Seen in particular in the films of Kelly Reichardt (Certain Women And First Cow), Lily Gladstone finds her first major role in Killers of the Flower Moon, fresco by Martin Scorsese evoking the drama experienced by the Osage Nation in the 1920s. During a press conference held on the sidelines of the screening of the film, selected out of competition, the actress, who lived her childhood in the reserve of Blackfeet, Montana, said Martin Scorsese, a world-renowned filmmaker, was in the best position to challenge people to supremacist ideas. “People listen to what he has to say. We need that kind of ally. »

Thierry Frémaux was involved in an incident with a police officer, but everything is now back to normal.
Images of an incident that took place on Saturday in front of the Carlton Hotel, reopened this year after a few years of renovation, have spread like wildfire on the social networks frequented by festival-goers. We see Thierry Frémaux, general delegate of the festival, arguing vigorously with a police officer who accused him of having cycled on the sidewalk and of having continued his race despite the order to stop which would have been given to him. Notorious sportsman and black belt in karate, the general delegate was also delighted on Monday, during his press conference, to be able to travel during the festival on an electric bike loaned by a famous German manufacturer, one of the main sponsors of the festival. The exchange was heated, but the newspapers report that the incident ended with a handshake between the two men. The festival can run its course.
