Canceled last year for the first time since World War II, the Cannes Film Festival is underway once more. Staged in the French Riviera’s most beguiling resort town, the annual festival is an unmissable date on the film industry calendar, premiering movies that have gone on to enjoy stratospheric success, from “Pulp Fiction” to “Taxi Driver.”
