If there is one element that symbolizes the Cannes Film Festival more than anything, it is the climbing of the steps and its famous red carpet! You know the saying, what happens on the red carpet, stays on the red carpet… But for you we came out the best moments of the climb of the steps !
In 1963, Alfred Hitchcock presented his film The birds at the festival. And for the time, he already knew how to make the buzz! The famous director arrived with cages full of birds, more than 400 pigeons which he released above the amazed photographers! Five years later, it is Brigitte Bardot who creates the crush on the Croisette. After And God created the woman by Roger Vadim, BB has become a true icon. It is therefore a tidal wave of photography that awaits her when she appears on the red carpet. An overexcited crowd that will give a hard time to the gendarmes who try to protect Bardot.
A legendary actress who does not support photographers, nor that one interferes in her private life, it is Isabelle Adjani. Annoyed, she spent the day of May 10, 1983 hiding and dodging the traditional photo call Cannes. A whim that the photographers did not appreciate, since when the actress goes up the stairs, by mutual agreement, they all put their cameras at their feet and turned their backs on the star!
On May 22, 2011, Ryan Gosling is at the Cannes Film Festival to present Drive. Nicolas Winding Refn’s film is in official competition against tree of life, polishes Where The Artist. Nicolas Winding Refn will receive the prize for best director that evening. A pride for Ryan Gosling who decided to celebrate by offering his friend a kiss on the mouth.
Because that’s also Cannes, joy and love!
