Even though Quentin Tarantino’s last movie isn’t ready to be shown yet, he will still be one of the stars of the Cannes Film Festival in 2023.

The Directors’ Fortnight sidebar competition announced that Tarantino will be the festival’s guest of honor in 2023. He will show a “secret screening” on May 25 and talk about his “counter-history of cinema,” which is a set of ideas about 1970s Hollywood. The stories are in his new book, Cinema Speculation, which is part biography and part theory about movies.

The competition, which called itself a “counter-programming of free-spirited films from all over the world,” started in Cannes in 1969, while “a new generation of filmmakers rose up against old Hollywood” in Tarantino’s book.

Tarantino is very familiar with the Croisette. He goes back to Cannes every four years, where he first showed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and won the Palme d’Or for Pulp Fiction 29 years ago.

Earlier, Quentin Tarantino said that his next and last movie will be called The Movie Critic and will be set in Los Angeles in the late 1970s. He had said in the past that he would stop making movies after making ten.

Even though the Directors’ Fortnight didn’t say which movie Tarantino will show, it did hint that there would be “a rockabilly vibe on closing day.”
