(France 2)
The 20 Hours returns to Friday May 24 at the Cannes Film Festival. On the program in particular, the meeting with the father of “Star Wars” George Lucas and the final stretch of the festival before the awards on Saturday May 25.
Last day of the Journal de Cannes, Friday May 24, the king of the blockbuster landed on the Croisette. George Lucas, father of Star Wars, will receive an honorary Palme d’Or on Saturday May 25. Aged 80, the director has a galaxy of successes behind him but above all he revolutionized cinema with his innovations.
Politics also made an appearance on the red carpet, where photos of Iranian actors were held up by director Mohammad Rasoulof. Pursued by the regime, he also fled Iran to escape prison. His presence at the Cannes Film Festival represents a symbol for freedom of expression. The artist Niki de Saint Phalle also featured in a biopic this Friday. Known for her sculptures of colorful and round women, she is played on screen by Charlotte Le Bon.
