Carla Bruni-Sarkozy in Silver Mini dress on the Red Carpet

On May 19, for the screening of The Zone of Interest, prestigious guests followed one another on the red carpet. Among them, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, who came to attend the Festival, against all odds.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy appeared proudly on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, surprising everyone. The singer ignored the various controversies surrounding her husband Nicolas Sarkozy - who was sentenced two days earlier to three years in prison, including one year in prison, in the wiretapping trial, and who has announced that he is appealing to the Supreme Court - to go to the Croisette.

The artist, radiant in a short and glittering dress signed Celine, with a train, also wore Chopard jewelry. The former model also demonstrated the extent of her talents by posing with ease in front of the photographers around. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was about to discover the feature film The Zone of Interest, by Jonathan Glazer (Under The Skin), screened in competition. She also demonstrated the extent of her talents by posing with ease in front of the photographers around.

Adapted from the novel of the same name by Martin Amis, the film tells the story of an Auschwitz commandant, Rüdolf Höss, who, with his wife, tries to build a dream life for his family in a house next to the camp. A work that was also able to view Hollywood celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, who came to present her own film The New Boy at the Festival, and arrived on the arm of director Warwick Thornton. There was also Natalie Portman, who made her entrance around 18:30.

Like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the star wore a shiny dress. Just like Chiara Mastroianni, wearing a sparkling gray outfit, and Adriana Karembeu, in a silver armor dress. In addition to these actresses in light clothes, the director Cédric Klapisch and his wife Lola Doillon also walked the red carpet. The directors Charles Berling and Claude Lelouch, also responded present.

The scriptwriter Liv Ullmann, to whom Dheeraj Akolkar dedicated a documentary, screened later in the evening, also walked the red carpet. Alexis Michalik and Pierre Deladonchamps followed her. If Denis Ménochet, Julia Ducournau and Ruben Östlund had made the trip, the other members of the jury, Atiq Rahimi and Brie Larson, were absent. The film's team, composed of producer Ewa Puszczynska, Sandra Hüller, Jonathan Glazer, Christian Friedel and producer James Wilson, closed the proceedings.
