OSS 117: From Africa With Love to be the Last Screening at Cannes
- The new film by Nicolas Bedos, toplined by Jean Dujardin and Pierre Niney, will be world-premiered during the awards ceremony
The Official Selection of the 74th Cannes Film Festival (6-17 July) is finally complete. After an initial avalanche of titles including the contenders for the Palme d’Or (see the article) and the features being showcased in Un Certain Regard and the new Cannes Première section (see the news), followed by a flurry of extra additions (see the news) and the opening film of Un Certain Regard (see the article), the programme has now been rounded off with the movie set to be shown as the “Last Screening”.
On the evening of the awards ceremony, there will therefore be a world-premiere screening of the offbeat comedy OSS 117: From Africa With Love [+see also:
