The world premiere of Rocketman at Cannes 2019 was a star-studded affair. Elton John, on whom the film is based made an appearance and posed alongside Taron Egerton, who portrays him onscreen. Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard were also in attendance. According to The Hollywood Reporter, John and Egerton even surprised the audience with a surprise duet after the premiere. The film was met with a four-minute long standing ovation, bringing Egerton to tears and Dexter Fletcher thanking the audience.    Ladj Ly on Les Misérables [caption id=“attachment_6650231” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]Ladj Ly. Image from Twitter @baphometx Ladj Ly. Image from Twitter @baphometx[/caption] Ladj Ly, who drew comparisons to Spike Lee at the world’s top film festival, said President Emmanuel Macron should watch his searing debut feature Les Miserables if he wants to understand the wave of anger that has shaken France since November. The film takes a unflinching look at mounting rage in largely black and Arab communities over police harassment, failing schools and meagre job prospects. “The ‘yellow vests’ have been in the streets for six months demanding their rights be recognised,” the 39-year-old filmmaker told Agence-Presse France. It is one of 21 pictures vying for the Palme d’Or top prize against competition from the likes of Quentin Tarantino, Terrence Malick, Ken Loach and Pedro Almodovar.

French-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop made her debut with Atlantique (Atlantics), becoming the first woman of colour to present a film at the Competition section. In attendance were Mama Bineta Same and the cast. The film is based Diop’s short film of the same name. “The story of Atlantique begins with the departure of Souleiman, a young native of Dakar who is forced to leave his country by sea in hope of a better life. Starting from this sadly commonplace reality marked by the collective tragedies of illegal immigration, Mati Diop pays tribute to a Senegalese youth wounded and yet touched by grace, one that is also capable of a citizens’ resurgence such as the “Y’en a Marre” (“Fed Up”) movement conducted in 2012 against President Wade,” states the official synopsis. Sorry We Missed You premiere
