Cannes kicks off with a Palme d’Or for Meryl Streep and a post-'Barbie’ fête of Greta Gerwig

Associated Press  

CANNES, France — Beneath intermittent rainy skies, the Cannes Film Festival opened Tuesday with the presentation of an honorary Palme d’Or for Meryl Streep and the unveiling of Greta Gerwig’s jury, as the French Riviera spectacular kicked off a potentially volatile 77th edition. A 10-day stream of stars began flowing down the Cannes’ red carpet with the opening night film, “The Second Act,” a French comedy starring Lea Seydoux, Vincent Lindon, Louis Garrel and Raphaël Quenard. “I’m just so grateful that you haven’t gotten sick of my face and you haven’t gotten off of the train,” said Streep, who soon thereafter declared Cannes officially open with Binoche. Last year’s festival, widely celebrated for its robust lineup, produced three Oscar best picture nominees: “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Zone of Interest” and “Killers of the Flower Moon.” A good Cannes will help France keep the global spotlight through the summer. To help rekindle the spirit of last year’s festival, Messi, the canine star of “Anatomy of a Fall,” was the first star to hit the red carpet Tuesday.
