The 2015 Cannes Film Festival kicks off today and I'm excited as ever about all the film news and reviews that will be coming our way over the next 11 days. Among the films that will premiere during this year's festival are 'Macbeth' (Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard), Todd Haynes' 'Carol' (Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara) and 'Louder Than Bombs' (Jesse Eisenberg and Amy Ryan), as well as Woody Allen's 'Irrational Man' (Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix), Natalie Portman's 'A Tale of Love and Darkness' and the animation film 'Le Petit Prince'. The festival will open today with the film 'La tête haute' by Emmanuelle Bercot, which, interestingly enough, happens to be only the second opening film in the festival's history to have been directed by a woman.
The Cannes red carpet seems promising this year as well, with red carpet fashion favourites such as Emma Stone, Cate Blanchett and Diane Kruger attending. Here's hoping someone will finally wear that gorgeous Valentino Couture dress I've been dying to see off the runway (and without the jacket) since January!
