\tI\u2019ve been back to Cannes<\/a> something like 15 times. I was there with Val\u00e9rie Donzelli\u2019s film [Marguerite & Julien<\/a> <\/em>in 2015] in Competition and with the closing film [2012\u2019s Th\u00e9r\u00e8se<\/em>] from Claude Miller. I\u2019ve had films in Critics\u2019 Week and Un Certain Regard. I was President of the Jury that awarded the Camera d\u2019Or [to Vietnamese director Pham Thien An for Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell<\/a><\/em>] in 2023.<\/p>\n

\tBut the one that stands out is from my very first time. I was 15, and I was in Cannes with a Michael Haneke<\/a> film [2003\u2019s Time of the Wolf<\/em>]. I was so young, so light-hearted. I didn\u2019t really understand the craft of an actor, or the stress and joy of attending the Cannes Film Festival<\/a>. I still remember people telling me: \u201cYou don\u2019t know if you\u2019ll ever make another film, this could be the end of your career. So enjoy it while it lasts.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\tI remember the red carpet. I was so young. I didn\u2019t expect the photographers to yell so loudly. When Isabelle Huppert, who was the star of the film, walked up, it was just: \u201cIsabelle! Isabelle! Isabelle!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThen the screening itself, in the Grand Theatre. In that legendary movie theatre with that big screen. The screening felt almost like a religious ceremony. But, because it was a Haneke film, it was also controversial. During the screening, people were whistling and shouting at the screen. Others were clapping. It was incredible. I\u2019d never experienced a screening like that before or after.<\/p>\n

\tLooking back, and returning again to open the festival, I consider myself very lucky to still be in the business 20 years later. And to still be coming to Cannes. Because we aren\u2019t in competition [with The Electric Kiss<\/em>] there\u2019s no extra stress and no extra pressure. Just extra pleasure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
