Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek has returned to the Cannes spotlight with “The Man I Love”, the latest film from indie director Ira Sachs, premiering on the Croisette alongside co-stars Rebecca Hall, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Tom Sturridge. The film sees Malek play a downtown New York performance artist during the late 1980s AIDS crisis – a role the actor compared to portraying Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
FRANCE 24 Culture Editor Eve Jackson and journalist Stella Elgersma also talk about Norwegian pop star “Girl in Red” as she makes her Cannes debut with “Low Expectations”.
