Surely, major awards such as this are bound to affect which films are later deemed important in cinematic history.

Several directors in the main competition this year have already won at Cannes before.
Meanwhile, British director Andrea Arnold’s road trip movie “American Honey” is eagerly awaited. Post-war romance From the Land of the Moon, starring Marion Cotillard, is written and directed by Nicole Garcia, and Maren Ade directs Toni Erdmann, about a father who decides to play a series of pranks on his solemn adult daughter.
At the premiere of Jodie Foster’s “Money Monster” on Thursday, Roberts went shoeless to climb the steps that conclude Cannes’ iconic carpet. Last year, Jane Fonda and producer Megan Ellison were honoured.
Celebrity gossip columnists were having a field day with the star, her choice of outfits and her antics with friends. I’d just keep it hidden for “In Memoriam” tributes. We dare say, quite audacious. Naomi Watts chose a pretty lilac Giorgio Armani Privé dress with just the right amount of sparkle, while Kristen Stewart proved that being the face of Chanel has its advantages, turning up in a look straight off the Cuba runway.

For the third time, the festival is opening with a Woody Allen film, “Cafe Society”. It is her first film in the United States. It’s a wonder what heights future female filmmakers could rise to if only given the chance.
