"Cannes 2023: Glazer's Surprise Film, Scorsese's Response, and Depp's Controversy"
TL;DR
The Cannes Film Festival lineup for 2022 includes a record six women directors in competition, and festival head Thierry Frémaux is still trying to convince Martin Scorsese to enter his film, Killers of the Flower Moon, into the competition. Notable absences include Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, and there are concerns about the working environment on Sam Levinson's The Idol. Cannes may be turning a corner with a more progressive approach, including a female president and praise for streamers committing to theatrical releases.
