On May 15th, actress Suzu Hirose appeared at the photocall, official screening, press conference and red carpet of the 78th Cannes International Film Festival in Cannes, France, with her co-stars from the film she stars in, "Distant Mountain Light" (directed by Kei Ishikawa, released on September 5th). She wore two Louis Vuitton dresses. It has been 10 years since Hirose last attended the festival.
At the photocall and official screening, she wore a white halter neck dress from the same brand, paired with black satin sandals, for a feminine look. She also beautifully adorned her hands with a gorgeous white gold and diamond ring.
She appeared on the red carpet in a black dress with a large gold taffeta sleeve. Her hair was slicked back and tucked behind her ears, creating a sharp look.
In an interview after the screening, Hirose commented, "It was a moment when I really felt that the film had reached a truly special place. The scenery is still burned into my memory."
Regarding his first visit to Cannes in 10 years, he said, "When I went (last time), I knew absolutely nothing about the world or about films, and I was just kind of excited, like I'd just followed along." He added, "It's because I've been here for 10 years that I've come back now and felt and thought a lot of different things. This atmosphere of the whole town getting excited about films is something you don't get to experience very often, and I think it's a world that can only be found in Cannes."
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro. Set in Nagasaki in the 1950s and Britain in the 1980s, it is a human mystery that uncovers the secrets of the memories of Etsuko (Hirose), a woman who experienced the atomic bomb. It was officially selected for the "Un Certain Regard" category at the festival.
