Cannes 2025: Theme to Highlights Including Robert De Niro’s Honor; Here’s All About Film Festival Ahead of Curtain Raise

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share that within mere hours, the grand spectacle of the Cannes Film Festival unfurls! The 78th installment invites us to step into its glamorous world. As the velvet curtains part, celebrities will gracefully stride down the red carpet, each one exuding their unique brand of flawless elegance.

At the French Film Festival, cinephiles eagerly anticipate a thrilling experience, since the filmmakers and actors strive to present their finest work on the big screen with each featured project.

This year, the American troop is substantial. Kicking off on Tuesday, Tom Cruise will join in with the climactic installment of the Mission Impossible series. The team anticipates a thunderous reception for “Final Reckoning,” as did “Top Gun: Maverick” three years prior.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the Palme d’Or award is being given to Robert De Niro this year, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of his film, Taxi Driver.

Furthermore, Spike Lee, a member of the jury in 2021, will return in collaboration with Denzel Washington for the film titled Highest 2 Lowest.

Among the eagerly awaited films at the festival are “Die, My Love” and “Honey Boy,” both directed by the acclaimed Wes Anderson who is set to compete for the fourth time with his latest work, “The Phoenician Scheme.

One significant aspect of the occasion was the attendance of Angelina Jolie, who held the title of the Godmother for the Trophee Chopard honor.

At the same time, the festival will honor celebrities working as directors and in other off-screen roles. Notably, films like Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut and Scarlett Johansson’s Eleanor the Great will be featured during the event.

2025’s theme for Cannes is “Lights, Glamour, and Adventure,” with attendees expected to match their outfits to this theme. This year’s star-studded event invites celebrities like Tom Hanks, Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Josh Connor, Michael Cera, and Benicio del Toro, along with several others. Notable Indian stars such as Aishwarya Rai and Alia Bhatt are also expected to grace the Cannes red carpet.
