The Cannes Film Festival officially opened on Tuesday evening with a cheeky speech by hostess Camille Cottin, an emotional homage to Hollywood icon Meryl Streep, and a disconcerting deadpan film about making a film. You could call it a perfect cocktail to kick off the 77th edition of the international event.
Drops of rain fell as guests, stars and jury members posed on the red carpet in front of the Palais des Festivals for the opening night.
