James Gray's Paper Tiger was one of 16 additional films announced in this year's Cannes line-up earlier today.
The crime drama starring Adam Driver, Scarlet Johansson and Miles Teller joins the main competition and marks the sixth time Gray has premiere a film in Cannes. He was last at the festival in 2022, with Armageddon Time.
Four titles have been added to the Un Certain Regard section, including Laetitia Masson's Ulysse, which will close the strand. Also added to the section is A Girl's Story by French acting star and feminist activist Judith Godrèche, who previously made short film Moi Aussi about survivors of sexual violence. The adaptation of Annie Ernaux's autobiographical book features Valérie Dréville, Tess Barthélémy, Maïwène Barthélémy and Anna Mouglalis in the cast.
Also joining Un Certain Regard is Zachary Wigon’s gothic horror-thriller Victorian Psycho, which has Maika Monroe, Jason Isaacs, Thomasin McKenzie and and Ruth Wilson in the cast; and Konstantina Kotzamani's Titanic Ocean about a boarding school that teaches girls to be ' professional mermaids'.
Among the Special Screening additions is Christophe Honoré's family drama Orange Flavoured Wedding, it sees him collaborate again with his Winter Boy stars Vincent Lacoste and Paul Kircher, alongside Adele Exacharpoulos and Nadia Tereszkiewicz.
Other notable additions include Ashes, the latest from from Mexican star Diego Luna, which charts a young woman's struggle after she moves to Spain with her teenage brother to be reunited with their mother. It is based on the novel, Ashes In The Mouth by Brenda Navarro.
