Arts24 in Cannes: Which French films are seducing the Cannes audiences?

From the big screen treatment of one of French literature’s greatest classics, “The Count of Monte Cristo”, starring French favourite Pierre Niney, to “Wild Diamond”, a gritty social drama about a young French woman who dreams of becoming a famous influencer, arts24’s Eve Jackson looks at France’s offerings at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. We also look back at the life and career of “Star Wars” creator George Lucas as he receives a lifetime achievement award and ask critics for their picks for the top prize, the Palme d’Or.
