George Lucas
Image Credit: Victoria Stevens for Variety The “Star Wars” mastermind was on hand to receive an honorary Palme d’Or. The latest chapter in the “Indiana Jones” franchise premiered at the festival last year, though Lucas was barely involved in its production — that’s a good thing, since the film flopped.

Willem Dafoe
Image Credit: Victoria Stevens for Variety There’s no such thing as too much Yorgos. Dafoe reunites with his “Poor Things” director on “Kinds of Kindness,” playing both a religious leader and a corporate overlord. The film, which marks Lanthimos’ return to Cannes for the first time since 2017’s “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” examines human beings’ need for control.
