Quentin Tarantino will be guest of honor of Cannes Classics this year with a special tribute devoted to US director George Sherman.
The Cannes regular, who won the Palme d’Or winner for Pulp Fiction and President of the Jury in 2004 , will share his passion for Sherman’s work with screenings of two of his westerns made for Universal Pictures – Red Canyon and Comanche Territory – and one of his most creative periods.
The discussion with Tarantino will be moderated by critic and documentary filmmaker Elvis Mitchell.
Other highlights of the program include Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush pre-opening screening to mark the centenary of its making as well as a 25th anniversary screening of Amores perros by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and The 50th anniversary screening of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
