Juliette Binoche will lead the jury in Cannes

The French film star Juliette Binoche will be the one leading the jury in this year's edition of the film festival in Cannes, which takes place in May.

The 60-year-old veteran with films like "The English Patient" and Lasse Hallström-directed "Chocolat" on her CV takes over the baton after "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig, who acted as jury president last year.

"In 1985, I stepped up the stairs for the first time with the enthusiasm and uncertainty of a young actress," says Binoche in a statement, referring to her first experience from the classic festival, and continues:

"I could never have dreamed that I would return 40 years later in the honorable role as president of the jury."

The festival takes place on May 13-24.
