Woody Allen’s new romcom, Midnight in Paris, will open this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
The film, which festival director Thierry Frémaux described as “a wonderful love letter to Paris”, will be shown on 11 May – the same day it is released across France.
Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams star alongside Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates, Adrien Brody, Gad Elmaleh and Léa Seydoux. French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, also makes a cameo appearance.
