Selena Gomez whistled, Audiard clapped, Charlotte Gainsbourg cheeky… It’s Saturday night fever on the steps of Cannes.

This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of the competition. Emilia Perez by Jacques Audiard, or the story of cartel leader Manitas, who becomes a woman to escape his fate. Just look at the beautiful people walking up the steps of the famous Palais des Festivals. We especially spotted rugby player Antoine Dupont, Salma Hayek and her husband Francois Pinault, Carla Bruni, Charlotte Gainsbourg and even director Justin Trier, last year’s Palme d’Or winner.

Around 6:15pm, Cannes was electrified with the arrival of the entire teamEmilia Perez. Former Disney star Selena Gomez was the first to appear, soon followed by Zoe Saldana, Jacques Oudyard (never without a hat) and the rest of the cast. When suddenly the audience suddenly began to whistle. It’s Selena Gomez’s fault, who didn’t come to meet her fans, some of them from the morning, behind the security barrier. “There is a bad atmosphere there. Selena Gomez didn’t come to greet the people in front of me, all the fans, and that’s very unpleasant in Cannes. He did not speak to us, nor to our colleagues on the other side, reports journalist Louise Ekland on the air France Info: . I’ve never seen this. I’ve never seen people boo on the red carpet. (…) I imagine it’s stressful.” A few minutes later, the reporter received additional information. “Obviously he’s over chased (sic), stressed and above all a health issue and things aren’t going too well tonight. That’s all we know at this point.”

The hiccup, however, didn’t stop the applause for Jacques Audiard, who was cheered by the crowd throughout the red carpet parade. Halfway up the stairs, the 72-year-old director and his team were warmly welcomed by Culture Minister Rachida Dutt. Before leaving, go to the Grand Theater Lumiere.
