At Cannes, Juliette Binoche Says Trump Is ‘Trying to Save His Ass’
Cannes jurors Jeremy Strong, Halle Berry, and Juliette Binoche weighed in on new dress rules, tariffs, and “the entropy of truth.”

Later, another journalist asked Binoche why she hadn’t signed the open letter, published today, condemning both the killing of Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona — the subject of Cannes doc Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk — in an Israeli airstrike, and the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences for its “passivity” and “lack of support” for No Other Land ’s Hamdan Ballal, who was recently kidnapped and assaulted by the IDF.
