The Cannes Film Festival unveiled the official poster for its upcoming 76th edition.
This year, a decision has been made to honor Catherine Deneuve via a photo taken from the 1968 set of Alain Cavalier’s “La Chamade.”
The press release states:
Catherine Deneuve stands for what cinema should never stop being: elusive, daring, irreverent. Something self-evident: a necessity.
The actress of “Peau d'Âne” is an embodiment of cinema, far from what is conventional or appropriate. Without compromise and always in tune with her convictions, even if it means going against the grain of the times. She is the muse of Jacques Demy, Agnès Varda, Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut, Marco Ferreri, Manoel de Oliveira, André Téchiné, Emmanuelle Bercot or Arnaud Desplechin.
The 76th Cannes Film Festival is set to take place from May 16th to May 27th.
