The 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival 2022 continues to be in full swing. Since May 17 and until May 28, cinema has been in the spotlight and people every day at the rendezvous to make the Palais des Festivals and Congresses of Cannes shine even more. This Monday, May 23, it’s the cinematographic work Decision to leave (original title : Heojil Kyolshim) by Park Chan-wook who was in the spotlight. Unsurprisingly, director Park Chan-wook made the photographers’ flashes crackle with the two stars on display Park Hae-il and Tang Wei. But other personalities caused a sensation.
Amaury Leveaux made the trip to the Croisette to experience this exceptional moment. The former French swimmer specialist in sprint, freestyle and butterfly events bet on a black suit with a bow tie for the occasion. It is smiling that he took the pose and he was not alone. His wife Ksenia Tkachenko, which he presented on Instagram earlier this year, was by his side, sublime in a long burgundy dress. An undeniable bond.
The photographers also had the opportunity to immortalize Charlotte Le Bon. The former Canal + Weather Miss caused a sensation with a black leather top and a long burgundy skirt. On the hairstyle side, she opted for a high ponytail. A rare radiant apparition. Just like those of Elsa Zylberstein and Naomi Campbell who did not go unnoticed with their low-cut dresses. Many other personalities like Samuel Le Bihan, Raphaël Personnaz, Aïssa Maiga, Brigitte Paquette or even Reda Kateb were there.
A director who knows the Cannes Film Festival well
Park Chan-wook knows the Cannes Film Festival well since he won the Grand Prix in 2004 for old boy and the Jury Prize in 2009 for Thirst, This is my blood. This year, the 58-year-old South Korean director and screenwriter will try to win the Palme d’Or with Decision to leave, which is scheduled for release on June 29. The pitch? Detective Hae-joon (played by Park Hae-il) is in charge of an investigation involving the fatal fall of a man in the mountains. He comes to question the latter’s wife, Seo-rae (played by Tang Wei) who does not seem saddened by the situation and who therefore positions herself as suspect number 1. But very quickly, the detective will develop feelings for the young woman, enough to destabilize him.
This year, the president of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival 2022 is the French actor Vincent Lindon, who has just formalized his love story. And it is the beautiful Virginie Efira who takes on the role of mistress of ceremonies.
