Cannes 2023 at the start. It is now an ancient tradition: the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival is totally focused on the first film, this year a sumptuous historical fresco of narrow Gallic brand (but with Johnny Depp as the protagonist). For almost everything else he waits for the next day.
In this year's program, the only exception is a cinephile tribute with the screening of L'Amour Fou by Jacques Rivette (noble father of the Nouvelle Vague) in the restored version at Cannes Classics. A four-hour river tale between theater and real life directed by Rivette in 1967 but released in theaters only two years later.
On the red carpet: - Jeanne du Barry by and with Maïwenn and with Johnny Depp, Benjamin Lavernhe. Out of competition. The irresistible rise to the court of France of the commoner Jeanne Vaubernier who first builds a position as a lover of the Duke Du Barry, then puts her graces at the service of the ambitions of the protector and finally introduces herself to the sovereign.

Palme d'Honneur for Michael Douglas. Eldest son of a legend like Kubrick's Spartacus, actor, producer, two-time Oscar winner (first as a producer and then as an actor) is now a Hollywood legend in turn. In recent years he has distinguished himself above all for adhering to high-impact television projects with Netflix and Apple TV. You can be sure that tomorrow, after climbing the famous Marches of Cannes (where he has been the protagonist several times) he will be the great protagonist of the opening ceremony of the Festival and will address the public in French, a language that, like his father, he handles without embarrassment.
