CANNES PHOTOS: See standout moments of glamour, humor and reunion as the festival draws to a close
May 27, 2023
CANNES, France (AP) — The
Cannes Film Festival
always commands a certain amount of awe.The appearances by
cinema royalty
, the nightly parade of high fashion and the festival'sability to launch filmmakers
and films large and small onto the global stage all combine to produce an array of eye-catching moments during the 12 days of Cannes.As the festival
draws to a close
Saturday, see some of its standout moments through the lenses of photographers for The Associated Press.From its first day, the 76th edition demonstrated its ability to draw attention, hosting
Johnny Depp’s return to cinema
with the opening night film, “Jeanne du Barry.”While some were irked by the emphasis on Depp — who
told the AP
"I didn’t know what planet I was on” during his appearance for the premiere — the festival quickly turned the spotlight onto other stars.Michael Douglas accepted an honorary Palme d’Or and
kisses from his wife and daughter
at the top of the festival’s famed Palais stairs. Harrison Ford,debuting his last film as Indiana Jones
, also accepted an honorary award, choking back tears after a career highlight reel was played.Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio reunited on the red carpet at the
premiere for “Killers of the Flower Moon,”
one of the festival’s most prestigious entries and areturn for Scorsese
to the French Riviera cinema celebration.Wes Anderson also returned
, this time joined by Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson and the many stars of his film “Asteroid City.”Six days after her father’s premiere, Lily-Rose Depp debuted her own controversial project, the HBO series “The Idol.” The younger Depp and costar The Weeknd shined on the red carpet and smiled and laughed together as photographers snapped away.
The festival runs on its own precise rhythm, with press conferences and daytime photocalls. The French Riviera often serves as a whimsical backdrop, as when actor Tom Mercer did a handstand for photographers or “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” actor Ethann Isidore took a leap from a podium.
Yet the biggest attention grabbers remain the flashy premieres, where fans crane for even
fleeting glimpses
of their heroes. Cannes is the place where stars playfully interact with the cameras and, when the films stop, awards prognostications begin asthe applause
helps carry movies to screens around the world.___
