Already last year, Saint Laurent Productions enjoyed high visibility at the 73rd Cannes Film Festival, with the selection of its first two productions. These were by two illustrious directors: Pedro Almodovar’s medium-format “Strange Way of Life”, and the unfinished short opus “Drôles de Guerres” (“Phony Wars” in the international version) by Jean-Louis Godard, the iconic filmmaker of the Nouvelle Vague, who had died a few months earlier.

The crème de la crème of filmmakers

In 2024, for the selection of the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, presided over by director Greta Gerwig, from May 14 to 25, the production company continues to treat itself to the crème de la crème of filmmakers, and switches to long format.
