This…?

My initial reactions to the just-revealed official poster for the 2010 Cannes Film Festival are as follows: (a) “I like the monochrome-plus-neon blue, but it doesn’t exactly dazzle. Lacks pizazz. Juliette Binoche‘s expression is supposed to exude serenity or whatever, but it seems sedate and complacent.” (b) “Binoche is the 2010 poster girl because…? Oh, I get it. Because French photographer Brigitte Lacombe asked her. Fine.” (c) “Binoche’s black slacks seem a bit long — should have been finessed by a tailor.”

HE reader Andy Smith had the best reaction: “It looks like an ad for Binoche hosting SNL. Or, you know, one of those commercial-break cards they sometimes show during a broadcast.”

  1. I think they’re trying to go for “hip” and modern as opposed to staid. Not exactly successful but I’ll never tire of looking at JB.

  2. Juliette is really beautiful but hard to see her face with that shadow. and I like the length of her pants with barefeet. Also the neon-look of the cobalt blue. Or perhaps that should be blu for Cannes.

  3. Who do you think you are talking to when you say ‘Fine’? You realize nobody else on the planet is considering these subjects?

  4. It’s a takeoff on a famous photo of Picasso, who really did create a drawing with a flashlight in time exposure.

  5. “It’s a takeoff on a famous photo of Picasso, who really did create a drawing with a flashlight in time exposure.”

    True, but she’s not carrying a flashlight.

  6. I actually thought it was legacy-celebrity Isabella Rossellini, so at least it’s actor with, you know, the ability to act…

  7. Binoche = blecch.

    Indifferent if respectful to her for the most part, then I saw that goddamn, godawful stupid fucking movie VOYAGE DE LA BALLON ROUGE. Fuck that movie. Yes, I know it’s an international critical sensation. Yes, I know what the director was going for, but I don’t care that he’s “the future of arthouse cinema” or that he’s Asian so automatically he’s a genius.

    TWO FUCKING HOURS of Binoche making STUPID “baguette faces” and squinting her eyes and playing with her floppy hair, stuffing her face and MUGGING like seventh season Jefferson D’Arcy in every scene. And we’re supposed to, what, feel sorry that she’s a FRAZZLED SINGLE MOM doing her best? Fuck that character. Hey lady, maybe if you’d get a better “JOB” than doing CHINESE MARIONETTES IN FRANCE, you’d get a fucking paycheck and take care of your shit. INSUFFERABLE. Worst movie EVER, worst performance EVER, worst character EVER.

    Oh, I’m so French and arty and have such integrity and I’m such a STRONG WOMAN I live in abject poverty because I do a MUGGING PUPPET SHOW IN CHINESE AND CAN’T MAKE A LIVING FOR IT.

    The only way that RED BALLOON movie would’ve been improved is if fucking JIGSAW had kidnapped Binoche’s LOATHESOME character and put her through his standard paces.

  8. Awful poster.

    The light painting phenomenon has been far over-played on the internet recently. It seems like every other photograph I StumbleUpon shows another genius who wanted to share his fuzzy bright lines with the world.

    We get it. It looks REALLY cool. Now, can we please use it with a little purpose?

    And the foot just barely chopped off at the bottom comes across as just a tad amateur, albeit probably a deliberate choice.

  9. Yes, I know what the director was going for, but I don’t care that he’s “the future of arthouse cinema” or that he’s Asian so automatically he’s a genius.

    yeah Hou Hsiao-hsien is a real up-and-comer

  10. The design looks good but it really should be a series of posters with a bunch of different actors and/or directors to make sense.
