The Cannes Film Festival, while deeply rooted in French cinema, continues to exhibit a strong affection for American film. This is evident in the presentation of honorary awards to American filmmakers and the dominance of American movies in the festival's lineup. This year, notable American productions have generated significant buzz, including Demi Moore's starring role in a horror film and Sean Baker's acclaimed "Anora." The festival also features works from renowned directors such as Yorgos Lanthimos and David Cronenberg, reflecting a diverse range of cinematic experiences beyond Hollywood offerings. Moreover, the festival showcases international films that push boundaries and explore meaningful themes, distinct from traditional Hollywood conventions.
