On the heels of the Cannes 2018 lineup (which still has a few titles to add), it’s now time for the sidebars of the festival and first up is the annual Critics’ Week, which is focused on emerging filmmakers. Opening the festival is one of our favorite films of Sundance, Paul Dano’s directorial debut Wildlife starring Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Amongst the lineup is also the psychological thriller Fugue, which is directed by The Lure helmer Agnieszka Smoczynska. Of Horses and Men director Benedikt Erlingsson is also back with the drama Woman At War, while most of the other directors come from first-time directors. Featuring a jury headed by Joachim Trier, and also including Chloe Sevigny, Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Eva Sangiorgi and Augustin Trapenard, see the line up below.
