Rodrigo Sorogoyen's 'L'Être Aimé' Premieres at Cannes 2026

Rodrigo Sorogoyen's film 'L'Être Aimé' will compete at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and release in French theaters on May 16, 2026. The film stars Javier Bardem, Victoria Luengo, Raúl Arévalo, and Marina Foïs. The story follows a world-famous filmmaker who returns to Spain to shoot his new film, casting his estranged daughter—an unknown young actress he hasn't seen in thirteen years—in the lead role. She accepts the opportunity but must confront the man she has never considered a father, as past wounds threaten to reopen. The film is presented in partnership with Club Artistik Rezo.
