The Cannes Film Festival will proceed as scheduled.

As the number of coronavirus cases in France rises to 1,126, the country’s health minister has banned gatherings of more than 1,000 people in confined spaces in an effort to contain the outbreak, which has already caused 19 deaths.

Lewis Capaldi has branded Sean Connery a "bam" after he said he disagreed with his views on hitting women.

What’s hotter than a tall, lanky, talented, neurotic Adam Driver? A tall, lanky, talented, neurotic Adam Driver who does nice things for his co-stars’ kids.

As if the world needed another reason to love Adam Driver.  On Tuesday, Ben Affleck stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live and couldn't help but gush over the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker star.

At 34, Bridget doesn’t know what she wants, but she knows she doesn’t want a baby — not now, at least — and so she doesn’t hesitate to make the decision that might’ve served as the focal point of a different kind of film. In “Saint Frances,” getting an abortion is just one of the many things that happens to Bridget, and the casualness with which it’s presented will outrage some.

In the moody French policier Night Shift (Police), three officers are tasked with escorting an illegal immigrant to Charles de Gaulle airport, where he will be forced onto a plane and sent back to his homeland. According to statistics, this is something that happens all too frequently in France, where nearly 24,000 people were deported last year alone.

With stellar albums from Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Selena Gomez and Grimes over the past few months, it’s been a hot stretch for the genre inaccurately but conveniently labelled “alt-pop” — and joining the group is this surprise release from France’s Christine and the Queens, who recently collaborated with two of the above artists.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are sporting new looks for their upcoming roles! The longtime pals were spotted on the set of , in Sarlat, France, earlier this week and they were both getting into their medieval characters.

Filmmaker Roman Polanski is skipping the awards ceremony for France’s equivalent of the Oscars – where his latest movie leads this year’s nominations – because of protests prompted by a new rape accusation against him.

RENAULT’S Laurens van den Acker is the designer with the golden touch when it comes to incredibly chic French cars.

The latest work from scrappy French iconoclasts Benoit Delepine and Gustave Kervern (I Feel Good,Near Death Experience) is at once a dramedy that dips into yellow-vest sentiment in suburban France; a farce about the digital world that surrounds us and seems to command us more than actually help us; and an all-round, utterly depressing movie about the world we live in today.

A memorable occasion! The Paris KFC Kim Kardashian and Kanye West unexpectedly visited on Wednesday, February 19, has made sure the duo’s jaunt to the eatery will never be forgotten.

To some extent, withThe Salt of Tears (Le Sel des larmes)French post-New Wave director Philippe Garrel continues in the familiar vein of his last three films, the intimate dramasJealousy, In the Shadow of Women andLover for a Day. It's shot in black-and-white, it looks at relationship issues surrounding fathers and lovers and much of the same below-the-line talent has collaborated on this effort as well, from production designer Manu de Chauvigny to composer Jean-Louis Aubert.
