Kicking off the festival is French-language film "Jeanne du Barry," which casts Johnny Depp as King Louis XV, his first major role since a highly publicized trial against his ex-wife. The only feature debut in competition this year is "Banel & Adama," a relationship drama set in a Senegalese village by French-Senegalese director Ramata-Toulaye Sy., who won the Palme d'Or for best picture last year with "Triangle of Sadness" as well as in 2017 with art world satire "The Square."
Making its debut as well is "Killers of the Flower Moon," a film version of the best-selling book about a series of murders targeting the oil-wealthy Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma. Directed by Scorsese, it stars DiCaprio as well as Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser and John Lithgow.
