Boots Riley, known for his unique filmmaking style, has voiced his frustration regarding the Cannes Film Festival's repeated rejection of his projects. Despite the success of his latest film, 'I Love Boosters,' which premiered on May 22, 2023, Riley noted that Cannes opted to showcase other films instead, including 'The Idol,' which he believes overshadowed his work. He pointed out that his previous film, 'Sorry to Bother You,' was also snubbed by the festival, which has a history of favoring certain types of films over others. Riley humorously remarked on social media that the festival simply does not appreciate his style, stating, 'They just don’t like my stuff. All good.' 'I Love Boosters' is a satirical take on consumerism, featuring a cast that includes Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield, and has been described by Variety as a provocative and playful film that challenges societal norms.
