Swedish appliance brand Electrolux continued to host celebrities at the Cannes Film Festival, on a day that saw the latest Robert Redford starrer, All Is Lost, make its début.
The Grand Théâtre Lumière played host to J. C. Chandor’s (Margin Call) new film, where Redford’s character finds himself shipwrecked during a solo voyage in his yacht in the Indian Ocean.
All Is Lost screened out of competition at the Festival de Cannes, and maintained its audience’s attention despite the limited scope. Redford proved to be as formidable today as in his heyday, if not more so.
Representing the film on the red carpet were Redford and Chandor, and producers Neal Dodson, Anna Gerb, Mary Cameron Goodyear and Sibylle Szaggars.
Celebrities attending the event included Zachary Quinto, Robert Redford, Petra Němcová, Roman Polanski, former Formula 1 driver Sir Jackie Stewart and Lady Stewart, Irina Shayk, Alessandra Ambrosio, de Grisogono boss Fawaz Gruosi, Jessica Chastain, Sarah Marshall, former Miss Universe India Puja Gupta, Araya A. Hargate, Ameesha Patel, Li Yuchun, Barbara Palvin, Milla Jovovich, Mohammed Al Turki, Fagun Thakrar and Festival chairman Gilles Jacob.
Electrolux hosted a Cannes grand jury luncheon on Wednesday, which Cannes festival director Thierry Frémaux, Christoph Waltz, Cristian Mungiu, Steven Spielberg, Nicole Kidman, Lynne Ramsay, Vidya Balan, Naomi Kawase, Ang Lee and Daniel Auteuil attended. Electrolux partner chef Bruno Oger, a holder of two Michelin stars, hosted at the Agora Pavilion.
