The Cannes Film Festival returns next month with what industry insiders are calling the most anticipated lineup in years, headlined by Steven Spielberg's long-awaited wartime drama 'The Meridian Line,' Martin Scorsese's feature-length documentary on Miles Davis, and the buzzed-about debut feature 'Nairobi Days' from 26-year-old Wanjiku Mwangi. The festival, which runs May 13–24, will open with a restored print of Orson Welles's 'The Magnificent Ambersons,' newly completed using materials discovered in an Italian archive. 'The breadth and ambition of this year's selection is extraordinary,' said Festival Director Thierry Frémaux at the lineup announcement in Paris.
