what films will we see on the Croisette?

Cannes Film Festival 2023: we have entered the week that will lead us to the Night of the Oscars and we are already thinking about the next festivals which will highlight the films that will be the contenders for the Oscar 2024. The festival that is approaching is that of Cannes, which will be held from 16 to 27 May.

Which films could be present at the Cannes Film Festival 2023?

The most talked about film these days is the opening film. Which film will open the Cannes 2023 festival? There are different voices every day. Until yesterday, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was destined to have its premiere at the Croisette Festival. As if that weren’t enough, here’s the tweet from Matthew Modine – in the cast of the film – who accompanied the new poster with the hashtag #Cannes2023. However, this tweet was promptly deleted. And the latest ones consider it unlikely that Nolan (who doesn’t particularly like festivals) will bring the film to Cannes. Here then is the latest indiscretion that he wants the Killers of the Flower Moon

Of Martin Scorseseas the opening film.

the Killers of the Flower Moon

As anticipated by Deadline, Apple has long considered a Cannes 2023 debut for Martin Scorsese’s latest film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro. Nothing is signed and sealed yet, but a probable release plan for the film includes a release through Paramount after the Croisette premiere. And it would be a big blow for Cannes.

Plot

The film chronicles the murders that took place among the members of an Indian tribe in Oklahohma after oil was found in their territory. Between conspiracies, assassinations and plots, the situation quickly escalated, forcing the government to take control.

Cannes Film Festival 2023: Massacre Way of Life

Surprisingly, the opening film should be a 40-minute western short film spoken in English, Massacre Way of Life, directed by Pedro Almodóvar and starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal.

Jeanne du Barry

Rumors have long abounded that Maïwenn’s historical drama will be launched at Cannes. The film is loosely based on the life of Jeanne du Barry, Louis XV’s last royal mistress at the court of Versailles. The actress-director plays the main lead alongside Johnny Depp

in the role of the king. It marks Depp’s first film role in three years, following his victory in a turbulent libel trial against ex-wife Amber Heard earlier this year.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Harrison Ford has said Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate will be his last tour of duty as the intrepid archaeologist and adventurer he’s played five times, starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981. Hopes to see him at Cannes they are concrete. There is nothing established. The new installment takes place against the backdrop of the US Soviet Space Race and also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas and Cannes Best Actor winner Mads Mikkelse.

More movies

Other films that we could find in Cannes are: The Palace by Roman Polanski, Blitz by Steve McQueen and Stone Mattress by Lynne Ramsay. Not to mention Asteroid City by Wes Anderson, Poor Things by Yorgos Lanthimos, La Chimera, the new film by Alice Rohrwacher, the Italian director much loved by Cannes, Priscilla by Sofia Coppola, The Empire by Bruno Dumont, The Old Loak by Ken Loach.
