*Only two American films in Competition, James Gray's and Ira Sachs'. This is James Gray's sixth Cannes Competition film, more than any other American filmmaker. PAPER TIGER is a crime thriller starring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, and Miles Teller that follows two brothers who in attempting to achieve the American Dream get enmeshed in a violent scheme with the Russian Mafia. Sachs' THE MAN I LOVE stars Rami Malek as a dying actor in late-1980s New York and is a "musical fantasia" in the world of AIDS.
