” were thought to bow at Cannes, as was Richard Linklater’s “Hitman.” . and “The Book of Solutions” by Michel Gondry.

And of course, the shorts section has already announced Pedro Almodóvar’s 30-minute gay western starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke, which the director said is IndieWire’s Eric Kohn’s answer to “Brokeback Mountain.”

The importance of Cannes cannot be underestimated, even with the slowing acquisition market. Last year’s Palme d’Or winner “Triangle of Sadness,” a neon flick, was nominated for best picture at the Oscars, along with two other nods (best director Ruben Östlund and Östlund again for best original screenplay). It was the third Palme d’Or winner that Neon distributed, following 2021’s “Titane” and 2019’s “Parasite,” which of course won the Oscar for best picture, the first non-English-language film. to do this.

Cannes is also self-serving, the Palme d’Or provides a level of status and built-in box office interest that no other award apart from the Oscars can achieve.
