Nineteen films will compete for the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival
At a press conference on Thursday, festival Director Thierry Fremaux and President Iris Knobloch announced the line-up for the 76th edition of major cinema showcase from May 16-27.
"It's a competition that will mix young filmmakers competing for the first time with veterans whose names and works we know," Fremaux said. Other directors in competition include American filmmaker Haynes with "May December" starring Oscar winners Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, Italian Nanni Moretti with "Il Sol Dell’Avvenire", German filmmaker Wim Wenders with "Perfect Days" and Japan's Hirokazu Kore-eda with "Monster".
Organisers have already announced the festival's opener - biographical drama "Jeanne du Barry" featuring Johnny Depp, the Hollywood star's first live-action film since his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard last year.
