Emma Stone welcomes the interview and Kevin Costner cries in the cinema – perhaps because his film is so bad. But everything pales next to the thriller “The Substance”, with which Demi Moore shocks the festival.
The Carlton is one of the famous old grand hotels on the seafront in Cannes that has seen many film stars come and go. According to legend, the young Alain Delon was discovered here in the 1950s at a cocktail party during the festival, which he had secretly sneaked into. Actress Emma Stone was officially on site at the weekend, receiving an interview in a plush room on the first floor. She finds Cannes “stressful, exhausting, actually way too much – and that’s exactly why it’s wonderful every time.” That’s a good summary.
