Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence and Tom Cruise are among the Hollywood stars who are expected to hit the red carpet at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which begins on Tuesday.

The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious festivals in the film calendar and provides premiere for works that often win awards and praise.

Here are five things to follow the French Riviera.

In recent years, Cannes has reestablished its main launch pad for its award contenders.

Anora won the Palme d'Or in Cannes last May and then went on to win Best Picture at this year's Oscars. Four of the last five Palme d'Or winners were subsequently nominated for Best Picture.

This year's jury is led by French screen star Juliette Binoche, including actors Halle Berry and Jeremy Strong.

Palme d'Or's contenders this year include an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's novel Die My Love starring Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.

British actor Josh O'Connor - portraying a tennis player in the Challenger, playing a tennis player in the crown, the star of two films in two games, including "History of Paul Mescal" and Mastermind, plays an amateur art thief.

Wes Anderson's new film Phoenician Spine is the most starring lineup of Cannes this year, with Johansson, Benicio del Toro, Tom Hanks and Benedict Cumberbatch all featured Riz Ahmed, Bryan Cranston and Richard Ayoade.

Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone appeared in Eddington, a pandemic comedy from Ari Aster.

Director Richard Linklater's Nouvelle is described as telling the classic 1960 dyspnea story of Jean Luc Godard, in the same style and spirit as the original.

Black Widow star Johansson stomped behind the camera and will premiere her director debut Eleanor The Great, a woman from ’94, who unexpectedly caught the attention.

American actress Kristin Stewart will also bring her film directed by the chronology of Water based on the memoir of the same name by writer Lidia Yuknavitch.

Meanwhile, British star Harris Dickinson is another actor, behind the camera, the naughty boy tells the story of a tough London sleeper who struggles to change his life.

Their films will all compete on the secondary aspects of the festival.

Elsewhere, Hollywood legend Robert de Niro will collect honorary Palme d'Or.

Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's fifth film, with a maximum of 2, will exit the competition for the premiere. It's a high and low-key reinterpretation of Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's 1963 crime thriller "played on the average streets of modern New York."

Jodie Foster plays a psychiatrist who investigates the apparent murder of one of her patients in ViePrivée, a French language comedy that is also leaving the game.

Cruise will attend the premiere of the final mission: Impossible... He should choose to accept the invitation.

This year’s famous documentary includes putting your soul in your hands, walking, about Palestinian war photographer Fatima Hassouna, who killed her family at home in Israel the day after the festival announced her lineup last month.

Anger at her death increased interest in the feature.

Another film by the Palestinian twins Tarzan and Arab Nasser, once in Gaza, will be screened in the UN THE THE THE OFFIRE department.

Other documentaries on the lineup include a highly anticipated film about Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the $6 billion man who pulled from the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

Meanwhile, the documentary about U2 lead singer Bono is also in the festival bill, which is around 1984 novelist George Orwell.

The arrival of the verdict could cover up the opening day due to Gerard DePardieu's sexual assault trial.

The international star of the French film, 76, has been accused of attacking two women in 2021, denied the film.

The so-called sexual violence in the film industry is a hot topic - the French parliamentary investigation criticized "popular" abuse last month, and on Monday, screen legend Brigitte Bardot defended the actors of the two defendants, including Depardieu, saying they should be allowed to "continue to live."

These are not the only external events that will feel its existence on La Croisette.

Movie stars and industry deal producers may also have a word or two on the red carpet, introducing U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to impose 100% tariffs on foreign-made films.

French Culture Minister Rachida Dati recently said that the imposition of any such tariffs would result in “the American industry being punished, not our industry.”
