At the closing ceremony at Cannes Film Festival, Asia Argento gave an impassioned speech reminding the audience that many sitting before her were complicit in the abuse of women at the hands of Harvey Weinstein and others.
Like many male auteurs, Gapar NoĂŠ sometimes appears to be contrarian for its own sake. Ditto for being at Cannes, where he premiered his latest film, The Climax, to appreciative, even fawning reception (it also won a fancy award). The IrrĂŠversible and Into the Void director, who is no stranger to angry critics, wasâŚ
On Wednesday, at the Cannes Film Festival, where John Travolta is promoting his new movie, Gotti, the actor did an interview in which he was asked, among other things, for his thoughts on the #MeToo movement and what he sees as its effect on Hollywood. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Travolta replied:
Perhaps you recall that women attendees of the Cannes Film Festival have been historically disallowed from wearing flat shoes on its oh-so-fancy red carpet, including a point in 2015 when women were turned away from a screening of Carol. Fuckinâ CAROL! You know whoâs not with that, though, is Kristen Stewart,âŚ
He can be your hero, baby / He can kiss away the pain
Cannes kicked off in the South of France last night with its impossible array of crystalline gowns and expensive-looking make-up jobs. But every year, the fashion is more interesting not during the opening night gala, but in the daytime and other off-night premieres. No one embodies that better than Chinese pop starâŚ
The French government will reportedly assist the Cannes Film Festival in creating a hotline for attendees to report sexual assault and harassment during the festival, which kicks off May 8.
In 2015, the Cannes Film Festival reportedly banned women in flat shoes from their screenings. Now, theyâre banning red carpet selfies. Cannes you please back up off of women just living their lives?
When Sofia Coppola won best director at Cannes on Sunday (for her Civil War thriller The Beguiled), reporters and critics couldnât help but notice that no woman had won that particular honor since Soviet filmmaker Yuliya Solntsevaâs win in 1961 for Chronicle of Flaming Years, and, before that, never.
Sofia Coppola, She of the Unparalleled Soundtracks and Eponymous Sparkling Wine, has won best director at Cannes for her new film, The Beguiled, becoming only the second woman in the highly-regarded festivalâs 70-year history to do so.
Hi Hair Cariacs! (Okay, I know that name isnât exactly clicking yet, so share in the comments what you want yourselves to be called.)
Though it seems like photos of Scott Disick and Bella Thorne making out beside a pool in Cannes were released only yesterday, they were in fact released two days ago, which means the relationship has officially run its course.
Cannes isnât all movies and galas and personal brand promotion and toweling off while pretending you donât know the paparazzi is shooting photographs; apparently there are also cocktail parties, like this one, for the Artists for Peace and Justice. What is this woman doing? Why are we not doing that?
Rihanna, at Cannes this week to celebrate her collaboration with Swiss jeweler Chopard and to see some movies, hit the red carpet for Okja in an ensemble that transformed her into some kind of Matrix-era space angel. That glow!
Late last year, as winter and the imminence of Donald Trump being sworn into office set in, Margaret Cho and Tilda Swinton found themselves in something of a feud. Maybe you remember reading about it here. (And, especially, here.) On Bobby Leeâs TigerBelly podcast, Cho recounted an exchange she had with Swinton aboutâŚ
Where the Met Gala is supposedly Americaâs most important red carpet, you could argue that Cannesâs is the worldâs. The stakes might be higher, though, because of sheer longevity, and it always shows in the fashion choices; every year itâs clear that at least a handful of actors, established and emerging, are tryingâŚ
There is a lot of drama happening at Cannes right now over Netflix movies!
Personal Shopper, Olivier Assayasâs new film about a young American woman in Paris whoâs working as aâyou guessed itâpersonal shopper while simultaneously struggling with the death of her brother, was met with plenty of boos during its premiere at the Cannes last month. Though that kind of response isnât exactly âŚ
Formerly engaged couple Sean Penn and Charlize Theron shared appropriate levels of affection on the red carpet while leaving the premiere of The Last Face on Friday.
Cannes! It is still not over! You probably saw Bella Hadid try to hold all of her parts together inside that tiny red dress yesterday, but did you know there were even more models, and non-modelsâbut mostly modelsâwearing things? Letâs check âem out:
