Other contenders for the Palme d’Or this year include Croisette favourites Wim Wenders, 77, Nanni Moretti, 69, Aki Kaurismäki, 66, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 64, and Hirokazu Kore-eda, 60. Scorsese, 80, will face off against Ken Loach, 86, whose latest film, The Old Oak, unfolds in a former mining town in north-east England, where the landlord of the last remaining pub strikes up a friendship with some of the Syrian refugees recently homed in the area. The most eagerly anticipated premiere is Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese’s true crime drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone, about a series of murders of Native Americans in the 1920s. The competition lineup is dominated by a similar demographic – though they tend to be behind the camera. The trailer shows Ford, now 80, outpacing a subway train on a horse, driving a tuk-tuk off a cliff, leaping from planes and hanging off cliffs – sometimes with wrinkles digitally smoothed to restore him to his 30-year-old self.
