Cate Blanchett Blows Kisses as Apocalyptic Comedy ‘Rumours’ Gets 4-Minute Standing Ovation at Cannes Film Festival
Cate Blanchett's new film, 'Rumours,' earned a standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival on Saturday night.
The film’s directors — Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson — made a joint speech after the applause wrapped, thanking the audience and quoting their own film by saying “it’s better to burn out than to fade away.” Blanchett’s “Rumours” co-star Alicia Vikander was notably not in attendance. In addition to Blanchett and Vikander, “Rumours” also stars Charles Dance, Roy Dupuis, Denis Ménochet, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rolando Ravello, Takehiro Hira and Zlatko Burić. Blanchett has previously been on the Croisette for Todd Hayne’s “Carol” (2015), for which she earned a best actress nomination at the Oscars.
