JULIA DUCOURNAU

After two years of the pandemic, the 75th Cannes Film Festival is getting going with a familiar dose of controversy and some new snafus as it readies for its largest gathering on the French Riviera since the 2019 edition.

After the 2020 Cannes Film Festival was canceled by the pandemic and the 2021 edition was scaled back — even kisses were forbade on the red carpet — the lavish French Riviera cinema soiree is set to return with a festival that promises to be something like normal.

A year after starring in the Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or winner “Titane,” French actor Vincent Lindon will preside over the jury that will decide the top prize at this year’s festival.

With tensions around the war in Ukraine as a backdrop, the Cannes Film Festival plans to host some 35,000 people as the movie industry looks to reclaim its pre-pandemic glamour.

Julia Ducournau's body-horror film was the most memorable movie of 2021. And the Oscars completely ignored it.

The film opens with a woman having sex with a car and going on a killing spree. It ends on a much more tender note.

A former employee, who filed anonymous federal complaints against Facebook, will reveal her identity on "60 Minutes" on Sunday night. CBSN technology reporter Dan Patterson joins Elise Preston to discuss the new accusations against the social media giant.

Pandemic moviegoing is finally starting to look like pre-pandemic moviegoing.

After five films in which he starred as Ian Fleming's secret agent James Bond, Daniel Craig is saying goodbye to the character with the release of "No Time to Die." Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz talks with Craig about playing 007, letting go, and who might follow him in the role.

And, as Ducournau — an intense, erudite filmmaker who makes movies about profound transformation — recently discussed, “Titane” is really a very optimistic film. You’re going to see your belly protruding. You’re going to see your boobs sagging. You’re going to see the stretch marks. DUCOURNAU: I’m not sure I’ve quite processed it yet and I’m pretty sure I never will.

Julia Ducournau's “Titane” has already developed the reputation of being the year’s wildest, most explosive movies.

Movies from 77 countries will screen at the 2021 London Film Festival, as Britain’s leading cinema showcase welcomes mass audiences back to movie theaters after a pandemic-disrupted year.

A year after depending on drive-in and virtual screenings, the New York Film Festival, one of the premier destinations of the fall festival circuit, will return to in-person premieres at Lincoln Center this September, with vaccination proof required for all attendees.

(AP Photo/Vadim Ghirda) (Vadim Ghirda)The awards ceremony for the 74th Cannes Film Festival has started where it should have ended, with jury president Spike Lee mistakenly announcing that the serial killer odyssey "Titane" as the winner of the festival's top honor, the Palme d'Or. Shouting and several moments of confusion ensued after Lee announced “Titane,” but Ducournau did not come to the stage to accept. The ceremony continued and other awards were handed out while Lee was seen with his head in his hands. Before the ceremony, Lee and the jury posed for photographers holding hands on the red carpet.

“Titane” has won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, making Julia Ducournau the second female filmmaker to win the festival’s top honor in its 74 year history.
