three other films that set cannes on fire

PARASITE

Director Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, Okja) won the Palme d’or for this dark social satire about a poor family who con their way into a rich family’s house. Expect shocking, funny twists.

ATLANTIQUE

This acclaimed debut from French-senegalese director Mati Diop (the first black female director to compete at Cannes) tells a timely social realist drama — with hints of the future and the supernatural.

PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE

Céline Sciamma (Girlhood) returns with a minimalist, elegant period piece about the passion between an artist and her subject. It won the Best Screenplay and Queer Palm award.
