CANNES, France—While much talk at Cannes this year has been about the unprecedented seven women directors in competition, an impressive cavalcade of aging maestros has charmed the French Riviera festival, with 86-year-old Ken Loach entering the race on Friday, May 26. Loach could pick up a record third Palme d'Or if he wins the festival's top prize on Saturday with 'The Old Oak' about a British pub struggling to survive and the tensions caused by the arrival of Syrian refugees. He is the oldest director of the 21 in competition at the film festival—but not by much.
