Cannes Film Festival 2023: 11 must-see films

Tomorrow, May 16, begins on the Cote d’Azur, one of the most important events in the world of cinema – the 76th Cannes Film Festival, which will last until 27 May. For actors, directors and other industry figures, this is a large-scale event, not even inferior to the Oscars, and the audience has something to see here: After all, among the same Oscar or Golden Globe nominees, films are consistently shown for the first time, especially at Cannes, therefore we do not recommend skipping the game show and any other screenings. What is the festival preparing to make us happy this year?


“Jeanne Dubarry”

Johnny Depp’s first role after his scandalous case with Amber Heard. This is the story of Jeanne Vaubernier, a young working-class woman who uses her wit and charm to climb the social ladder. She meets King Louis XV (played by Johnny Depp) and soon becomes his best friend, gradually gaining the status of one of the most influential women in France and the king’s official favorite. This, of course, is not to everyone’s liking.
