STORYLINE:
"The Apprentice," Ali Abbasi's portrait of 1980s Donald Trump, arrived at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, Monday.

Director Abbasi was joined by actors Sebastian Stan, Maria Bakalova and Martin Donovan on the Palais carpet, as the drama screened in competition for the Palme d'Or.

Described as a dive into the underbelly of the American empire, the film follows Stan as a young Trump, who rises to power through a Faustian deal with right-wing lawyer Roy Cohn, played by Jeremy Strong.

Bakalova plays Ivana Trump, with Donovan as Fred Trump.

Iranian filmmaker Abbasi was previously in competition at Cannes with 2022's “Holy Spider.”

"The Apprentice" is one of 22 films competition for this year's Palme d'Or. The winner will be decided by a jury presided over by Greta Gerwig.
