The Cannes Film Festival 2024 has kicked off, and we will remember (at least) a couple of things about the first red carpet and the opening ceremony. The first, divine, Meryl Streep. The actress, 75 years old in June, was her guest of honor and after a very long round of applause she received the Palme d'Or for her lifetime achievement. She was the one to reward her, very excited, she was Juliette Binochewho at a certain point couldn't hold back her tears: «We love you, you are an international treasure, you changed the way we talk about women”, he told her. And she, master of irony, replied: «Thanks to the public who haven't gotten tired of me yet”. Have we already said divine?
On the red carpet of the opening film – Le Deuxième Acte by Quentin Dupieux – a “couple” did not go unnoticed at all: the protagonists Léa Seydoux and Louis Garrell. Beautiful and magnetic. Together with them we saw their godmother, the French actress, parade Camille Cottinand a timeless (and leopard-print) Jane Fonda.
In this first red carpet, Italy was entirely in the hands of Pierfrancesco Favinoon the jury with the Turkish photographer Ebru Ceylan, the American actress Lily Gladstone, the French actress Eva Green, the Lebanese director and screenwriter Nadine Labaki, the Spanish director and producer Juan Antonio Bayona, the Japanese director Kore-Eda Hirokazu and the French actor and producer Omar Sy. President – for the first time female – Greta Gerwig, definitely excited on the red carpet. «I approach the jury's experience with the idea of seek beauty and humanity», the Italian actor had said a few hours earlier.
But he was the first to make the Montée de Marche the dog Messi, protagonist of last year's Palme d'Or film, Anatomy of a fall by French director Justine Triet.
