In their fest opener, “ The Flood,” directed by Gianluca Jodice, the duo plays Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, living out their last days in isolation and poverty. In the past, Laurent has worked with Tarantino on “Inglorious Basterds” and alongside Ewan McGregor in “Beginners,” while Canet appeared in “The Beach” and Jerry Schatzberg’s “The Day the Ponies Come Back.” They are both César winners.
