It’s time for the Cannes Film Festival jury to begin weighing up the 22 films competing for the Palme d’Or. FRANCE 24 film critic Emma Jones is on the French Riviera to walk us through the main themes emerging from this year’s competition. The official selection boasts a strong Asian presence, with one South Korean film in competition and three Japanese features, including Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Sheep in the Box”.

One of the day’s other highlights is the return of the original “The Fast and the Furious” film, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary and will be screened at midnight this Wednesday. Cast members such as Michelle Rodriguez are in town, so expect a display of cars along the red carpet and plenty of excitement.
