"Hirokazu Kore-eda, the director of Shoplifters is making a sci-fi film about AI. Na Hong-jin, the man behind The Wailing, is back at Cannes. Ryusuke Hamaguchi, who won Best Screenplay for Drive My Car, is debuting a French-language film. Lukas Dhont shot his WWI drama on actual battlefields near Ypres. Andrey Zvyagintsev is returning after nearly a decade away, having nearly died from COVID. These aren't franchise plays. They're filmmakers with something to say, given the biggest stage in world cinema to say it."
