Cannes: Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra & other Bollywood divas who slayed on the red carpet in the past

<p>Timothee Chalamet as a love-sick cannibal, Harry Styles in his first leading role, Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe -- a new generation of stars steps into the spotlight when the Venice Film Festival kicks off Wednesday.</p>

<p>Ninety years since its first edition, the world's longest-running film event also boasts a raft of award-winning directors in its line-up this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Perhaps the most anticipated premiere will be for Monroe biopic 'Blonde', a dark retelling of the icon's tragic life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Its Australian director Andrew Dominik has, with typical modesty, declared it "a masterpiece" and it threatens to propel Armas from rising star to fully fledged A-lister.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the army of Chalamet fans are ravenous for 'Bones and All', reuniting him with 'Call Me By Your Name" director Luca Guadagnino for what is billed as a "cannibal romance".&nbsp;</p>

Making a gorgeous appearance on the last day of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone made heads turn as she signed off from the prestigious film festival.

Making a gorgeous appearance on the last day of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone made heads turn as she signed off from the prestigious film festival. Channelling her inner desi Indian girl, the diva opted for a stunning off-white saree by Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla. Her statement pearl-studded blouse took the look a couple of notches higher. With a trail and dramatic pleated ruffles, her 6 yards of elegance perfectly accentuated her curves and helped the 36-year-old make a major fashion statement. Padukone finished her stint at the French film festival as a Cannes jury member in utmost style. For the closing ceremony, the star donned an ethereal Indian look and got applauds from fashion critics and aficionados. To accessorise her ruffled off-white saree, the actress wore an equally stunning pearl necklace and round stud earrings. For her makeup, she opted for kohl-rimmed eyes and contoured cheeks. For her hairdo, she opted a sleek bun. Dropping a series of images of her final look from the French Riviera on Instagram, the actress added a white heart emoji in the caption. In no time, the photos went viral on social media and several paparazzi snaps from the event also surfaced online.

<p>Indigenous Canadian filmmaker Kelvin Redvers was denied entry to the red carpet at the 75th Cannes Film Festival because he was wearing traditional moccasins, he told Canadian media on Saturday.</p>

<p>The director is a member of the Dene Indigenous community and grew up in the Northwest Territories of Canada.&nbsp; "I grew up around my culture on the land and moccasins are a big deal," he told CBC.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I understand that there are certain rules about dress code on the red carpet so I thought if I wore a tuxedo, a bow tie, and a piece that showed I was Indigenous, it would be accepted."</p>

<p>Redvers added that moccasins "are very much considered traditional and formal clothing" among many cultures in Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The director had travelled to France with a delegation of Indigenous filmmakers and was invited to the premiere of "Les Amandiers" by French-Italian actor Valeria Bruni Tedeschi on May 22.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Festival security officials, however, barred him from the red carpet, Redvers told several major Canadian media outlets. He was only allowed to return once he had changed his shoes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's kind of hard to process things like that. I was almost, and even now when I think about it, (it) kind of gets me a little upset. I was disappointed. I was angry," he explained upon his return to Vancouver, British Columbia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The brown moccasins had been made by Redvers' sister, and he said he was "excited" to wear them at a significant moment in his life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Every time I wear them, it's (the) best feeling, to be connected to family and Dene roots," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The South Korean cinema industry added to a global winning streak on Saturday by scooping two key prizes at the Cannes Film Festival for a pair of beloved veterans.</p>

<p>Star film-maker Park Chan-wook clinched the best director award for his erotic crime movie 'Decision To Leave'&nbsp;while Song Kang-ho, best known for his role in the Oscar-winning 'Parasite', picked up the best actor gong for 'Broker'.</p>

<p>The Cannes spotlight also fell on Lee Jung-jae, the superstar actor in Netflix's 'Squid Game', whose debut as a director, 'Hunt', screened out of competition.</p>

<p>Park's Cannes entry came nearly two decades after his 'Oldboy' which won the festival's second-highest prize in 2004.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That mind-bending shocker helped catapult South Korean cinema onto the global stage -- years before 'Parasite', which won the 2019 Palme d'Or and best picture at the 2020 Academy Awards.</p>

<p>Park, 58, told the Cannes audience he was bullish about the future of movie-going.</p>

<p>"With the pandemic, borders were closed. We were very afraid of each other&nbsp;and theatres were empty. But little by little, audiences will rediscover cinema," Park said. &nbsp;</p>

<p>'Decision to Leave'&nbsp;features Chinese star Tang Wei and Korean actor Park Hae-il and tells the story of a detective who, investigating a man's fatal fall from a mountain, comes under the spell of the victim's wife, whom he suspects of having caused her husband's death.</p>

<p>- 'Not a romantic' -</p>

<p>The detective story, which drew comparisons with the far more sexually explicit thriller 'Basic Instinct', increasingly meshes with the mutual attraction engulfing the main characters.</p>

<p>"I'm not a romantic, but I'm very interested in the expression of emotions," Park told AFP when the film premiered at the festival.</p>

<p>The film's mesmerising soundtrack includes the Adagietto in Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony, immortalised in the 1971 movie 'Death in Venice'&nbsp;by Luchino Visconti.</p>

<p>Park said the film drew inspiration from the methodical police work contained in the Swedish "Martin Beck" police procedural books. "That's what I wanted to represent in a movie," he said.</p>

<p>'Decision To Leave' was warmly received by Cannes audiences. The BBC called it a "cracking romantic thriller" and Britain's Screen magazine said it was a "deeply satisfying" tale.</p>

<p>- 'Bittersweet and complex' -</p>

<p>Song, 55, won acting honours for his role in 'Broker' about a woman dropping off an unwanted child in a "baby box" for adoption.</p>

<p>He plays a kind-hearted middleman trying to sell the infant to a loving family in the Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's first Korean-language feature.</p>

<p>Kore-eda won the Palme d'Or in 2018 for his touching family tale 'Shoplifters'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I am very happy for my whole family," Song said as he accepted the trophy at the gala ceremony on the French Riviera.</p>

<p>He said that the language and cultural barrier posed no problems on set.</p>

<p>"Kore-eda is very familiar with Korean culture so there weren't any differences when it came to getting along," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Japanese cinema is very familiar to Koreans. Personally speaking, I've seen almost all the films made by Kore-eda. There's lots of fans that love the aesthetics, which are typically Japanese."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Something of a national treasure, Song has starred in several of the divided country's greatest movies.</p>

<p>Song has made four films with 'Parasite'&nbsp;director Bong Joon-ho including the 2006 monster flick 'The Host' and Bong's first English-language film 'Snowpiercer', both of which were box office and critical smashes.</p>

<p>Starting his career on stage, Song made his first film appearance in 1996 in the now-acclaimed director Hong Sang-soo's debut movie, 'The Day a Pig Fell into a Well'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since then, he has appeared in more than 30 films and worked with top South Korean filmmakers including Park Chan-wook, Kang Je-gyu and Lee Chang-dong.</p>

<p>British film magazine Screen called 'Broker'&nbsp;&nbsp;"a sensitive and compassionate look at the market for unwanted children", while US movie website IndieWire said it was a "bittersweet and complex family drama".</p>

Also Read: South Korea's Park Chan-wook wins best director award at Cannes "Kore-eda is very familiar with Korean culture so there weren't any differences when it came to getting along," he said. "Japanese cinema is very familiar to Koreans. Personally speaking, I've seen almost all the films made by Kore-eda. There's lots of fans that love the aesthetics, which are typically Japanese." Something of a national treasure, Song has starred in several of the divided country's greatest movies. Song has made four films with 'Parasite' director Bong Joon-ho including the 2006 monster flick 'The Host' and Bong's first English-language film 'Snowpiercer', both of which were box office and critical smashes. Starting his career on stage, Song made his first film appearance in 1996 in the now-acclaimed director Hong Sang-soo's debut movie, 'The Day a Pig Fell into a Well'. Since then, he has appeared in more than 30 films and worked with top South Korean filmmakers including Park Chan-wook, Kang Je-gyu and Lee Chang-dong. British film magazine Screen called 'Broker' "a sensitive and compassionate look at the market for unwanted children", while US movie website IndieWire said it was a "bittersweet and complex family drama".

Pakistani trans film 'Joyland' makes history at Cannes Film Festival

<p>Iranian Zar Amir Ebrahimi, who lives in exile following a smear campaign about her love life, wept with joy as she won the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ebrahimi, 41, won for 'Holy Spider', in which she plays a journalist trying to solve the serial murders of prostitutes in the holy city of Mashhad.</p>

<p>"I have come a long way to be on this stage tonight. It was not an easy story," she told the audience at the awards ceremony.</p>

<p>She said she had been "saved by cinema".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was humiliation but there was cinema, it was solitude but there was cinema, it was darkness but there was cinema. Now I'm standing in front of you on a night of joy."</p>

<p>'Holy Spider', directed by Danish-Iranian Ali Abbasi, is inspired by the true story of a working-class man who killed prostitutes in the early 2000s and became known as the "Spider Killer".</p>

<p>Abbasi was denied permission to film in Iran and it was ultimately shot in Jordan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This film is about women, it's about their bodies, it's a movie full of faces, hair, hands, feet, breasts, sex -- everything that is impossible to show in Iran," Ebrahimi said.</p>

<p>Abbasi insisted the film should not be seen as controversial.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Everything shown here is part of people's everyday life. There is enough evidence that people in Iran have sex, too. There's ample evidence of prostitution in every city of Iran," he told reporters. &nbsp;</p>

Cannes 2022: Exiled Iranian Zar Amir Ebrahimi wins best actress for 'Holy Spider'

<p>South Korean star filmmaker Park Chan-wook on Saturday won the Cannes Film Festival's best director award for his erotic crime movie "Decision To Leave".</p>

<p>Starring Chinese star Tang Wei and Korean actor Park Hae-il, 'Decision To Leave'&nbsp;tells the story of a detective who, investigating a man's fatal fall from a mountain, comes under the spell of the victim's wife, whom he suspects of having caused her husband's death.</p>

<p>The detective story increasingly meshes with the mutual attraction engulfing the main characters, and the resulting erotic tension that is heightened by the constant proximity of death.</p>

<p>"I'm not a romantic, but I'm very interested in the expression of emotions," said Park in an interview with AFP when the film premiered at the festival.'</p>

<p>'Decision To Leave'&nbsp;was warmly received by Cannes audiences. The BBC called it a "cracking romantic thriller" and Screen said that "even without the extreme shock tactics of some of his earlier work, Park can craft a deeply satisfying and potentially commercial thriller".</p>

<p>The film's mesmerising soundtrack includes the Adagietto in Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony, immortalised in the 1971 movie "Death In Venice" by Luchino Visconti.</p>

<p>"I tried to find other classical pieces that could work, but this piece by Mahler was just ideal," Park, 58, said. "And I thought, is there a law that says only Visconti gets to use this piece? No there isn't, so I went ahead."</p>

<p>Park's Cannes entry comes nearly two decades after his "Oldboy" that won the festival's second-highest prize in 2004 and helped catapult South Korean cinema onto the global stage -- years before "Parasite", which won the 2019 Palme d'Or and best film at the 2020 Oscars.</p>

<p>Park said the film drew inspiration from the methodical police work contained in the Swedish "Martin Beck" crime thriller books. "That's what I wanted to represent in a movie," he said.</p>

Cannes 2022: French film 'The Worst Ones' wins top in ‘Certain Regard’ section

Cannes 2022: All the best looks from the film festival, from Anne Hathaway to Julia Roberts

<p>This year, we witnessed a slew of protests at the Cannes Film Festival. On Wednesday, before the screening of their film 'Butterly Vision,' Ukrainian director Maksym Nakonechni along with the whole crew of his movie gave a reminder about the crisis Ukraine is going through after the Russian invasion.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
In front of the Salle Debussy, which is the second-largest theatre in Cannes, the silent protest was held at the stairs of the theatre where the whole team of the movie including director Maksym, producers Darya Bassel and Yelizaveta Smit, lead actress Rita Burkovska with the other members.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Protesting against the genocide, they showed up the banner, reading, ''Russians kill Ukrainians. Do you find it offensive or disturbing to talk about this genocide?''<br />
<br />
The protestors also covered their face with a translucent sheet reading ''sensitive content'' with the same eye logo we see on social media platforms when content is disturbing.</p>

<p>As per Variety, ''the protestors were demonstrating against what they see as a dangerous form of censorship by social media platforms, which, in their opinion, are hiding the uncomfortable and disturbing reality of the war.''</p>

<p>The movie is about a female Ukrainian soldier Lilia, who returns home to her family after spending months in prison. The movie's official synopsis reads via Variety, “The trauma of captivity continues to torment her and surface in dreamlike ways. Something growing deep within Lilia will not allow her to forget, yet she refuses to identify as a victim and will fight to liberate herself.”</p>

<p>This protest comes a few days after a group of woman protestors used the event to raise awareness against male violence. A group of women wearing black clothes walked the red carpet with a white banner featuring the victims of domestic violence in France. The protestors were also holding smoke grenades.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Last week, an unidentified woman protested against the sexual violence in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. It happened during the premiere of George Miller's 'Three Thousand Years of Longing'.</p>

The protestors also covered their face with a translucent sheet reading ''sensitive content'' with the same eye logo we see on social media platforms when content is disturbing. As per Variety, ''the protestors were demonstrating against what they see as a dangerous form of censorship by social media platforms, which, in their opinion, are hiding the uncomfortable and disturbing reality of the war.'' The movie is about a female Ukrainian soldier Lilia, who returns home to her family after spending months in prison. The movie's official synopsis reads via Variety, “The trauma of captivity continues to torment her and surface in dreamlike ways. Something growing deep within Lilia will not allow her to forget, yet she refuses to identify as a victim and will fight to liberate herself.” This protest comes a few days after a group of woman protestors used the event to raise awareness against male violence. A group of women wearing black clothes walked the red carpet with a white banner featuring the victims of domestic violence in France. The protestors were also holding smoke grenades. Last week, an unidentified woman protested against the sexual violence in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. It happened during the premiere of George Miller's 'Three Thousand Years of Longing'.

<p>The debut screening of Pakistan's first entry to the Cannes Film Festival felt like "a dream has come true", one of its stars Sarwat Gilani said after the film - which seeks to break gender stereotypes in her country - received a prolonged standing ovation.<br />
<br />
"It felt like the hard work that people do, the struggles that we face as artists in Pakistan, they`ve all come to be worth it," Gilani told Reuters on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Gilani, a film and TV star best known for her latest series "Churails", plays Nucchi in "Joyland", which competes in the "Un Certain Regard" section, a competition focused on more art-house films that runs parallel to the main "Palme d`Or" prize.<br />
<br />
Nucchi belongs to a household that has long hoped for the birth of a son to continue the family line, with the consecutive birth of her three daughters not enough to please her conservative father-in-law.<br />
<br />
And her brother-in-law Haider secretly falls in love with a transgender woman Biba, who fights for her right to work as a performer.<br />
<br />
"Joyland" also explores the frustration of women seeking to pursue a profession, when Haider`s wife Mumtaz falls into a depression for being forced to stay at home and do household chores and stop working as a make-up artist.<br />
"It`s not just about a love story anymore. It`s about real-time issues, real life issues that we all go through," Gilani said. "Having a woman, a trans, represent that sector of the society, I think it`s a really good step in the direction where we can say we can write progressive stories."<br />
<br />
Gilani said she hoped Pakistani movie-goers and critics would give "Joyland" as warm a reception as it received in Cannes.<br />
<br />
"I`m very positive that at least our people will understand that this is also a kind of cinema that can be successful. If worldwide, then why not locally, nationally," she said.<br />
<br />
The Cannes Film Festival runs from May 17 to 28, with the prizes awarded on the last day.<br />

<p>One of Eastern Europe's most acclaimed filmmakers, Romania's Cristian Mungiu, is back at the Cannes Film Festival with a dark tale about how little it takes for people to turn on their neighbours.</p>

<p>His wrenching Ceausescu-era drama about illegal abortion "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" clinched the top prize at the world's top cinema showcase in 2007.</p>

<p>Mungiu also won best screenplay for 2012's "Beyond the Hills" and best director for "Graduation" in 2016.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His new film, "RMN", again sees him in the race for the Palme d'Or, and the 54-year-old told AFP &nbsp;it explores the collapse of hopes for a new era of peace following the end of the Cold War.</p>

<p>"I try to speak about human nature and about the state of the world today and about this feeling that we have today that things are not going in the right direction," he said.</p>

<p>"Things are coming to some sort of an end and everybody feels this anxiety," not least over the war raging in Ukraine, he said.</p>

<p>- 'Capable of anything' -</p>

<p>RMN is the Romanian abbreviation for an MRI which Mungiu said when scanning the brain can reveal fascinating secrets of how human beings are wired.</p>

<p>The film explores the anxieties of a multi-ethnic community in Transylvania, a historical crossroads of migration and competing empires which has left Romanian, Hungarian and German speakers living side-by-side to this day.</p>

<p>It is inspired by a story widely covered by Romanian media in 2020, when a village in Transylvania rose up against the local bakery for hiring two Sri Lankans.</p>

<p>In the film the foreign men are recruited to a bread factory reliant on EU grants and offering minimum-wage jobs that long went unfilled because the salary was too low for locals.</p>

<p>A manager tries to look after the dislocated Sri Lankans, who don't speak any of the local languages and are struggling to integrate.</p>

<p>A violent attack leads to confrontations with the police, the village priest and finally a town meeting in which hysterical fears about the outsiders are aired.</p>

<p>Mungiu said he aimed to hold up a mirror to the "instincts and cruelty which is deep inside us as human animals and to see that people who are neighbours today are capable of anything tomorrow -- raping, killing and torturing somebody else simply because somebody told me this is the enemy".</p>

<p>&nbsp;'A movement' -</p>

<p>The film won warm reviews, with The Guardian saying it was "seriously engaged with the dysfunction and unhappiness in&nbsp; Europe&nbsp;that goes unreported and unacknowledged".</p>

<p>US movie website IndieWire called it another "moral thriller"&nbsp;from Mungiu that pulls "harder and harder at the tension between complex socioeconomic forces and the simple human emotions they inspire".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mungiu is part of Romania's New Wave of film-makers tracking the realities of the post-communist transition who have scooped up prizes at international festivals for the past two decades.</p>

<p>He admitted at Cannes that those acclaimed movies have been far less popular at home.</p>

<p>"(Romanians) don't really like what we do -- they don't really understand why somebody likes it somewhere else," he said.</p>

<p>"But for us it's really important that we managed to create some sort of a movement which is now complex enough -- there are quite diverse film-makers expressing themselves.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"At some point I think it will be acknowledged as something good that we did also for the culture of Romania."</p>

<p>The Palme d'Or will be awarded on May 28.</p>
