The Coen Brothers’ latest film, Inside Llewyn Davies, had its Cannes Film Festival première on Sunday.
The film is set in the 1960s’ Greenwich Village folk music scene, with Oscar Isaac in the title role. Carey Mulligan plays his love interest, Jean Berkey, who is in a relationship with Justin Timberlake’s character yet has become pregnant to Davies. John Goodman plays a jazz musician, and Garrett Hedlund his sidekick.
Garrett Hedlund, Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman and T-Bone Burnet, and directors Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, represented the film at the Festival de Cannes, where it is in competition.
The première attracted numerous celebrities to the Grand Théâtre Lumière’s red carpet: former Miss World, actress and Cannes regular Aishwarya Rai, Nadine Labaki, Jessica Biel, Maudy Koesnadi, Kirsten Dunst, Frédérique Bel, Hofit Golan, Cindy Fabre, Brahim Asloum and Isabella Orsini, Giulio Base and Tiziana Rocca, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman (who managed a public snog for the paparazzi), Vidya Balan, Olga Sorokina, Jane Fonda, Melita Toscan du Plantier, shoe designer Christian Louboutin, Christoph Waltz, Cristian Mungiu and Lynne Ramsay, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, and the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, Gilles Jacob.
One of the main sponsors, Electrolux, has been hosting the stars at the Electrolux Agora Pavilion, and on Sunday, Jade Jagger paid a quick visit, greeted by two-Michelin-star chef Bruno Oger.
