"Since then it's all gone a bit quiet, a planned desert-island drama starring Joaquin Phoenix scuppered by the Sag-Aftra strikes just as filming was due to begin, so excitement is understandably high for Fatherland, starring Sandra Hüller as Erika Mann, who takes a trip through the newly divided Germany with her dad, the author Thomas Mann, as the dust still settles on the Second World War."
Cannes 2026 will not feature Tom Cruise or the familiar old-Hollywood spectacle. The lineup omits new work from Cristian Mungiu, Pedro Almodóvar, Asghar Farhadi, and Ira Sachs. Park Chan-wook leads the main competition jury, raising expectations for bold contenders aiming for the Palme d’Or. Pawlikowski, known for Ida and Cold War, returns with Fatherland, starring Sandra Hüller as Erika Mann traveling through newly divided Germany with her father, Thomas Mann, as post–World War II dust settles. Balogov, recognized for Beanpole, presents a new story about a Russian migrant in New Jersey trying to become a wrestler while working in his father’s Circassian restaurant, featuring a strong cast including Barry Keog.
