* Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest" starring Denzel Washington
* Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme" with an impressive cast featuring Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson

Cannes Film Festival's Recent Success
Under the curation of Thierry Fremaux, the Cannes Film Festival has experienced a resurgence in popularity. The last edition premiered several award-winning films, including "Anora," "Emilia Perez," and "The Substance." However, commercial movies have mixed results at Cannes, with "Top Gun" benefiting from its festival debut while "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" received a more lukewarm reception.
