This year's lineup includes many of the most acclaimed filmmakers in the world – many of whom are Cannes regulars. Among them: Wes Anderson ("The French Dispatch"), Asghar Farhadi ("A Hero"), Paul Verhoeven ("Benedetta"), Jacques Audiard ("Paris, 13th District"), Bruno Dumont ("Par un Demi Clair Matin") and Sean Penn ("Flag Day"). Some of the movies, like Anderson's, were official selections last year for a festival that never happened. here

On Tuesday, the Cannes Film Festival, delayed from May to July, will finally open its doors for its 74th and maybe most critical edition. Its famed red carpet will again flood with stars. The screens will be relit. And, maybe, the movies will rekindle some of the romance and grandeur that went dormant this past pandemic year.
