Monica Bellucci, mistress of ceremonies at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival
The Italian actress will be the mistress of ceremonies at the 70th Cannes Film Festival taking place between 17th and 28th May, set to be presided over by Spanish movie director Pedro Almodóvar.
The Italian actress Monica Bellucci is the new mistress of ceremonies for the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, stepping into the shoes of actor Laurent Lafitte. Far from being a newbie to the red carpet, the actress is something of a regular at the famous international competition, having presented numerous films there including Stephen Hopkins’ Suspicion and the dramatic Irréversible by Gaspar Noé. She was also a member of the Jury in 2006 under the presidency of Wong Kar-wai. We’ll be seeing lots of Monica alongside this year’s jury president Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar.
