Somehow there is no match tomorrow between the clamor for the "old" Indiana Jones and the films in competition; Precisely for this reason the day must also be observed with other lenses, in search of the "new".
-INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY by James Mangold with Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann. OUT OF COMPETITION. Fifth and final adventure of a character we already know everything about. Here we find him on the verge of retirement, still ready to chase a former Nazi who in 1969 worked for NASA around the world.
-THE DRY GRASS by Nuri Birge Ceylan with Deniz Celiloglu and Merve Dizdar. IN COMPETITION. Two characters, both teachers, a love story in the most remote corner of Anatolia. The great Turkish director continues his journey between feelings and nature. A river film.
-THE ZONE OF INTEREST by Jonathan Glazer with Sandra Hüller, Christian Friedel, Ralph Herforth. IN COMPETITION. The unlikely dream of normality for the commander of the Auschwitz concentration camp who believes he can build his Eden, with a villa and garden a stone's throw from the crematoria to live in serenity with his smiling family. Destiny has different ideas.
-LES FILLES D'OLFA by Kaouther Ben Hania with Hend Sabri, Olfa Hamrouni, Eya Chikahoui. IN COMPETITION. An extraordinary example of how cinema can affect reality. It starts as a documentary about the difficult life of a Tunisian mother who disappears, for no apparent reason, two daughters. The director investigates, approaches this woman with modesty and makes her the protagonist of a story on the screen. Truth becomes fiction, but it does not lose enamel and lucidity. - OMAR LA FRAISE by Elias Belkeddar with Reda Kateb, Benoît Magimel, Meriem Amiar. MIDNIGHT. Omar is an old-fashioned bandit, accustomed to respect for his peers and codes of honor. Forced to take refuge in Algeria with his old comrade Roger, he must adapt to a new life.
-HOW TO HAVE SEX by Molly Manning Walker with Mia McKenna-Bruce, Samuel Bottomley, Lara Peake. UN CERTAIN REGARD. The summer of great discoveries for Tara, Skye and Em, three British high school students burned by the sun on their first holiday in the Mediterranean. Among them is Tara who will have to understand if there is a limit not to be exceeded.
-LES MEUTES by Kamal Lazraq with Ayoub Elaid, Abdellatif Masstouri, Mohamed Hmimsa. UN CERTAIN REGARD. Father and son make do as they can, always on the border of legality, to make ends meet in Casablanca. Until one day, almost through involuntary clumsiness, they find themselves struggling with an unwanted corpse.
-THE NEW BOY by Warwick Thornton with Cate Blanchett, Deborah Mailman, Wayne Blair, Kenneth Radley. UN CERTAIN REGARD. Little Reid is nine years old, Aboriginal and orphaned. But in the Australia of the 40s the rights of those who are not white take a back seat. Reid ends up in a singular and terrifying orphanage run with an iron hand by Sister Eileen. - MEETING WITH LIV ULLMANN. For the Cannes Classics section, the biographical documentary on the great Norwegian actress/director, protagonist of Nordic cinema, is presented. Directed by Dheeraj Akolkar is titled "A Road Less Travelled".
-EUREKA by Lisandro Alonso with Viggo Mortensen, Chiara Mastroianni, Rafi Pitts, Sadie Lapointe. CANNES PREMIERE. Young Sadie waits unsuccessfully for a call from her aunt, a policewoman in crisis. Murphy will kidnap the girl and take her into the world of ancient beliefs and wilderness. Tribute to Chiara Mastroianni.
-IN FLAMES by Zarrar Kahn with Ramesha Nawal, Omar Javaid, Bakhtawar Mazhar. DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT. In today's Pakistan, suspended between brutal modernity and ancient traditions, a mother and daughter must survive the death of the patriarch, the man who has always ruled the fate of all.
-CONANN by Bertand Mandico with Elina Löwensohn, Christa Théret, Julia Riedler. DIRECTORS' FORTNIGHT. For years, the director has pursued the dream of reinterpreting the barbaric myth created by John Milius and Arnold Schwazenegger in a feminist key. Finally here she finds her icon in Conann, since she was a girl slave of Sanja and her barbarian horde, condemned to die six times and always be reborn.
-IL PLEUT DANS LA MAISON by Paloma Sermon-Dai with Purdey Lombet, Makenzy Lombet, Donovan Nizet. SEMAINE DE LA CRITIQUE. Seventeen-year-old Purdey and Mazensky, two years younger, are brothers. Left to themselves in a summer canicular, they survive on small trades and gimmicks.
