When is a director, see one of his films open the Festival de Cannes is a privilege. This year, Woody Allen who has the honor, since it is his film will be screened on May 11, opening day of the festival. And apparently, the organizers did not hesitate a second before choosing the inaugural film. Thierry Fremaux, general delegate says that "Midnight in Paris is a wonderful love letter to Paris.

It is a work in which Woody Allen deepens the questions in his latest film: our relationship to history, to the art, pleasure and life. For his 41st feature film, he again demonstrated a great inspiration. " But the beginnings of Carla on 11 May, before we can all attend the debut of Carla Bruni on the big screen.

Last year, the First Lady had indeed been chosen by the famous director to join the cast of the film, shot in Paris. Many had then pointed to the supposedly poor talents of the former supermodel, accusing the passage Nicolas Sarkozy to have forced his hand to Woody Allen to play his wife in the film.

It must be said that Woody Allen is usually demanding. Proof, Midnight In Paris brings together many international talents: Marion Cotillard, Gad Elmaleh and Léa Seydoux for the French cast, and Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Kathy Bates stars in America. No chance in contrast to Carla Bruni won the Palme d'Or this year.

As usual, Woody Allen has refused to compete. The film will be screened out of competition.
