Cannes, Chastain, Critics

More Cannes prizes to discuss. We'll illustrate with Jessica Chastain at Cannes because.... she pretty! Always prizeworthy

Mmmmmcccchastainy!

 

 

FIPRESCI -International Federation of Film Critics
COMPETITION  Blue is the Warmest Colour by Abdellatif Kechiche (France, 2013)
This three hour lesbian coming of age drama stars newcomer Adele Exarchopoulos and the ever more impressive Léa Seydoux (Farewell My Queen, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Midnight in Paris ...and many more recently). It's considered a threat for tomorrow's awards from the competition jury, too. Wouldn't you just love to listen to Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee, Christoph Waltz and Nicole Kidman arguing about its graphic 20 minute lesbian sex scene and whether that's just exploitative titillation or artistically justified storytelling?
UN CERTAIN REGARD  Manuscripts Don't Burn by Mohammad Rasoulof (Iran, 2013)
PARALLEL SECTIONS Blue Ruin by Jeremy Saulnier (USA, 2013), a noirish revenge thriller, which played in Directors Fortnight. Radius/The Weinstein Co. picked it up for distribution

CANNES Ecumenical Jury
WINNER The Past by Asghar Farhadi (Iran, 2013)
COMMENDATIONS Miele by actress Valeria Golino (her directorial debut!) and Like Father Like Son by the acclaimed Hirokazu Kore-eda

you should have illustrated this with emmanuelle seigner in her red 'dress' just because.

Jessica as the woman in red wins this comparison. Colors on the warmer spectrum compliment her natural beauty most consistently.

I'm gonna sound so gay, like usually i'm not even into fashion, but OMG I LOVE ALL OF YOUR OUTFITS!!! Like, seriously, when I looked at each different look, I wanted to vote for it. Ended up going with red because the hair and the red is so sexy and va va voom. I don't call her Jessica JizzStain for nothing ;).

She's such a hit & miss dresser. I'm convinced she played it down all awards season so she could wow us at the Academy awards.

SO happy for Seydoux, she deserves every accolade.

@Nathaniel: Have you seen Sister yet? Seydoux has really just been on fire.

May 26, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTB

I know you all love her, but I'm enjoying her momentary hiatus.

May 26, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterPeggy Sue

I wish she wore green/emerald more.

And that hiatus includes her working on Miss Julie and signing up for a million new projects. That's some off-season.
