Top start of this 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival with the screening of “Cut!” by Michel Hazanavicius, a hilarious remake of a Japanese comedy.
The red carpet rolled out, the spotlights on, the stars once again challenged a wall of photographers. The world cinema festival can begin.
After the press conferences and the photocall of in the afternoon, Vincent Lindon, which will decide between the 21 films in competition for the Palme d’Or, climbed the steps surrounded by a joint jury. The French actor was, last year, on the poster of the bloody Titanium, winner of the Palme d’or 2021.
Other stars of the day: Michel Hazavanicus, surrounded by the cast of actors from his film Cut !, of his partner Bérénice Bejo, as well as his daughter Simone making his first appearance in the cinema. This zombie film parody – hilarious – opened the festival and the film marathon that will follow on Tuesday evening.
Succeeding Diane Kruger, Kristin Scott Thomas, Monica Bellucci, or even Doria tillierit’s the turn of Virginie Efira, radiant, to take on the role of mistress of the opening and closing ceremonies.
