The festival, whose main competition will be presided by
Australian director George Miller, will kick of on Wednesday
with Woody Allen’s Café Society.
The yellow poster, picturing French actor Michel Piccoli
climbing the stairs of Capri’s Villa Malaparte in Jean-Luc
Godard’s Le Mepris (Contempt) was lifted on two facades of the
Palais des Festivals, where the films in the main competition
will be shown from May 11-22.
American actress Kristen Stewart has already been dubbed ‘Queen
of Cannes’ by organizers as she stars in the opening film as
well as Olivier Assayas’s in-competition film ‘Personal
Shopper’, which will be screened on Tuesday, May 17.
Other celebrities expected on the Croisette include Julia
Roberts, who will feature in a Cannes film for the first time.
