Cannes 2023 Jury: Brie Larson to Paul Dano; Here’s full list of the panel

The 2023 Cannes jury class has been revealed, and it’s an exciting lineup of actors and directors. The 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, set to take place in May, has given insight into the jury members for this year’s film festival. The festival’s jury, helmed this year by “Triangle of Sadness” filmmaker and 2022 Palme d’Or winner Ruben OStlund, has been filled out with a star-studded lineup.

Here’s the full list of the panel:

– Actors Paul Dano and Brie Larson
– Moroccan Director Maryam Touzani
– French actor Denis Ménochet
– British-Zambian screenwriter and director Rungano Nyoni
– Afghan author Atiq Rahimi
– Argentine director and screenwriter Damián Szifrón
– Director Julia Ducournau, who won the Palme d’Or in 2021 for her film “Titane”

Ruben OStlund is appointed as Jury President for Cannes 2023. Cannes revealed OStlund’s appointment as jury president on Feb. 27, leaving a significant gap of over two months until the complete jury revelation. As in previous years, the majority of the jury members have been those who have directed or starred in films that have screened at the festival.

Newcomer Brie Larson will serve as a jury member for Cannes 2023. Despite starring in a number of indie films, “Captain Marvel” star Brie Larson appears to be a relative newcomer to Cannes. This summer, she will be starring in “Fast X” and “Lessons in Chemistry.”

Paul Dano has already appeared in two films at the Cannes Film Festival: Paolo Sorrentino’s “Youth” and Bong Joon-ho’s “Okja.” Meanwhile, OStlund has received the festival’s top award twice, for “Triangle of Sadness” in 2022 and “The Square” in 2017. Prior to that, he presented two films at Un Certain Regard, one of which, “Force Majeure,” won the Jury Prize.

Excitingly, Ruben OStlund will be the first Swede to lead the Cannes jury in 50 years, following Ingrid Bergman’s example. “I am happy, proud, and humbled to be trusted with the honor of jury president for this year’s competition at the Festival de Cannes,” said OStlund. “Nowhere in the film world is the anticipation as strong as when the curtain rises on the films in competition at the festival.”

When will the Cannes Film Festival begin? Cannes will hold its 76th edition from May 16 to 27.

Overall, the 2023 Cannes Film Festival jury is an exciting lineup of actors and directors. Brie Larson and Paul Dano are both talented actors so their insights are sure to be valued in the judging. Ruben OStlund is a director who’s gained worldwide recognition, so it’s an excellent opportunity for Cannes to have him on the jury. We’re excited to see what the jury has in store for this year’s films in competition.
