Cannes Film Fest Releases Lineup for Its 70th Edition; Horror Entries Include Twin Peaks, Okja, and More!
The Cannes Film Festival has announced the lineup for its 70th edition, running May 17-28, and it includes some potentially fantastic titles. For example, there will be a screening of Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled, Bong Joon-ho’s Okja, and David Lynch will be present to premiere the first two episodes of the “Twin Peaks” revival. There will also be a screening of Takashi Miike’s Blade of the Immortal.
Supposedly, Cannes this year will be a highly politicized event with many of the films taking on issues that are prevalent in today’s culture and climate.
The full list of films can be found below.
