Rain of celebrities on the red carpet on the 8th day of festival in Cannes
Prior to Jodie Foster, on Tuesday, May 20, in Cannes, they paraded, in front of fans and photographers, Adrien Brody with partner Georgina Chapman and Scarlett Johansson.
Discovered since adolescence, Scarlett Johansson has consolidated over the years the status of emblematic figure of international cinema and one of the best paid actresses. This year, the American star shines again on the cruise, being present in Cannes in a double hypostasis-both as an actress and as a director.
Johansson plays in The Phenician Schemethe latest film signed by Wes Anderson, presented on Sunday in the official competition. The film, in the unmistakable style of the American filmmaker, brings a stellar distribution and an enigmatic story, in which the actress plays a central, full of subtlety and irony.
Tuesday, Scarlett returns to the festival scene in the position of directors, presenting Eleanor The Great in the section A Certain regard. It is his first feature film in this capacity – a personal project, with intimistic accents, which marks a new stage in her artistic career. The film explores the fragility and courage of a woman at a crossroads, and Johansson said it is « a story she has been wearing for years. »
With this double appearance, Scarlett Johansson confirms not only his versatility, but also the desire to expand their creative contribution beyond acting, at a time when many of Hollywood stars claim a place behind the room.
Adrien Brody, a laureate of the Oscar for the best actor due to his impressive role in The Brutalist, has been among the most acclaimed presence on the red carpet in Cannes. The American actor was welcomed with applause and enthusiasm, in a moment of international recognition of a career marked by brave artistic elections. Under the direction of Brady Corbet, Brody delivers one of the most powerful interpretations in recent years – an intense, internalized role, which has captured the attention of the Academy and has strengthened the film’s prestige in the circuit of the big festivals. His elegant appearance on the cruise was a reconfirmation of his status as a star, but also of a deep actor dedicated to the author’s cinema.
