Two productions by Netflix have caused a stir at the Cannes Film Festival, as movie purists complain about them not being shown being at cinemas.

The online television and movie maker has refused to release two of its films, which are in the running for the Palme d'Or, to French theatres.

It has sparked a row on the French Riviera, as the world's leading film festival celebrates its 70th year.
