#Ukrainian Model Sawa Pontyjska sues over #Cannes red carpet 'assault' by a security ‘steward’
“Sawa Pontyjska was one of several guests who were filmed being challenged by the same steward at the prestigious French event.
Singer Kelly Rowland also complained, while footage of the guard with South #Korean actress Yoona and #Dominican actress Massiel Taveras also went viral.”
US-Regisseur Sean Baker erhält Goldene Palme beim Cannes-Filmfestival
Eine Striptease-Tänzerin trifft auf einen russischen Oligarchensohn: Der Film von US-Filmemacher Sean Baker hat die Jury am meisten überzeugt. Und "Star Wars"-Erfinder George Lucas erhielt eine Ehrenpalme für sein Lebenswerk.
I have a running personal theory that no one really pays attention to the Cannes red carpet unless they’re on it. I know it’s all over TikTok and Insta but it rarely feels like a “moment” anymore. It’s been overtaken by the Met Gala.
"It's not like we didn't know about the real estate mogul/Reality TV president's horrible early years with Roy Cohn — but this Cannes Film Festival entry doesn't pull punches"
#Palestine
La force du #deni en France va très très loin.
L'actrice Cate Blanchett, qui a dès novembre appelé à un cessez le feu à #gaza , porte littéralement un drapeau palestinien sur elle, jouant du tapis rouge de #cannes.
Mais les journalistes du reportage ne "voient" rien. Dans d'autres articles, on s'extasie sur son collier de luxe, ailleurs on souligne le "trio de couleurs" de sa robe ou son engagement pour...la cause féministe.
Mais rien de rien sur l'éléphant au milieu de la pièce...
Controversial #Trump movie ‘The Apprentice’ depicts him as #rapist
[probably because he is one]
A movie called “The Apprentice” about a young Donald Trump’s rise to power premiered Mon evening at the #Cannes Film Festival, the #film stars Sebastian Stan as Trump & Jeremy Strong, who plays the ruthless lawyer & political fixer Roy Cohn.
“By & large, it is a very dark & chilling origin story.”
Ah it's Cannes season, where Variety tracks the lengths of each standing ovation, because that's a barometer of...something I guess.
Will the 11 minute ovation for feminist body horror movie "The Substance" be beat? Who knows? Who cares?
What poor reporters have to actually time the ovations and report back? is it the one filing the story? An intern? Who decided that was worthy of the story? That's what I want to know.
Filmfestival in Cannes eröffnet: Ehrenpalme für Meryl Streep
Die US-Schauspielerin Meryl Streep ist zum Auftakt der Filmfestspiele von Cannes mit einer Ehrenpalme für ihr Lebenswerk geehrt worden. Überschattet wird das Festival von einer neu entfachten Debatte um sexuelle Übergriffe in der Filmbranche.
Depuis plusieurs jours, certains médias, y compris sérieux, évoquent l’existence d’une supposée «liste» d’auteurs présumés de violences sexuelles, que Mediapart s’apprêterait à publier. C’est faux, évidemment. À la veille de l’ouverture du Festival de #Cannes, le spectacle médiatique est pathétique.
An Iranian court has sentenced prominent filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof to jail time for "collusion against national security", his lawyer Babak Paknia said Wednesday.
Paknia said in a post on X that Rasoulof, whose film is due to be shown at the main competition at #Cannes Film Festival this month, will serve five years in prison according to the verdict which also included "flogging, a fine, and confiscation of property."
