FRANCE 24's Culture Editor Eve Jackson brings us the latest from the Cannes Film Festival, including a look at one of the wildest movies the festival has seen in a while: "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma", from director Jane Schoenbrun. It's part-slasher movie, part-fever dream and part-commentary on fandom and identity. It stars Gillian Anderson, who we know best for "The X-Files" and "Sex Education". Opposite her is "Hacks" actress Hannah Einbinder playing a young queer filmmaker.

We also hear more about Barry Keoghan's new father-son drama set in New Jersey, "Butterfly Jam", and the 25th anniversary of the "Fast and Furious" franchise that had Vin Diesel in tears.
