If Jane Fonda threw a scroll at me, I’d welcome it. I’d view it as an anointing of kinds. A non secular expertise, truthfully.
On Friday, the legendary activist and two-time Oscar-winning actor attended the Cannes Movie Competition to current the festivals most vital prize: the Palme d’Or.
This yr’s winner was Anatomy of a Fall, and the movie’s director Justine Triet took the stage to just accept her award from Jane.
After Justine give her acceptance speech, the director walked away from the rostrum together with her award in tow. You understand, as is commonplace for winners at awards ceremonies.
However right here’s the place issues went unexpectedly. Justine appeared to unknowingly have left a scroll that accompanied her award on the rostrum.
This prompted Jane to seize the scroll and attempt to get the director’s consideration. Nevertheless, with Triet’s again to Jane, the actor determined to throw the scroll at her, although Triet was unaware of this too and one other individual on stage picked it up and handed it to her.
Don’t fear, there doesn’t appear to be any dangerous blood between the 2 girls. As a result of they promptly posed collectively after Justine’s acceptance speech. Sure, Justine had her award and scroll in hand.
All this to say, congrats are to ensure that Justine. Anatomy of a Fall, which follows a girl who tries to show her innocence after her husband mysteriously dies within the snow, was picked up by Neon for North American distribution; nonetheless, a stateside launch date has not but been introduced.
