How the Cannes 2026 films reflect a world in conflict
The 2026 Cannes Film Festival, concluding on May 23, features a lineup of films focused on war, authoritarianism, and historical trauma, drawing parallels between past conflicts and contemporary global tensions like the rise of far-right movements in Europe. Standout works include Emmanuel Marre’s "A Man of His Time" (exploring French collaboration with the Nazis), Volker Schlöndorff’s "Visitation" (tracking three German families through decades of upheaval), and Andrey Zvyagintsev’s "Minotaur"—a scathing political thriller set against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that criticizes the Putin regime and is a clear frontrunner for the Palme d’Or.
