www.festival-cannes.com

The Festival de Cannes will delighted to welcome Martin Scorsese next May on the Croisette, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, Jillian Dion, Tantoo Cardinal, along with additional cast and members of the filmmaking team for the World Premiere of “Killers of the Flower Moon”.

Based on David Grann’s best-selling book and written for the screen by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon is set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the "Reign of Terror".

The film will be screened on Saturday, May 20 in the Grand Théâtre Lumière. The event will mark the return of the filmmaker to the Official Selection for the first time since the presentation of “After Hours” in 1986.

“I am happy, proud, and humbled to be trusted with the honor of Jury president for this year's Competition at the Festival de Cannes. Nowhere in the film world is the anticipation as strong as when the curtain rises on the films in Competition at the festival. It is a privilege to be part of it, together with the Cannes audience of connoisseurs. I am sincere when I say that cinema culture is in its most important period ever. The cinema has a unique aspect - There, we watch together, and it demands more on what is shown and increases the intensity of the experience. It makes us reflect in a different way than when we dopamine scroll in front of the individual screens,” declared the future Cannes 2023 Jury President Ruben Östlund. With a track record of only 6 features, the filmmaker has already won 2 Palm d’Or for The Square (in 2017) and Triangle of Sadness (in 2022), and was awarded the Jury Prize in 2014 for Force Majeure. He also took part to the Un Certain Regard jury at the festival in 2016.
