The film world’s big beasts, including Terrence Malick, Ken Loach and Werner Herzog, have films premiering in May at the Cannes film festival – but Quentin Tarantino’s will be conspicuous by its absence after it was declared “not ready”.
As predicted, neither the Martin Scorsese gangster film The Irishman, nor Steven Soderbergh’s investigative drama The Laundromat – two of Netflix’s highest-profile films – appeared in the Cannes selection.
The Cannes film festival runs 14-25 May.
However, it was also suggested that neither film would be finished in time, thereby avoiding a full-on clash.
