Olivier Dahan’s “Grace of Monaco”, starring Nicole Kidman as Hollywood star-turned-princess Grace Kelly, will open the Cannes Film Festival on May 14, organisers announced Friday.
The film has been mired in controversy for months, drawing claims of historical inaccuracy from Kelly’s children, Prince Albert and Princesses Caroline and Stephanie, and pitting the director against US producer Harvey Weinstein, whom he accuses of altering the film without permission.
“Grace of Monaco”, which also features British actor Tim Roth as Kelly’s husband, Prince Rainer, will be screened out of competition, and will be released the same day in France and several cities around the world.
