By unanimity, his masterpiece was a time the favorite of the Festival before returning with the Right Honourable Jury Prize, tied with Farewell to Language Godard. Having himself been a jury member last year, Dolan arrives at Cannes this year with Just the end of the world, adaptation of the eponymous play by Jean-Luc Lagarce, led by the cream of French cinema, Marion Cotillard Lea Seydoux via Nathalie Baye, Vincent Cassel and Gaspard Ulliel. A five star cast that will be the young “prodigy” the highly anticipated Palme d’Or.
