On the occasion of its 65th anniversary, the Festival de Cannes pays tribute to Marilyn Monroe, selected as the icon of the 2012 Festival.

Fifty years after her death, Marilyn is still a major figure in world cinema, an eternal icon, whose grace, mystery and power of seduction remain resolutely contemporary.

Each of her screen appearances sparks the imagination. The Festival poster captures Marilyn by surprise in an intimate moment where myth meets reality – a moving tribute to the anniversary of her passing, which coincides with the Festival anniversary.

She enchants us with this promising gesture: a seductively blown kiss.

The Festival is a temple of glamour and Marilyn is its perfect incarnation. Their coming together symbolises the ideal of simplicity and elegance.?

娛樂快訊:第65屆戛納電影節(jié)發(fā)布了官方海報,本屆海報延續(xù)了上幾屆的女性主題, 而相比于上一屆的費·唐納薇和上上屆的朱麗葉·比諾什,本屆的海報人物更加重量級,她就是永遠的性感女神瑪麗蓮·夢露。在攝影師Otto L.Bettmann的鏡頭下,夢露吹蠟燭的形象似乎在為走過65年風雨的戛納電影節(jié)慶生。

對于選擇夢露作為海報人物,戛納官方解釋:“盡管夢露已經(jīng)去世了半個世紀,但她似乎從未離開過人們的視線。她是電影史上不可替代的重要人物,是永遠的時尚icon。時至今日,夢露的優(yōu)雅、神秘、魅惑依舊讓人深深著迷,而她在銀幕上留下的光影則成為后世影人的靈感源泉。今年是夢露逝世五十周年,也是戛納電影節(jié)六十五周年,為了表達紀念,我們特別選擇了夢露手捧生日蛋糕,吹滅蠟燭的瞬間,這一刻美得叫人屏氣凝神,仿佛夢想照進了現(xiàn)實。戛納電影節(jié)是一次充滿魔力與榮光的盛會,而瑪麗蓮·夢露是最完美的代言。戛納+夢露象征著優(yōu)雅與簡約?!?/p>

其實,這并不是戛納電影節(jié)第一次在海報上致敬夢露,早在1980年第34屆戛納的海報就借用了夢露的形象。第65屆電影節(jié)將于5月16日至27日舉行,意大利籍電影演員、導演南尼·莫萊蒂被任命為本屆戛評委會主席。
