The ninth day of the 77th Cannes Film Festival was a slow mood affair, with only a handful of stars walking the red carpet and a few film screenings that are left to be premiered at the festival.
With just two days left for Cannes 2024's closing ceremony and awards night, the French Riviera seems to be in a relaxing state. The number of film screenings per day have lowered in number and so have the stars that were seen walking the red carpet. Yet, amidst the slow mood, we still had some exciting moments after the debut of the film The Count of Monte-Cristo which earned a rapturous 12-minute standing ovation from the audience in the theatre. While the film had its moment of glory inside the theatre, in lovely sunny weather outside, our very own Bibbojaan aka Aditi Rao Hydari also created a moment by recreating the buzzing Gajagamini walk from Heeramandi.
Here are some highlights from Day 9!
The Count of Monte-Cristo receives a thunderous 12-minute standing ovation
Earlier this year at Cannes, The Substance had topped the ovation charts, having received an 11-minute standing ovation, and now a record has been set by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière’s grand French epic by receiving a roaring 12-minute ovation leaving the lead actor Pierre Niney all teary-eyed and blowing kisses. This out-of-the-competition French film is based on Alexandre Dumas's 1884 novel The Count of Monte-Cristo and is about how Dantes, after escaping 14 harrowing years in the island prison of Château d’If, amasses a fortune transforming into the enigmatic Count of Monte-Cristo and seeks vengeance against those who betrayed him.
