Cannes 2026: Auteurs Steer the Lineup as Hollywood Retreats
TL;DR Summary
Cannes 2026 is shaping up as an auteur-driven festival with few major U.S. tentpoles, spotlighting work from Pedro Almodóvar, Nicolas Winding Refn, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Andrey Zvyagintsev, Cristian Mungiu, Hirokazu Kore-eda, and others; anticipated US entries include James Gray’s Paper Tiger and Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, while Hollywood studios pull back on festival premieres due to costs and risk.
