As usual, even though they initially announced the line-up, Cannes has a few more titles to add their slate, including one of our most-anticipated films of the year. Asghar Farhadi will return to the festival with The Salesman, which reunites him with regulars Shahab Hosseini (About Elly, A Separation) and Tareneh Alidoosti (About Elly, Fireworks Wednesday). Playing in competition, it was reported the drama centers on a couple performing together in Arthur Miller’s Death of A Salesman.
Other titles includes the Mel Gibson-led action thriller Blood Father (see the railer here) and David Mackenzie‘s Starred Up follow-up, the western crime drama Hell or High Water, scripted by Sicario’s Taylor Sheridan and starring Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Jeff Bridges. Check out the additions below.
