Bienvenue a Cannes
Bienvenue a Cannes!
Welcome, welcome, to international film’s most important annual event. Cannes history is littered with triumphs and tragedies, careers made and lost on the glittering shores of the French Riviera. Surrounding all that creative peacocking is a whole cottage industry of parties, panels, and other Euro pomp. Vanity Fair will be on the ground for the entirety of the festival’s 78th edition, covering the dizzying highs and wine-soaked lows of international film’s most important annual event. Follow along with us here for up-to-the-minute news, gossip, and reviews.
Elsewhere in HWD, Rebecca Ford has an intimate, F-bomb-laden conversation with Kristen Stewart about the decorated actor’s long-gestating directorial debut, which will soon premiere at Cannes; David Canfield presents two long chats with two uniquely gifted comic minds: Martin Short and SNL’s Sarah Sherman; and VF France reminds us of the scandal that rocked the Croisette in 1954, when a young starlet impulsively took off her shirt—and the moment was captured by a throng of photographers.

No Shirt, No Service
On April 3, 1954, a young actor caused quite a stir in Cannes. Her name was Simone Silva, she was 25 years old—
