Of course, the film is Out of Competition.
Remember withTop Gun, people told me three years ago, Why is the film not in Competition?
In a way they are right, but the studio didnt want [that].

For the studio, it just needs to be a pleasure to be there.
Big American films are a pure piece of cinema.
Fremaux also addressed therecord Oscar haulfor the festivals 2024 selection.
Was I able one year ago able to guess the destiny ofAnora,Emilia PerezorThe Substance?
Its why this game is so wonderful.
Its also why our games I mean Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Telluride or Sundance is something wonderful.
Its about art, its about reception, more than ever, he said.
What happened toThe Substancewas incredible.
That is the power of Cannes, and we give this power to the artist.
If you look at the last seven, eight years, Cannes was great.
I mean Cannes and the films of Cannes were great and awarded everywhere, he said.
It is something we want the studios to understand.
Cannes is also a market.
We have to launch the movie in the best position.
The consideration we must have is for all 60 movies and not only the 20 movies in Competition.
Its a choice were proud of.
