Cannes 2022: Deepika Padukone to be part of competition jury, here’s a look at her past appearances
Actor Deepika Padukone will be a part of the competition jury at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The jury comprises five men and four women, who will pick the winners of this year’s Palme d’Or honours. According to the current speculation, Deepika, who has been a red carpet regular at the festival since 2017, would be expected to walk for all ten days.
French actor Vincent Lindon will be the president of the jury of the 75th Cannes Film Festival. Joining him on the jury along with Deepika are actor-director Rebecca Hall, Noomi Rapace and Italian actor-director Jasmine Trinca, as well as directors Asghar Farhadi, Ladj Ly, Jeff Nichols and Joachim Trier. The jury will announce this year’s winners at a gala ceremony in Cannes on May 28.
Some of the films that will be screened at the prestigious festival include David Cronenberg’s dystopian sci-fi drama Crimes of the Future, starring Léa Seydoux, Kren Stewart and Viggo Mortensen; the mystery thriller Decision to Leave from South Korean director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy); and Showing Up from First Cow filmmaker Kelly Reichardt, which stars Michelle Williams. Meanwhile, previous Palme D’or winners including Hirokazu Kore-eda and Ruben Östlund are back in competition.
