It’s time to take stock at that time Cannes 2024. Now that the red carpet has been rolled away and all the protagonists have returned home, we can finally retrace the 12 glorious days of the event from which a great protagonist emerges: Demi Moore. Present, present many times between the red carpet and the AmFar Gala, the actress is definitely there resumed the scene and took advantage of the presentation of his film to impose himself on the varied audience that animated the event Montée des marches and in which, unfortunately, cinema has remained on the margins.
The best of Cannes 2024, the unshakable Demi Moore
Time passes, we grow, we age, we change. Demi Moore knows this well, as in this particular period of her life she decided not to give up and continue along the path that has given her great satisfaction. The occasion is that of the presentation of the film The Substance which sees her return to the scene with an important and in some respects controversial role. A feminist horror in which the actress lends herself to a full nude which she faced with courage at the age of 61 but which exposed her again to the world and without filters: “It was an experience that it made me feel vulnerable. Luckily next to me was Margaret, a person who was a great partner with whom I felt very safe,” she explained.
Her massive presence at the event only highlighted her intention to quickly return to the limelight after a period of relative distance from the scene and closeness to her family, especially her ex-husband Bruce Willis suffering from aphasia and now almost incapacitated. to speak, and to his daughters, for whom he is a point of reference. Cannes 2024 proves that Demi Moore is there, still there, and she has received 10 minutes of applause: “It’s a film that mocks the male perspective of the ideal woman. But we are not against men: we are against assholes”, she highlighted in the press conference.
The timeless beauty of Catherine Deneuve
A little Italian and a lot French. Catherine Deneuve is also a little bit ours, above all due to her connection with Marcello Mastroianni with whom he had his daughter Chiara, but Cannes is his home. The presence in the competition of Marcello Mioa precise portrait of the famous actor who would have turned 100 this year, is perhaps unusual but it could not have been otherwise.
The Festival has thus paid homage, or returns the favor, to Chiara Mastroianni who was appreciated as godmother of the event a year ago. She gave her all, she got excited and brought to the stage her relationship with her mother which often remained on the margins in favor of both of their careers.
An icon in the room
An event focused on cinema could not ignore the presence of Faye Dunaway, 83 years old splendidly and a love that binds her closely to Italy. Her heart has been Marcello Mastroianni’s for a very long time and it is this (and much more) that is talked about in documentary which Laurent Bouzereau dedicated to her, Faye.
At the center of the story are alcoholism, eating disorders and those linked to bipolarism, adoption and the difficulties in having children. The inevitable abandonment of his great love, the one he felt for Marcello Mastroianni, whom he met on the set of Lovers Of Vittorio De Sica. Just this year, it was in the competition Marcello Miothe dedication by Christophe Honorè starring Chiara Mastroianni who takes on the role of her father.
The flops of Cannes 2024, Elodie dares too much
Few Italians on the red carpet and almost all went unnoticed. If it weren’t for the nude look shown off during the final evening, we wouldn’t even have noticed Elodie’s presence. Her fishnet dress, which leaves much of her figure exposed, doesn’t do her justice and is perhaps too daring for this occasion. She is splendid and it is even superfluous to have to reiterate it, but she could have done much better on the red carpet.
The appeals on the red carpet
Dutiful, in some cases, but really not very incisive. The Cannes Film Festival is increasingly a cultural phenomenon, where the spotlight is all on the looks of the red carpet. The one for the hostages of Israel went practically unnoticed and so did many other messages launched outside the screening rooms.
