The return of Francis Ford Coppola with MegalopolisFrom David Cronenberg with Les Shrouds or even Yórgos Lánthimos (already!) with Types of kindness… Many films selected at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival are anticipated as real events in the world of cinema and make viewers tremble with impatience. For our part, we are curious to know the emerging directors who have established themselves at the festival.
The Drama Queens by Alexis Langlois
Punk and lesbian musical comedy, The Queens of Drama is the first feature film by French director Alexis Langlois. This young director is adored by film lovers queer.
The film takes us to 2055 where Steevyshady, a hyperbotoxed YouTuber, recounts the incandescent destiny of his idol, pop diva Mimi Madamour, from the height of her glory in 2005 to her descent into hell, accelerated by her love affair with the punk icon Billie Kohler. For half a century, these drama queens have sung their passion and anger in the spotlight.
The Pampaby Antoine Chevrollier
First feature film by French director Antoine Chevrollier, The Pampa it immerses us in the rural French environment from which the director comes. He paints a picture of friendship as a bulwark against intolerance. If we wait impatiently The Pampathis is mainly due to the fact that Antoine Chevrollier is the director of this excellent series Oussekineas well as several episodes of Black Baron AND Office of Legendswhich are among the best French series.
Rough Diamond, by Agathe Riedinger
Liane, 19 years old, reckless and incandescent, lives with her mother and little sister under the dusty sun of Fréjus.

Eat at night, Carolina Poggi and Jonathan Vinel
After exploring it in their short films, the French director duo Carolina Poggi and Jonathan Vinel immerse us once again in the world of video game.
Pablo and his sister Apolline escape from their daily lives by playing Darknoon, a video game they watched growing up. One day Pablo meets Night, who introduces him to his little business, and distances himself from Apolline. As the end of the game approaches, the two boys provoke the wrath of a rival gang…

The Trial of the Dog, by Laetitia Dosch
The one who played the protagonist of Justine Triet’s first film is making her first film and, like her, has won her place at the Cannes Film Festival. And rightly so, The dog test already seems like a nice nod to Anatomy of a fall…except it pushes the sliders of the absurd much further.
Avril, a lawyer who supports lost causes, has made a promise to herself: she will win the next case. But when Dariuch, a client as desperate as her cause, asks him to defend his faithful companion Cosmos, a dog accused of biting three times, Avril’s beliefs take over. Then begins a process as unexpected as it is exciting: the trial of the dog. The film is carried out by a team of actors accustomed to comedies, including Jean-Pascal Zadi AND François Damiens.
The film will be released in cinemas on Sept. 11 2024.
