VS‘is on the air of Star Wars that Camille Cottin opened the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. “In a galaxy far far away, episode 77”, begins the actress, who describes the end of a festival on the knees after an orgy of films. It’s now time for « interstellar celebration ” For “twenty-two rebels” – understand films in competition, decided by “eight jedis” and an “Mistress Yoda” – the jury.
The mistress of ceremonies was preparing to welcome, beyond the winners of the prize list, a special guest of honor, the director-producer George Lucas, who received an honorary Palme d’Or from the hands of his friend Francis Ford Coppola.
