Oscar-winning Cannes habitué Marion Cotillard returns to the festival with Guillaume Canet’s Karma and Bertrand Mandico ’s Roma Elastica . These titles bring her Official Selection tally to 16 films since 2011, eight of them in Competition, including Jacques Audiard’s Rust and Bone , Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne’s Two Days, One Night and Leos Carax’s Annette . Karma revolves around a woman with a troubled past whose new life is upended by a child’s disappearance, while Roma Elastica follows an actress caught up in a crazy film shoot in Rome in the 1980s. Cotillard says both roles appealed to a desire for challenges during a period of transition in her life.
