E’ stato presentato questa mattina il poster della nuova edizione del Festival di Cannes. E’ un sofisticato ritratto in bianco e nero di Faye Dunaway, immortalata da Jerry Schatzberg nel 1970.
Dal comunicato ufficiale:
Jerry Schatzberg is a filmmaker from New York who won the Palme d’Or in 1973 for Scarecrow. He began his career as a photographer and his work is quickly noticed, in particular a series of Bob Dylan photos from the 60s which ultimately are used on the cover of the legendary album Blonde on Blonde. In the early 70s Schatzberg turns to filmmaking and his first film, Puzzle of a Downfall Child (1970), reveals an exceptional sense of framing and lighting for a first-timer. Panic In Needle Park (1971) with newcomer Al Pacino and Scarecrow follow and are both award-winners in Cannes.
Puzzle of a Downfall Child (NDR, in italiano Mannequin – Frammenti di una donna), in which Faye Dunaway has the starring role, has been restored by Universal Pictures. Rarely seen on the big screen the film will be distributed in France by Carlotta in the fall and the restored print will be screened in Cannes in the presence of the director and his actress.
Il Festival si aprirà con il nuovo Woody Allen di Midnight in Paris l’11 maggio prossimo.
Il 14 aprile si conoscerà il calendario delle proiezioni.
