The 2023 Cannes Film Festival lineup was officially announced on April 13, but Monday the organization included the last of the entries for competition and non-competition categories, most notably with the addition of Robert Rodriguez’s “Hypnotic,” a science-fiction opus starring Ben Affleck and Alice Braga, in the Midnight section.
