The Un Certain Regard line-up has added Zachary Wigon’s Victorian Psycho starring Maika Monroe, Thomasin McKenzie, and Jason Isaacs.

Also in UCR is A Girl’s Story, the debut feature from actress Judith Godreche, one of the most outspoken voices of the French # MeToo movement.

Among the additions to the Cannes Premiere strand is Christophe Honoré’s Orange-Flavoured Wedding, a 1970s-set family drama centred around the wedding of the youngest son starring Vincent Lacoste, Paul Kircher, Adele Exacharpoulos and Nadia Tereszkiewicz.
