ILLER LOOKS and a “never

say die” spirit reigned supreme

at the 72nd annual Cannes

Film Festival, May 14-25,

2019. Setting that tone, the
      famed fest paid homage to French New Wave
      pioneer Agnès Varda—who passed away
      in March 2019—immortalizing an image
      of the director shooting her 1955 debut
      feature La Pointe Courte on Cannes 2019’s
      official poster. Once underway, an opening
      night premiere of Jim Jarmusch’s colossally
      cast zombie comedy, The Dead Don’t Die,
      injected new life into a genre nearly run
      ragged. And at the end of the 11-day event,
      Asian auteur Bong Joon-ho emerged as
      the winner of the Palme d’Or for his dark-
      comedic familial drama Parasite, becoming
      the first Korean helmer in history to lay claim
      to the honor after his previous feature Okja
      unsuccessfully competed for the prize in 2017.
      Of course, high fashion on the
      Croisette hasn’t died either, as MovieMaker
      photographer Fabrice Dall’Anese’s snapshots
      of the stars on the scene remind us:
      Frankie star Isabelle Huppert sparkled
      against the night sky; Julianne Moore’s
      (star of Luca Guadagnino’s short film
      “The Staggering Girl”) emerald ensemble
      popped amidst coastal palms; and
      Christoph Waltz oozed elegance in a timeless
      tux en route to the in-competition premiere
      of Justine Triet’s Sibyl. These killer looks
      are the visual embodiment of the stylish and
      soulful cinematic slate that Cannes has kept
      alive and thriving for yet another year.
