Cannes 2023: Celebrating women, from Jennifer Lawrence to Indian actress Shruti Haasan

We then meet Australian actress and "Alice in Wonderland" star Mia Wasikowska, who stars in Jessica Hausner's dystopian drama "Club Zero" as a cult-like teacher who instructs her students that eating less is healthier for the environment. She talks to us about how the idealism of youth can be challenged and exploited.

We also meet Indian actress and musician Shruti Haasan, who is in Cannes to promote "The Eye", a psychological thriller directed by Daphne Schmon. She talks to us about female empowerment and India's "misunderstood" cinema.
