We look ahead to some of the French films making a splash on the Riviera at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, as Manon Kerjean takes us through some of the home-grown talent gracing the red carpet this year. She tells us why opening feature "The Electric Kiss" strikes the right tone with its bittersweet, supernatural elements and how Arthur Harari's "The Unknown" has revisited the body-swap genre with panache.

France is reopening a probe into the alleged role Rwanda’s former first lady, 83-year-old Agathe Habyarimana, played in the 1994 genocide in which around 800,000 people, mainly ethnic Tutsis, were killed. Last year, the case against the late ex-president’s wife was dismissed due to "insufficient evidence", but on Wednesday a French appeals court overturned the ruling.

An Israeli court on Wednesday rejected an appeal by two foreign nationals, one Spanish and one Brazilian, challenging their detention in Israel.
