War is declared between Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard. This year, the parents of Marcel and Louise will face each other at the 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. While the 47-year-old actress will present Mona Achache’s latest film, Little Girl Bluein a special session, his companion, meanwhile, will also be on the red carpet for Acid by Just Philippot. In this feature film, the actor, director, screenwriter and producer slips into the skin of Michal, a divorced father ready to do anything to try to escape a climatic catastrophe. A film including the one that recently came under heavy criticism for Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom is particularly proud.
