Two Lovers was also on show last night, but there was no Joaquin Phoenix on the red carpet after his doctor refused to let him fly due to ill health.
Also starring Gwyneth Paltrow, who attended Cannes for the first time, Two Lovers centres around a depressed young man’s life is turned around after he moves back in with his parents and two women enter it a beautiful volatile neighbour trapped in an affair and the lovely daughter of a close family friend.
The film is the third time that Phoenix has teamed up with American director James Gray and this is the third consecutive In Competition film for the director after The Yards and We Own the Night.
