Cannes Film Festival Opens With Peter Jackson Honor, Hollywood Studios Notably Absent

The 79th Cannes Film Festival opened Tuesday with Peter Jackson receiving an honorary Palme d'Or, though major Hollywood studios largely stayed away. Jane Fonda and James Franco attended despite career setbacks. The festival, led by jury president Park Chan-wook, lacks blockbusters from Nolan or Spielberg but features international directors including Pedro Almodóvar and Cristian Mungiu.
