His return to the Croisette this year is one of the major talking points amongst cinephiles. However, veteran filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who is in Competition for the Palme d’Or with his latest project Megalopolis, is now facing reports that he ran a chaotic set, which included him smoking pot, leaving cast and crew stranded for direction, and behaving in “an old school manner” with female extras on set. The story was first reported by TheGuardian, which cited sources who said Coppola, 85, made women sit on his lap and tried to kiss several topless or scantily clad female extras. Megalopo...

Opening films at the Cannes Film Festival are rarely all that good. In recent years, Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die, Michel Hazanavicius’ Final Cut and Maïwenn’s Jeanne Du Barry singularly failed to raise pulses, and the opening gala slot has increasingly felt like a way for critics to get warmed up by getting some early venom-spitting out of the way before the Competition starts off in earnest. Now, with the backdrop of war, possible #MeToo scandals, strikes, one of the Competition directors fleeing his home country to avoid prison time, and the festival’s artistic director Thierry Frémaux...

An appeal has been made by the movie weapons armorer convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on the set of the Western film “Rust,” according to new court documents.

Prosecutors blame Gutierrez-Reed for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the set of “Rust,” where it was expressly prohibited, and for failing to follow basic gun-safety pro...

Acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof has confirmed that he has managed to leave his home country without official permission, after being sentenced to eight years in prison and flogging for national security crimes. Last week, the Iranian court found Rasoulof’s films and documentaries to be “examples of collusion with the intention of committing a crime against the security of the country.” This sentencing came days before the start of the Cannes Film Festival – where his new film The Seed of the Sacred Fig is set to premiere in Competition on Friday 24 May. In a statement issued from...

Cannes (France) (AFP) - There is a strong case to be made that Meryl Streep, who picks up a lifetime achievement award at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, is the most respected actor of her generation. Streep, 74, has amassed a record haul of awards and built a filmography of modern classics that stretches across six decades, from dramas such as "The Deer Hunter", "The French Lieutenant's Woman" and "Kramer vs. Kramer", to family favourites like "Mamma Mia!" and "The Devil Wears Prada". It is her vocal skills that have often set her apart -- from the Danish drawl in "Out of Africa" to her...

In his annual pre-festival opening press conference, Cannes General Delegate Thierry Frémaux announced that he would like to “have a festival free of polemics.” Hot-button topics like #MeToo, with the looming report of abuse in French cinema, the threat of employment strikes disrupting this year’s edition of the festival, as well as the war in Gaza, were largely avoided by Frémaux. When asked if the festival had, as widely reported, hired a crisis management team to deal with the possible earthquake of #MeToo allegations against French talent taking part in this year’s festival, Frémaux said h...

Disney+ have recently re-released a rarely-seen 1970 documentary film titled 'Let It Be', chronicling The Beatles' rehearsals and recordings in January 1969, for what would ultimately become their twelfth and final studio album. The original documentary has been somewhat of a holy grail for Beatles fans, shrouded in mystery due its unavailability for purchase or streaming. This is partly because the original master tapes mysteriously vanished from Apple Corps shortly after the film's completion. Now, the "lost film", shot on 16mm negative, has been meticulously restored and remastered into 4k....
