10 Most Anticipated Films At Cannes 2016

7. Julieta

Playing: In Competition

What Is It? Julieta is Pedro Almodóvar's fifth film to compete for the Palme d'Or, but will it be the one to finally break through and win him the prize? It certainly sounds interesting; played by Emma Suárez in the modern day and Adriana Ugarte years in the past, the film will chart the title character's life and struggles with mental illness.

Why It Should Be Great: Almodóvar is one of the greatest European directors working today and his Cannes-inclined work tends to show him at his most creative - The Skin I Live In was a flooring movie - so even though this looks a more restrained and intimate movie than his recent successes, it's a tricky, emotional ride I want to go on.
