Hollywood star power will vie with world cinema and a large crop of French films, including New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard's latest, for the top prize next month at the 67th Cannes film festival, the world's most important cinema showcase. Godard's "Adieu au Langage" will bring the accustomed Gallic flair to the swanky festival on the palm-lined French Riviera, whose top Palme d'Or prize can significantly boost a movie's revenue and awards potential.

The poster for the 67th Cannes Film Festival is an image of Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni, taken from Federico Fellini's 8\u00bd, which was presented in the festival's official selection in 1963. Designer Herve Chigioni said: \"The way he looks at us above his black glasses draws us right in to a promise of global cinematographic happiness, the happiness of experiencing the Festival de Cannes together.\"
