Cannes Film Festival: Three Competition Films and Star-Studded Red Carpet
On Saturday, three films premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival: Hirokazu Kore-eda's 'Sheep in the Box', Rodrigo Sorogoyen's 'El ser querido', and James Gray's 'Paper Tiger'. 'Sheep in the Box' is a sci-fi film about a couple who adopt an android identical to their deceased son. 'El ser querido', starring Javier Bardem, follows a famous director who offers his daughter a role in his new film to revive her acting career, leading to a redefined relationship on set. 'Paper Tiger' features Adam Driver and Miles Teller as brothers entangled in a Russian mafia conspiracy; Scarlett Johansson also stars but was absent due to other filming commitments. The day's photo collection also highlights 'Full Phil', an out-of-competition film with Woody Harrelson as a billionaire seeking reconciliation with his daughter, played by Kristen Stewart. Other notable attendees included Emma Mackey and Charlotte Le Bon.
