A luminary-packed tribute that lifts the curtain on the Cannes Film Festival in its 75th year – for as they say in France, ‘the story of Cannes is the story of cinema’.
Cannes Uncut covers it all, from the festival’s birth and first awards, to the 1968 protests, its numerous controversies and glorious excesses, triumphs and failures. It celebrates the glamour, red carpets, films, stunts, deals, parties and personalities. Plus, the Palm Dog Award for best canine performance, of course. What results is an exhilarating, behind-the-scenes look at 75 years of cinema history. Featuring interviews with festival head Thierry Frémaux; Cannes regulars Tilda Swinton, Juliette Binoche and Léa Seydoux; filmmakers such as Lynne Ramsay, Mike Leigh, Quentin Tarantino, Sean Baker, Ken Loach and Wim Wenders; photographers, programmers, fashion designers and more.
