Cannes Kicks Off With Palme D’Or Honor For Meryl Streep, Strong Female Vibes & Nod To #MeToo


Cannes 2024 Opening Ceremony: Meryl Streep, Greta Gerwig Get Red Carpet Treatment

The Barbie filmmaker was treated to a performance by French popstar Zaho de Sagazan of David Bowie’s iconic hit “Modern Love,” in tribute to a memorable scene to her 2012 breakout role in Francis Ha. Streep told “La belle Binoche” she had recently revisited her oeuvre and “had to go to bed I was crying so hard” after watching last year’s Oscar submission from France, The Taste of Things. This edition of Cannes is unfolding against the potentially explosive backdrop of France’s#MeToo wave, sparked by actress and filmmaker Judith Godrèche’s decision to speak up about sexual abuse she says she suffered as a teenager.
