Cannes’nt Stop, Won’t Stop,Johnny Depp’s new film, ‘Jeanne du Barry,’ will open the 76th Festival de Cannes on May 16 at the Grand Théâtre Lumière. ‘Indiana Jones 5’ and The Weeknd and Sam Levinson’s ‘The Idol’ will also premiere at Cannes 2023. Here’s the full lineup.

Cannes’nt Stop, Won’t Stop

The first thing Cannes 2023 attendees will see on the big screen is Johnny Depp, and the last thing they’ll see is Disney Pixar’s latest 3-D-animated parable, Elemental. Jeanne du Barry, Depp’s first film role in three years and latest attempt to rehabilitate his image, directed by Maïwenn, will open the 76th Festival de Cannes on May 16 at the Grand Théâtre Lumière (and will likely have the unfortunate effect of giving Depp apologists something to TikTok about). Depp plays a love-blinded Louis XV, who seems to think the court of Versailles will accept his lover. On April 7, just after the first films were announced for the upcoming bacchanal in the south of France, Jeanne du Barry’s director was sued for allegedly assaulting a journalist. It’s not the only thing in the lineup bringing its drama to the Riviera — Sam Levinson’s The Idol will debut out of competition, a show that some sources described as a “rape fantasy.”

The remaining lineup at Cannes includes the latest offerings from some of the most beloved auteurs (and franchises) working right now. Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, will debut there, marking the filmmaker’s return to the Official Selection since After Hours in 1986. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fifth installment in the franchise, will also take a bow at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in the Official Selection. Formalist director and nostalgic-object enthusiast Wes Anderson will premiere his new film, the star-studded alien-invasion comedy Asteroid City, at Cannes as well, together with Alice Rohrwacher’s La Chimera, Wim Wenders’s Perfect Days, and Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Monster. Below, the full lineup.
