In addition to the normal monthly Almanac episodes, I wanted to set aside time to talk about my favorite film festival of the year, Cannes. 

What are some of the movies I'm most excited about, both in competition and out of competition? What other bits of news did I find interesting? And what did you, the listeners tell me you're most excited about and think will win this year's Palme d'Or, the top prize at the festival?
