As the stars prepare to descend on the Croisette for the Cannes Film Festival, Vogue spotlights 11 must-see movies on the 2019 line-up \u2013 from Palme d’Or-winning director Ken Loach’s return to the fantastical Elton John biopic, Rocketman.<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he 72nd edition of the French Riviera\u2019s premiere film festival returns this year from 14-25 May, with a jury presided over by Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu. On the line-up? Quentin Tarantino\u2019s Manson-era thriller Once Upon a Time in Hollywood<\/em>, fantasy musical Rocketman<\/em> and four female directors vying for the top prize \u2013 an improvement on last year following the red-carpet protest led by Cate Blanchett. Ahead of the opening, Vogue<\/em> shortlists the 11 biggest releases to watch.<\/p>\n

Rocketman<\/h3>\n

The hotly anticipated musical biopic of Elton John\u2019s life, co-produced by the pop icon himself, sees Taron Egerton take the lead, with Richard Madden and Jamie Bell as his manager John Reid and lyricist Bernie Taupin respectively, while Bryce Dallas Howard plays his mother Sheila. The film covers over a decade of John\u2019s life, from his early years at the Royal Academy of Music to his struggles with substance abuse and eventual acceptance of his sexual orientation. The soundtrack includes cover versions of his greatest hits, as well as \u201c(I\u2019m Gonna) Love Me Again\u201d, a newly written duet between Egerton and John. A rendition at the 2020 Oscars<\/a> is almost guaranteed.<\/p>\n

The narrative, feature-length debut of acclaimed director Mati Diop has made her the first black woman to participate in the main competition at Cannes<\/a>. An actress and filmmaker of French-Senegalese descent, Diop\u2019s latest offering is based on her 2009 documentary short Atlantiques<\/em>, in which a group of Senegalese men recount stories of their life-threatening boat crossings to Europe. Its big-screen counterpart follows a young woman whose life is disrupted by the sudden disappearance of her lover. As the bodies of his friends begin to wash up on the beaches of Dakar, she wonders if he could have survived the treacherous journey north.<\/p>\n

Pedro Almod\u00f3var and Antonio Banderas<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A new release from Pedro Almod\u00f3var is always cause for celebration, but never more so than when his longtime collaborators Pen\u00e9lope Cruz<\/a> and Antonio Banderas are involved. The trio return to the Croisette with Pain and Glory<\/em>, the tale of an ageing auteur overcome with nostalgia for his past. Brooding and confessional, he reflects on his greatest loves and losses \u2013 from his troubled friends and colleagues to his mother and the sun-drenched promise of his childhood. Expect all of Almod\u00f3var\u2019s usual trademarks: a bold, saturated colour palette, sweeping vistas and an operatic score that packs an emotional punch.<\/p>\n

Portrait of a Lady on Fire<\/h3>\n

French filmmaker C\u00e9line Sciamma came to prominence after her debut film Water Lilies<\/em> was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of Cannes in 2007. In 2014, she returned to the festival with the electrifying Girlhood<\/em>, and this year graduates to the main competition with Portrait of a Lady on Fire<\/em>. Building on her previous explorations of female sexuality, it is an intimate study of desire and deception between an artist and her model in 18th-century Brittany.<\/p>\n

A Hidden Life<\/h3>\n

After a slew of experimental projects, Terrence Malick marks his return to structured, narrative filmmaking with A Hidden Life<\/em>, the story of an Austrian conscientious objector who refuses to fight for the Nazis during the Second World War. The American director last came to Cannes in 2011, when he was awarded the Palme d\u2019Or for The Tree of Life<\/em>. With ravishing visuals and rave reviews from the earliest screenings, his latest historical drama is poised to become an even bigger critical hit.<\/p>\n

What better film to occupy the opening slot at Cannes than a Jim Jarmusch zombie comedy starring Adam Driver, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny, Tilda Swinton and Selena Gomez? Injecting lightness into an otherwise weighty line-up, The Dead Don\u2019t Die<\/em> is crowd-pleasing popcorn fare at its finest: a satirical romp about small-town cops fighting against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Seeing Swinton play a sword-wielding Scottish mortician is worth the price of admission alone.<\/p>\n

Matthias & Maxime<\/h3>\n

Xavier Dolan has long been a festival favourite. His first film, I Killed My Mother<\/em>, earned him a spot in the Director’s Fortnight section of Cannes in 2009 at the age of just 20. In 2014, he scooped the Jury Prize for Mommy<\/em> and in 2016 landed the Grand Prix for It’s Only the End of the World<\/em>. This year, the French-Canadian prodigy directs and stars in Matthias & Maxime<\/em>, a tense drama chronicling the intense friendship of two young men.<\/p>\n
