Last night in addition to the great premiere out of competition of Killers of the Flower Moon, was presented in competition at Cannes Film Festival May December, by the American director Todd Haynes which brings together Natalie Portman And Julianne Moore in an introspective romantic drama about the sulfurous past of a famous couple. To prepare for her new role, Elisabeth (Natalie Portman), a famous actress, meets Gracie (Julianne Moore), which it will interpret on the screen. The latter had inflamed the tabloid press and captivated the country two decades earlier by maintaining an affair with Joe (Charles Melton), 23 years her junior.

Driven by Samy Burch’s screenplay, Todd Haynes questions the choices of two women at two moments in their lives. A painful return to the past for a sixty-year-old former idol who wants to move on from a sincere and dangerous search for the truth for a Hollywood star at the peak of her career. Between the two, the male character of Charles Melton subtly weaves links between actresses and eras. On the Croisette in Cannes, the director accompanied the film Todd Haynes and the protagonists of the film Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, Cory Michael Smith And Charles Melton. Here are all the photos:
