Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is back at the Cannes Film Festival with his film `Kennedy` and has once again registered a resounding response like all his earlier films such as `Raman Raghav 2.0`, `Ugly`, `Bombay Talkies` and the two-part gangster drama `Gangs of Wasseypur` that made it to the festival.

`Kennedy`, which is a police noir film, received a 7-minute standing ovation at The Grand Lumiere Theatre where it was screened under the midnight screening section at 12:15 a.m. on Thursday (France local time).
