Along with Riddle Of Fire and Omar La Fraise, two Indian films, 'Agra' and 'Kennedy' were also premiered at the 76th edition of this prestigious festival.
Festival de Cannes is an annual celebration of the best of international cinema and previews new films of all genres, including documentaries. This year, the invitation-only festival's lineup spotlights a diverse collection of new works from auteurs such as Todd Haynes, Wes Anderson, Martin Scorsese, Catherine Breillat, Wim Wenders and Kore-eda Hirokazu.
Kennedy
Popular Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap's ‘Kennedy’ has been selected at the Cannes Film Festival for a Midnight Screening. The noir thriller revolves around Rahul Bhatt, an ex-cop who has been presumed dead but is secretly fighting against a corrupt system. Produced by Zee Studios and Good Bad Films, ‘Kennedy’ also features Sunny Leone, Megha Burman and Benedict Garrett and is expected to release in May. “Kennedy is a ghost in the system looking for redemption,” is how Anurag describes the plot and nothing more has been revealed.
Agra
Yoodlee Films' passion project ‘Agra’ is helmed by award-winning filmmaker Kanu Behl and will premiere at the Director’s Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival. The film bravely portrays how sexual repression and constrained spaces affect each other. It narrates the dilemma of the protagonist Guru who wants to get married and build a new room to live with his wife on the terrace but every member of his family tries to jeopardise this quest for privacy. What follows next is unexpected and revelatory. The social drama 'Agra' stars Rahul Roy, Mohit Agarwal , Priyanka Bose, Vibha Chibber, Sonal Jha, and Aanchal Goswami.
