From the show
Culture editor Eve Jackson brings us the latest from Day 4 of the Cannes Film Festival, where U2 frontman Bono is premiering Stories of Surrender. The documentary, directed by Andrew Dominik, is based on Bono's emotional one-man stage show – mixing his biggest hits with personal reflections on grief, fame, and activism. Speaking at Cannes, the rock legend warned that 'the world has never been closer to a world war' in his lifetime.
Also in the spotlight: Ari Aster's Eddington, a darkly comic western starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone. And we meet Aïssa Maïga and Laetitia Ky, stars of Promised the Sky, a powerful film about the lives of sub-Saharan migrants in Tunisia.
