VTV.vn - Café Society - movie directed by famous Woody Allen, starring the 'Twilight' superstar Kristen Stewart - will open the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

This will be the third movie directed by Woody Allen that is selected to open the Cannes Film Festival after Hollywood Ending (2002) and Midnight in Paris (2011), which earns him to be the director with most opening movies at Cannes Film Festival.
