The prestigious Cannes Film Festival has announced its lineup for the 77th edition, unveiling a captivating array of films from esteemed directors and promising newcomers. The festival, set to run from May 15 to 25, promises a diverse selection of movies competing for the coveted Palme d’Or.

The surreal and vibrant world of “Poor Things” earns your attention.
