The stars were out in force for Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, which made a dazzling debut at the Cannes Film Festival.

Delayed by the pandemic, the long-awaited comedy-drama is an ode to journalism and tells the story of a foreign outpost of a fictional American newspaper.

Its stars – including Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Timothee Chalamet, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson – joined director Anderson at the film’s premiere in the south of France.

French actress Lea Seydoux, however, could not join her castmates on the carpet after testing positive for Covid-19.

US actor Chalamet plays a student revolutionary in The French Dispatch and cut his usual dashing figure at the premiere.

The 25-year-old Hollywood star wore a shimmering silver suit for the occasion and was spotted taking selfies with fans.
