The rise of the steps of the 77th Cannes Film Festival continues this Tuesday, May 21. In the spotlight today, the film Marcello Mio. Chiara Mastroianni, the actor’s daughter, Catherine Deneuve his ex-partner, play in the film. Just like two ex-companions of Chiara: Melvil Poupaud and Benjamin Biolay. Nicole Garcia and Fabrice Luchini complete this team of exceptional actors.
The pitch? It’s the story of a woman called Chiara. She is an actress, she is the daughter of Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve and for one summer, disrupted in her own life, she tells herself that she should rather live her father’s life. She now dresses like him, speaks like him, breathes like him and she does it with such force that others around her end up believing it and start calling him “Marcello”.
Benjamin Biolay and Catherine Deneuve accomplices
This Tuesday evening, they all arrived on the red carpet. We were then able to observe that Benjamin Biolay (dad of Anna, daughter of Chiara) and Catherine Deneuve were hand in hand, and that they exchanged many smiles and words. The actress and her ex-stepson were definitely very close. The singer was also very close with Melvil Poupaud, despite the fact that they loved the same woman. We imagine, in any case, that if they agreed to mutually participate in this project, it is because their understanding is very good. They have already explained it, like the passage from Melvil Poupaud in As an aside : “We form a small club with Benjamin [Biolay] who is our friend. We are a small group, with our children, the family, Chiara’s mother…“
As for their looks tonight, Catherine Deneuve was sublime in a black, floral and colorful ensemble at the level of her bust. Chiara Mastroianni, she wore an incredible tight and sparkling dress. Benjamin Biolay opted for a leather jacket and a pair of glasses. And Melvil Poupaud for a navy blue jacket combined with a very elegant bow tie.
