Filmmaker brothers Joel and Ethan Coen said on Wednesday it would be a new experience for them to be watching movies rather than having a film in competition as the first co-presidents of the main Cannes International Film Festival jury.
The Coens, responsible for “Fargo”, “No Country for Old Men” and 1991 Cannes top-prize winner “Barton Fink”, head up a jury comprising directors Guillermo del Toro and Xavier Dolan, actors Rossy de Palma, Sophie Marceau, Sienna Miller and Jake Gyllenhaal, and singer-songwriter Rokia Traore.
