From wartime France to the AIDS crisis and noir-soaked Los Angeles, Cannes is diving deep into stories of political upheaval and personal survival. Rami Malek stars in 'The Man I Love', Ira Sachs' intimate portrait of art, desire and loss in 1980s New York. Antonin Baudry’s epic 'De Gaulle' revisits France’s wartime collapse, while Andy García’s long-awaited noir 'Diamond' earned a standing ovation on the Croisette.
