The Richest Woman in the World, a film loosely inspired by billionaire Liliane Bettencourt, was presented at Cannes out of competition this Sunday.
A true star of this red carpet, Isabelle Huppert attracted all eyes. Wearing a neon Balenciaga gown, the actress complemented her look with a De Beers set. A regular at the Cannes Film Festival, she caused a sensation on May 18th, alongside the rest of the cast. In a sequined gown, Marina Foïs lit up the red carpet. The Franco-Italian actress appeared smiling for the cameras. Laurent Lafitte, the master of ceremonies for the opening and closing ceremonies of this 78th edition of the festival, also made a notable appearance. Like director Thierry Klifa, the 51-year-old actor wore an elegant black suit and a matching bow tie.
Starring in the feature film The Richest Woman in the World, directed by Thierry Klifa and largely inspired by the story of Liliane Bettencourt, Marina Foïs and Laurent Laffite were making their debut in the competition. The Richest Woman in the World, the chaotic destiny of the L’Oréal-Bettencourt dynasty and its family rifts, this fiercely enjoyable saga is masterfully written, directed, and performed by an impressive cast.
Actress Isabelle Huppert will surprise you in a role that follows in the footsteps of François Ozon’s 8 Women. With Laurent Lafitte, she creates an already iconic duo, with lines and scenes that will inevitably provoke a reaction.
Thierry Klifa’s dramatic comedy will be released in theaters on October 29th.
