French producer Victor Hadida, US actor Sylvester Stallone, Spanish actress Paz Vega and US producer Jeff Greenstein arrive for the screening of"Homage to Sylvester Stallone - Rambo : First Blood" at the 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, southern France, on May 24, 2019. With the jury due to begin their deliberations in a villa overlooking the Mediterranean, four films have been heavily tipped by critics as possible winners after a vintage year of top movies.
Whether a jury led by the Oscar-winning Mexican tyro Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu of “Birdman” and “The Revenant” fame will be swayed by such an array of Latin talent remains to be seen. Tellingly, however, Tarantino — who won the Palme d’Or 25 years ago for “Pulp Fiction” — has stayed behind in Cannes, prompting speculation that he is set for a big prize.
As well as being a worthy winner, it could please a jury which has three female filmmakers, the American Kelly Reichardt, Italian arthouse star Alice Rohrwacher and Burkina Faso’s Maimouna N’Diaye. The movie website Indiewire insisted that outsiders, like Cannes debutants Ladj Ly’s powerful look at his own high-rise home in the poor Paris suburbs, “Les Miserables”, and Mati Diop’s Senegalese migrant ghost story, “Atlantics”, might just get a foot in the door.
