Festival Poster

The poster for the 64th Cannes Film Festival is of Faye Dunaway photographed by director Jerry Schatzberg in 1970 for his movie Puzzle of a Downfall Child, in which she has the starring role. The festival's website describes it as, "Model of sophistication and timeless elegance, it is an embodiment of the cinematic dream that the Festival de Cannes seeks to maintain." A restored copy of Puzzle of a Downfall Child will be screened at the Festival and released in France this autumn.
