The likes of Robert De Niro, Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson will be descending on the south of France for the glitziest date on the movie calendar, the Cannes Film Festival. In our Cannes Chronicle, our culture editor Eve Jackson tells about the most anticipated films and names expected on the red carpet, including a gay romance with Paul Mescal, a documentary about U2's Bono and the new and last instalment of "Mission: Impossible".
