The 2022 Directors’ Fortnight Lineup Includes Alex Garland’s ‘Men,’ New Films By Mia Hansen-Løve, Alice Winocour & More

The line-up for the 54th Directors’ Fortnight selection was announced this morning by General Delegate Paolo Moretti and his selection committee. On top of the previously announced opening night film, Pietro Marcello‘s “Scarlet,” he being the director of the well-regarded “Martin Eden” festival film, highlights from the films announced include Alex Garland‘s much-anticipated psychological horror “Men,” starring Jessie Buckley, a woman who retreats to the English countryside following the death of her husband. Garland is known for “Ex-Machina” and “Devs,” and the inclusion of this big a24 film is a big boon for the Director’s Fortnight.

Other highly anticipated films premiering at the Cannes sidebar festival include Mia Hansen-Løve‘s new romantic drama, “One Fine Morning” starring Léa Seydoux and Melvil Poupaud, and Alice Winocour‘s new film, “Paris Memories” with Virginie Efira, (“Benedetta“) and Benoît Magimel.

Additional titles of interest include a debut film by Owen Kline, titled “Funny Pages,” perhaps best remembered as the little boy in “The Squid And The Whale,” a new film from French Canadian actress Charlotte Le Bon called “Falcon Lake” and Léa Mysius‘ “The Five Devils” which stars Adèle Exarchopoulos.

Here’s the 2022 Director’s Fortnight lineup in full. However, the last title of the selection will be announced soon, as well as the selection of short and medium-length films.
