Another week of competition on the Croisette, at the Palais des Festivals and Congresses in Cannes, while the day before was marked by a dress accident. When climbing the steps of the film The Almond Trees by Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi on Sunday May 22, Lady Victoria Hervey, ex-girlfriend of Prince Andrew, accidentally revealed a breast. Let’s hope for the other people present to celebrate this 75th edition that such an incident will not happen again. The climb of the steps of the film Decision to leave (original title : Heojil Kyolshim) by Park Chan-wook this Monday, May 23, 2022 was in any case calmer, but no less exciting. In parallel were present the stars of the cinematographic work Our Brothers by Rachid Bouchareb, presented in the Cannes Première section. She evokes the Malik Oussekine case, who died following a muscular police intervention on the night of December 5 to 6, 1986.
Unsurprisingly, director Park Chan-wook made the trip to the red carpet to defend his cinematographic work. Classy in a black suit, he posed with film stars Park Hae-il and Tang Wei. All three made the photographers’ flashes crackle before having a nice ovation when they arrived in the Grand Théâtre Lumière.
The photographers also had the pleasure of immortalizing Naomi Campbell. The 52-year-old model didn’t simply stand out because she arrived late… Her black Valentino dress adorned with feathers also didn’t go unnoticed as it was so low-cut. At the top, only strips of fabric covered his chest. A glamorous and sexy latecomer in short.
Soon a new price for Park Chan-wook?
Remember that Park Chan-wook was awarded 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 returns to competition six years after Miss (2016), with Decision to Leave, which is scheduled for release on June 29. The film tells the story of detective Hae-joon (played by Park Hae-il) in charge of the investigation concerning the fatal fall of a man in the mountains. As part of the case, he comes to question the latter’s wife, Seo-rae (played by Tang Wei) who does not seem saddened by the situation. So that makes her the perfect culprit. But very quickly, the detective will be destabilized because he begins to harbor feelings for his suspect.
Decision to leave is in the running for the Palme d’Or. 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. With the other members, he has the heavy task of deciding between the films in competition. The mistress of ceremonies is the sublime Virginie Efira.
