possible, to cause as little nuisance as possible -- so the party can stay a
party."

arrival of virtual reality.

movies as proof of its new status as a major industry player, dominated the
run-up to the festival.
The US platform has refused to screen the two movies in French cinemas due to strict rules that mean films cannot be streamed from subscription services in
France until three years after their traditional box office release.

move that could effectively ban Netflix from taking part in the future.

establishment for "closing ranks" against it.

record-breaking third Palme d'Or.
Another highlight will be Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu showcasing a virtual reality project that allows the viewer to walk in the
footsteps of refugees.
The extravaganza's opening ceremony on Wednesday evening will be hosted by Italian actress Monica
