Cannes Classics Lineup Includes Ethan Hawkes The Last Movie Stars, Restorations Of Singin In The Rain, The Mother And The Whore & More Full List

The Cannes Film Festival has set its lineup for the Cannes Classics program which shines a spotlight on restorations of classic movies, and features contemporary documentaries about film. Kicking off the sidebar is Jean Eustache’s controversial 1972 The Mother And The Whore, the 1973 Cannes Grand Prize winner which incited riots at the time. Also included in the program are films by Vittorio de Sica (Sciuscià), Satyajit Ray (The Adversary), Orson Welles (The Trial) and Martin Scorsese (The Last Waltz), as well as a new 4K master of Singin’ In The Rain to mark the movie’s 70th anniversary.

Among the documentaries is Ethan Hawke’s study of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, The Last Movie Stars. Executive produced by Scorsese, it features Karen Allen, George Clooney, Oscar Isaac, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Zoe Kazan, Laura Linney and Sam Rockwell, among others, in an exploration of the iconic couple and American cinema. Two installments of the six-episode series will screen on the Riviera, presented by Nook House Productions, Under the Influence Productions, CNN Films and HBOMax. Hawke previously unveiled the first episode at SXSW in March.
