10 Most Anticipated Films At Cannes 2016

6. The Unknown Girl

Playing: In Competition

What Is It? Almodóvar's five Cannes films look positively paltry alongside the Dardenne brothers, who will be making their eighth appearance In Competition with The Unknown Girl. which will follow Adèle Haenel as a doctor trying to to track down a patient who died after refusing surgery. If that sounds like a propulsive story though, it probably isn't; as it's the Dardenne's, expect instead a thoughtfully-paced character study.

Why It Should Be Great: You don't get into the Palme d'Or competition eight times without doing something right. The Dardenne's realist style isn't for everyone, but in the cool screening rooms shielded from the overwhelming heat there's little of that opposition. They are the Kings of Cannes, embodying everything the festival unspokenly stands for, and Two Days, One Night showed they've not dulled at all over the years.
