Now that's daring! Roman Polanski's wife Emmanuelle Seigner shows off eye-popping cleavage in a loud red dress (and matching underwear) in Cannes
|
She is the leading lady so perhaps it was only fitting that Roman Polanski's wife Emmanuelle Seigner stole the show on the red carpet in Cannes.
Looking loud in her red dress, which took plunging necklines to a whole new level, all eyes were on the blonde as she waltzed along the red carpet with her husband in her custom Alexandre Vauthier low-cut silk jersey gown which she styled with red Christian Louboutin sandals.
With her long dress slit up to her thighs the French actress looked vibrant in her dress, the 46-year-old who stars in Venus In Fur - Roman’s adaptation of the David Ives Broadway play.

Mother-of-two Emmanuelle's dress perfectly showed off her lily white skin and with a slick of red lipstick and minimal make-up the actress certainly upstaged fellow actress Nicole Kidman.
With the chilly breeze blowing her red dress around her legs the The Diving Bell and the Butterfly star kept hold of her husbands hand as they negotiated the red carpet.
The film is about an actress trying to get a director to give her a role.

It is not Polanksi's only offering in Cannes.
Three years after Senna, the hit film biography of the late Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, sporting documentaries about Jackie Stewart, Muhammad Ali and Pele are competing for attention at the Cannes Film Festival.
In Weekend of a Champion, the Polish-French filmmaker Roman follows Stewart, his long-time friend, as he prepares to drive in the 1971 Monaco Grand Prix, at a time when the risks to drivers were far greater than they are now.

Polanski said he had forgotten about the film, which was screened at the Berlin film festival in 1972 but never released, until a recent call from a processing lab holding the footage.
He decided to resurrect it, adding a sequence where he and Stewart reunite more than 40 years later to discuss how the sport has changed.
'Back in the day, it was much freer. People could practically, or almost, walk onto the track. Now it's a bit NASA, a bit Martian,' Polanski said after the revised version premiered in Cannes on Tuesday.

Three-times world champion Stewart, now 73, said Formula One had always been at the sharp end of technology, "but I think the racing is still as good today as ever, maybe even better".
The animal is the same, the driver has the same mentality, the same type of person," he told Reuters in an interview.
British director Stephen Frears' documentary "Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight" aims to bring public attention to the boxer's court battle after he refused to fight in the Vietnam War, a stand that made him known far beyond his sport.

It's a wrap for the Cannes International Film Festival this weekend, with the closing schedule to include Roman Polanski's Venus in Fur; Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive; Jerome Salle's Zulu, with Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker; and the annual Cannes film awards.
After two weeks, 20 films and parade after parade down the red carpet, the Cannes Film Festival has not produced a clear-cut frontrunner for the Palme d'Or.
The prestigious award, given to the best film in competition, will be handed out Sunday night, decided upon by a jury headed by Steven Spielberg. And while this year's festival has boasted a cinematic feast, no single film is believed to have clearly set itself apart from the pack.

At least half a dozen films seem to have a realistic chance of winning Cannes' top prize, including the Coen brothers' 1960s folk tale 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' Paolo Sorrentino's rollicking Roman party 'The Great Beauty,' Asghar Farhadi's domestic drama 'The Past,' James Gray's 1920s Ellis Island melodrama 'The Immigrant' and Abdellatif Kechiche's lesbian coming-of-age tale 'Blue is the Warmest Color.'
Consensus is always hard to come by in Cannes, but it does happen. Last year, Michael Haneke's 'Amour' was the far-and-away favorite, and went on to win best foreign language film at the Oscars and earn the rare best picture nomination for a non-English film.
In 2011, Terrence Malick's cosmic rumination 'The Tree of Life' too was obvious Palme material. But the year before, Cannes was fairly shocked when Tim Burton's jury picked the existential Thai film 'Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.'

Palme d'Or oddsmaker Neil Young currently has Farhadi in the lead with 5-to-2 odds to win. The Iranian director, whose film is in French, was honored as the best foreign language film two years ago at the Academy Awards for another domestic drama, 'A Separation.' Having grown into an internationally renowned filmmaker, Farhadi could be in position for the Palme.
But some found his film, with its succession of reveals of past misdeeds, more a feat of mystery novel-like plotting than revealing drama. Certainly, its star, Berenice Bejo ('The Artist'), as a single-mother balancing an ex-husband and a new fiancé, is a possible best actress winner.

So, too, is the star of 'Blue is the Warmest Color,' Adele Exarchopoulos. The 19-year-old actress was one of the breakout stars of the festival in the three-hour French film.
But the American entries this year have been very strong. Perhaps no film was better received at Cannes than 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' along with its newcomer star, Oscar Isaac, who performed live songs for the film. The Coens won the Palme in 1991 for 'Barton Fink.'
Gray's 'The Immigrant,' starring Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix, divided critics between those hailing it as a classically made masterpiece and those unmoved by its operatic emotions. But the handsomely photographed, finely acted New York period piece may have played well with Spielberg's jury.

'I'm trying to live in the bubble as best I can,' Gray said Saturday. 'If a film's reception is great, then you believe your own hype. If it goes poorly, then you think of yourself as a bum - neither of which is usually the case. Usually the case is you're either hostage to or a beneficiary of a certain kind of festival gestalt.'
Alexander Payne's father-and-son story 'Nebraska,' starring Bruce Dern and Will Forte, could also stir the jury with its austere, black-and-white Midwest road trip.
Psychological guesswork of jury presidents is de rigueur at Cannes. This year, many expect Spielberg will steer away from rewarding a filmmaker from his native country.

He leads a starry, international group of eight others: Ang Lee, Nicole Kidman, Christoph Waltz, Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, Japanese director Naomi Kawase, French actor Daniel Auteuil and Bollywood star Vidya Balan.
One of the boldest, most ambitious films in competition was Sorrentino's 'The Great Beauty,' which stars Toni Servillo as a Rome journalist who begins to question a lifetime of late nights. Wildly stylistic but also emotionally personal, it was one of the biggest critical hits at Cannes.
On the outside are wild cards like Steve Soderbergh's Liberace melodrama 'Behind the Candelabra,' Kore-eda Hirokazu's switched-at-birth drama 'Like Father, Like Son' and Chad-born Mahamat-Saleh's disabled dancer tale 'Grigris.'

Soderbergh's film, starring Michael Douglas, will air on HBO in the U.S. just hours after the Cannes closing ceremony. The director is withdrawing from moviemaking, so a win at Cannes would be fitting symmetry. His first film, 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape,' won the Palme d'Or in 1989.
On the first day of the festival, jury member Lee said he was praying the jury would be overwhelmed by a self-evident Palme winner, so they would have to avoid 'rationalizing' their choice through debate. Perhaps the jury was hit by a thunderbolt that didn't resound as clearly for festivalgoers. But most likely, Lee's prayers went unanswered.
