Nicole Kidman commands attention in an edgy black leather corset jacket as she is presented the Women In Motion Award during Cannes Film Festival
cut an edgy figure in a leather-cord as she was presented the 2025 Women In Motion Award during the 78th Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. The award winning actress, 57, looked incredible in the corset style leather jacket which she teamed with coordinated low rise jeans. Nicole added a chunky belt to cinch in her waist and elevated her frame in a pair of towering black stilettos. Styling her long tresses straight, the Moulin Rouge star flashed her gorgeous smile as she posed on the red carpet. The award, which has been presented in Cannes since 2015, recognises female artists who advance the place of women in cinema and in society. Nicole said of the award: 'It's a true honour to receive this award from François, Thierry, Iris, my friends at the Kering Group as well as the Cannes Film Festival. The award winning actress, 57, looked incredible in the corset style leather jacket which she teamed with coordinated low rise jeans 'I am proud to join this list of extraordinary women who've received this honour before me—artists and trailblazers I deeply admire. 'The Cannes Film Festival has been a part of my life for over 30 years and I am thrilled to add this incredible recognition to the many memories I've made here.' It comes after Nicole revealed she's open to a project in which all the television characters she's ever played exist in a single extended TV universe. 'That's hilarious. I'd be up for it,' she said. 'As you know, I'm up for most things. I like to be able to say I'm game. So I'm always ready to try things.' But, there is one person that the Eyes Wide Shut star never wants to work with under any circumstance. And that's her husband country star Keith Urban, also 57. 'We're together in life, so we don't need to do our show together,' she told People at the season two premiere of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers. 'Our life is a show,' she added. Kidman and Urban married in 2006 and share daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman also shares shares two children, Bella and Connor, with ex-husband Tom Cruise. Back to the idea of all of Kidman's characters being in one show, the Family Affair star elaborated on why she'd like to do that. 'I have a huge passion for what I do. I love doing what I do, and I've been incredibly fortunate in my journey, and I'm just always a bit excited. 'I don't take any of it for granted. I'm like, "Okay, thank you. Thank you, universe,"' she added. The Days of Thunder star also revealed why she was so keen to return to her role as the guru Masha on Nine Perfect Strangers. 'Because she's fun and powerful, and [castmate] Maisie [Richardson-Sellers] said something like, "Masha sharks it." 'So I was like, "What does that mean?" But I think that means she's a shark. She comes in, and I don't get to play sharks very often,' Kidman explained. Nicole has been busy with a steady flow of work over the last two years, appearing in the seductive blockbuster Babygirl, Netflix's murder mystery The Perfect Couple, season two of Lioness, and the romcom A Family Affair to name a few. While promoting her latest film, called Holland, at SXSW Film & TV Festival in March, Nicole said she's ready to take a step back from work. 'I was much more out there last year; this year I have Holland, I have Nine Perfect Strangers, and then I'm off for the rest of year. So, oh well!' she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Cannes President Iris Knobloch on Female Directors Gaining Ground, Festival's ‘Netflix Rule,' Relationship With U.S. Industry and Trump's Proposed Tariffs on Foreign Films
Re-elected for a second mandate earlier this year, Cannes Film Festival President Iris Knobloch is kicking off the 78th edition in high spirits. Her arrival at the helm of the festival two years ago has coincided with Cannes' renaissance and closer-than-even bonds with Hollywood. Curated by longtime artistic director and general delegate Thierry Fremaux, last year's selection premiered a record number of Oscar nominations with movies such as Sean Baker's 'Anora,' which made history by winning four major statuettes including best picture and best director; as well as Coralie Fargeat's 'The Substance,' Jacques Audiard's 'Emilia Perez' and Gints Zilbalodis's 'Flow.' A year prior, Cannes was also behind two best picture nominees, Justine Triet's 'Anatomy of a Fall' and Jonathan Glazer's 'The Zone of Interest.' In an interview with Variety on the eve of the festival's kick off, the hands-on Knobloch, who previously headed Warner Bros. in Europe, joyfully spoke about the rise of female talent at Cannes and within the film world (which Cannes has supported through the launch of the Kering's Women in Motion program 10 years ago); as well as took a stance on U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed 100% tariffs on foreign-made films; and the current tensions between American and European film industries; and the role of Cannes to unite people and culture through movies at a time of geo-political turmoils; as well as keeping the red carpet a protest-free zone. The 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival kicks off this evening with Amelie Bonnin's feature debut 'Leave One Day,' and will include a honorary tribute to Robert De Niro from the hands of Leonardo DiCaprio. This year, the four juries are presided over by women and Juliette Binoche is also the second female president in a row, following Greta Gerwig last year. Are you in any way responsible for this female focus? More from Variety Shih-Ching Tsou's 'Left-Handed Girl' Kicks Off Cannes Critics' Week as Taiwan Sees Growth in Global Ventures Kristen Stewart to Discuss Directorial Debut 'The Chronology of Water' With Kim Gordon at Breaking Through the Lens Cannes Gala (EXCLUSIVE) Halle Berry Forced to Change Cannes Dress Amid New Red Carpet Rules, but Says Banning Nudity Is 'Probably a Good' Thing I hope that my presence can contribute to the festival's ongoing evolution. All our juries are now gender-balanced, and this year, each of the four is chaired by a woman. We uphold parity wherever we have direct influence. It is essential that women's perspectives are fully represented and that they have the space to share their vision of the world. Without that, it would be like telling the story of the world with one eye closed. Gender parity remains a priority we share with the Festival's General Delegate, Thierry Frémaux, and it carries deep personal significance for me. And there are also seven female women directors in competition, that's a tie-in with 2023! Yes and these seven by female filmmakers playing in competition represent one third of the selected films. This aligns closely with the overall submissions: women directed 28% of the films submitted, and they account for 25.1% of the Official Selection. We can only select from what is submitted to us but what's especially encouraging is that the proportion of female-directed films is even higher among short films and first features. It's a very positive trend, but one that requires continued vigilance to ensure it doesn't stall. I also sense a growing confidence and boldness among female filmmakers and, just as importantly, a greater willingness to entrust them with ambitious projects. More women are submitting films, and what strikes me is the fortunate sequence of events: Justine Triet's Palme d'Or win, which shone a global spotlight on female directors, followed by Coralie Fargeat's breakthrough success after last year's edition. Do you see any common themes among films directed by women and are you also seeing more films with female protagonists? If you look at the 2024 selection, a significant number of films explored the condition of women around the world. 'The Substance' examined the portrayal of women's bodies in the entertainment industry. 'Anora' told the story of a woman's dream of emancipation. 'Emilia Pérez' was driven by bold, complex female characters. And Rasoulof's film powerfully denounced the violent repression faced by women in Iran. This clearly shows how the festival reflects the world we live in. And what's particularly interesting is that these themes were explored by both male and female filmmakers—proving that the fight for women's voices and stories belongs to all of us. The geopolitical context is extremely tense right now. Do you this this will be a politically charged edition? The festival is always engaged with the films it selects, each one offering a distinct lens on today's world. The Cannes Film Festival's strength is that it selects films from all over the world. This year, films from more than 40 countries are represented, allowing us to view the world through a rich diversity of perspectives, stories, and cultures. Our role at the festival is to offer these filmmakers the opportunity to be seen, to be heard, and above all, to be free in their expression. Their voices are not to be exploited but respected for their authenticity. That, to me, is the essence and beauty of cinema: its power to illuminate struggles for freedom, expose oppression, and celebrate cultural diversity. It is this creative independence that we must continue to protect—and that remains one of the festival's most vital missions. What about Israeli films? Nadav Lapid's 'Yes' is premiering at Directors' Fortnight. Are there any Israeli movies playing in the Official Selection? Yes, the Israeli film 'Mama' by Or Sinai will be presented this year at the festival as part of the Official Selection. Again, more than 40 countries are represented this year through the selected films. You made a nice speech at the press conference announcing the lineup, in which you spoke about the importance of cinema today. What is it a topic you care so much about? Because today, the world seems to be losing its ability to respect differing opinions and engage in meaningful discussion and that is something cinema can help restore. The role of cinema is to create shared dreams in a world that is, unfortunately, increasingly tempted by isolationism. Cinema speaks a universal language and addresses a wide range of subjects. It has the power to travel across borders and convey meaningful messages. That's why cinema and film festivals have a crucial role to play in fostering dialogue. I hope this year's festival will offer films that make us think, reflect, and discover diverse perspectives on the world. Speaking of isolationism, what do you think of U.S. President Trump's declaration on potentially taxing movies made outside of the U.S.? At this stage, it's still too early to gauge the potential impact of these announcements. However, I sincerely hope the global film industry won't be paralyzed by caution or uncertainty. The sector is still recovering from the profound disruptions caused by the pandemic, labor strikes, and more recently, the wildfires in Los Angeles. I hope that a balanced, thoughtful approach—one that respects and preserves the diverse ecosystems that make up the cinematic world—can help us build a healthier, more resilient industry. Cinema thrives when it inspires. And right now, the world needs cinema to remain a truly global art form. That is something we deeply believe in at Cannes. Any system, in my view, should encourage cooperation—not competition at the expense of others. As you will soon start a second mandate at the helm of the festival, are you planning to change the status? Right now, we're finalizing a change to our bylaws which ensure a gender-balanced tandem representing each professional organisation on our board. Aside from that, we don't have any other changes planned for the time being. So no change to the so-called 'Netflix rule' which applies to every movie competing and requires them to have a theatrical release in France? As you know, streaming platforms are welcome at the Cannes Film Festival. This year, Apple is present with Spike Lee's new film, as well as a documentary about Bono. The festival's rule remains clear: to be eligible for competition, a film requires a theatrical release in France. I am convinced that we've now reached a stage where cinemas and streaming platforms can coexist harmoniously. A theatrical release allows a film to become a true cultural event — something that sparks conversation, debate, and shared experience. That's something only the cinema can offer. At the same time, platforms play a vital role in accessibility. After a film's theatrical run, they help it reach a far broader audience across the globe. I don't believe cinema will replace platforms, or that platforms will replace cinema. What we're witnessing is an industry in transformation. Studios are once again investing in theatrical releases, while platforms are evolving too — testing new strategies, adapting, and expanding their creative horizons. You previously headed Warner Bros. in Europe. How important is it for you to keep Cannes as an ally to theaters? It is essential to have strong convictions and a clear identity — and the Cannes Film Festival embodies both. We celebrate cinema from around the world, with a particular focus on films made for theatrical release. Were you chocked to see U.S. guilds attacking the French system which requires streamers to invest a portion of their revenues in local content and also sets strict windowing rules that Netflix and Amazon have recently appealed to the Council of State? It's a system that has proven its resilience. Just look at how well cinemas are performing in France — it's truly remarkable. Of course, every system must evolve, but that evolution should happen through dialogue with all stakeholders and in a way that preserves the right balance. The world is changing, and so must we — thoughtfully and together. After two back-to-back, edition, do you feel that the image of Cannes has been emboldened more than ever? It's true that the past two years have been remarkable. Above all, the Cannes Film Festival is an extraordinary launchpad for films that, without Cannes, might never have reached beyond their national borders. 'Anora,' for example, may never have found such a wide audience without being selected — and the same goes for 'The Substance' and many others. Today, it's difficult for independent films to gain that kind of visibility, and Cannes makes it possible. 'Anora' then went on to win awards all the way from the Golden Globes to the Oscars — which was a joy to witness. There's no rule that awards season begins in September. A great film remains great, no matter when it's released. And Cannes offers an exceptional platform for precisely that kind of cinema. Are you banning protests this year? We saw some people getting thrown out of the red carpet last year. Cannes has always been — and will always remain — a place of free expression. It was founded in direct opposition to fascism and the suppression of speech. That spirit of artistic freedom is part of its said, the festival itself does not take political positions. It is the artists and the films who carry the messages, each in their own voice. On the red carpet, our priority is to keep the spotlight on films and those who make them. That is the festival's core mission — and it is our responsibility to protect it.

Cannes Film Festival unveils 2025 lineup with Julia Ducournau, Wes Anderson and Ari Aster
ADVERTISEMENT The Cannes Film Festival has unveiled its highly anticipated 2025 line-up, following the resounding success of its 2024 edition . Indeed, the 78th edition of the film festival returns after a banner year which saw Cannes steal a lot of Venice's thunder as awards kingmaker. Anora won the Palme d'Or and went on to win five Oscars including Best Picture . The 2024 competition winners, including The Substance and Emilia Pérez , also picked up several awards, while other competition titles like The Apprentice and The Seed of the Sacred Fig also featured predominantly during awards season. All to say that when it comes to setting the cinematic agenda for the rest of the year, Cannes is the place to be. And it looks like Iris Knobloch, President of the Festival de Cannes, and Thierry Frémaux , General Delegate, know it all too well... They presented this year's line-up, with Knobloch making a plea for tolerance and diversity, saying that the Cannes film festival has been in 'dialogue with the world, embodying a France that is brave, curious and open.' Out of the 2,909 feature films in the pre-selection (a record), 19 were chosen for the Official Competition – and the 2025 vintage is looking big, bold and star-studded. It includes new films by Kelly Reichardt, who returns to Cannes with the art-heist drama The Mastermind ; Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier, who returns to the Croisette after The Worst Person in the World with Sentimental Value , also featuring Renate Reinsve; and Ari Aster's Eddington , starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone. There'll also be Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague , which tells the story of Jean-Luc Godard making his classic Breathless ; Julia Ducournau's much-anticipated return to the Croisette with Aplha , following Grave (Raw)* and the Palme d'Or winning *Titane ; and Oliver Hermanus' The History of Sound , starring Josh O'Connor and Paul Mescal in a gay musical romance. Expect this one to break the internet. And of course, it wouldn't be a Cannes line-up at this point without the Dardennes brothers ( Young Mothers ) and Wes Anderson, who will bring his latest film, The Phoenician Scheme , to the Croisette. Scroll down for the full line-up of this year's Cannes Film Festival. It's also worth singling out this year's Opening Film which, for the first time, will be a debut feature - Partir Un Jour by Amélie Bonnin - and that six of the 19 directors in Competition are women: Reichardt, Ducournau, Carla Simon, Mascha Schilinski, Chie Hayakawa and Hafsia Herzi. Elsewhere, the Un Certain Regard sidebar selection will showcase several actors making their directorial debuts, including Scarlett Johansson with Eleanor The Great and Harris Dickinson with Urchin . There will aslo be the A24-acquired feature debut from British director Harry Lighton, Pillion , which delves into the gay biker scene in the UK. Among the Out Of Competition highlights this year are Jodie Foster-starrer Vie Privée , directed by Rebecca Zlotowski; the music documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender ; and the previously announced eighth (and possibly final) Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning . The Cannes Premiere section will also feature several early highlights like Sebastián Lelio's Spanish-language feminist musical The Wave ; The Disappearance of Joseph Mengele from Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov; and the new documentary from the always-brilliant Raoul Peck, Orwell – about the life and legacy of George Orwell. Many may be disappointed to see that Lynne Ramsey's Die My Love , Jim Jarmusch's Father Mother Sister Brother or even Kogonada's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey are absent from the programme, but as is Frémaux's custom, there will be further announcements in the coming weeks. We wouldn't be surprised if the latest Spike Lee joint, Highest 2 Lowest , and at least one of the aforementioned names, gets a cheeky inclusion. ADVERTISEMENT Cannes in the political spotlight Thierry Frémaux and Iris Knobloch announcing the line-up - 10 April 2025 YouTube screengrab The 78th edition doesn't start until 13 May, but the political spotlight is already on the festival – a limelight on systemic violence in the world of culture. Knobloch alluded to it during the announcement of the line-up and it may well end up being one of this year's main talking points. Indeed, after six months' work, more than 100 hearings and almost 400 people questioned, the National Assembly's committee on violence in the film, theatre and advertising industries has presented its report and 89 recommendations. One of these, for example, concerns the right of performers to have a say when it comes to a film's final cut – a recommendation prompted by the testimony of actress Anna Mouglalis who recounted how, after refusing to allow a graphic shot showing her vagina to be kept in, the shot ended up not only in the film but also in the trailer. The report is three hundred and thirteen pages of damning evidence describing moral and sexual violence as 'systemic', 'endemic' and 'persistent'. It calls out a system that reflects 'our society, which is still profoundly sexist and patriarchal,' explained MP and commission rapporteur Erwan Balanant. ADVERTISEMENT When asked about the committee's expectations when it comes to Cannes Film Festival, Balanant mentioned the 'strong sign' of Juliette Binoche 's presidency and added: 'If they can continue what they have started, that would be good.' Indeed, the celebrated French actress will succeed Greta Gerwig as jury president of this year's festival - marking only the second time in Cannes history that the jury will be headed by a woman for two consecutive years – following 1966 when Sophia Loren took over president of the jury duties from Olivia de Havilland. However, Sandrine Rousseau, the chairwoman of the commission, was clearly not satisfied with Balanant's rather vague answer when it comes to Cannes, and has called on the film festival to be 'the place to change attitudes'. She said that the international cultural event has to 'take responsibility', in particular because all the eyes of the world are focused on Cannes in May. ADVERTISEMENT 'The festival must be the place for this change of attitude, where we say loud and clear, institutionally but also with the glitter and the red carpets, at the microphone and on the podium, that at last we all want, all the players, all the levels of these professions, for things to change - because this is not acceptable,' she said. Rousseau added: 'This is a message I'm sending to the Cannes festival. You have a responsibility to say: We hear you, we believe you, we will support you and we no longer want this world to be structured in this way.' So, will this year's 78th edition be a more engaged one? How will Iris Knobloch and Thierry Frémaux address the findings of the report in a meaningful way so as to contribute to changing mindsets and attitudes? It is worth reminding that the industry's trade unions signed an agreement in Cannes last year , an agreement aimed at preventing sexist and sexual violence in the film industry, and regulating the hiring and working conditions of minors under the age of 16. ADVERTISEMENT Since 2018, as stated on the festival website, the event has also strengthened its commitments in the fight against sexist and sexual violence for the duration of the festival with a dedicated assistance unit. All eyes on Cannes for this year's stellar line-up, but also for the future of cinema.

2025 Cannes Film Festival To Include Richard Linklater, Ari Aster, Julia Ducournau And More
PARIS, FRANCE - APRIL 10: Thierry Frémaux and Iris Knobloch are seen on stage during the 78th Cannes ... More Film Festival Official Selection Presentation at UGC Montparnasse on April 10, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by) The Cannes Film Festival unveiled its lineup for the 78th edition, which will be held from May 13 to 24. During the press conference presented by the festival's artistic director Thierry Frémaux and the president of the festival, Iris Knobloch, movies directed by already-established directors such as Richard Linklater and Ari Aster have been announced, among many upcoming and promising filmmakers including actors Scarlett Johansson, Harris Dickinson, but also Fatih Akin and Chie Hayakawa. This year, the president of the jury will be French actress Juliette Binoche, who will be succeeding American director Greta Gerwig who presided over the prestigious jury in 2024. During the conference, Knobloch stressed the importance of having two women as president of the jury one after the other. On Binoche, she said, ''She is one of the few French actresses to have received an Oscar,'' She added: ''She embodies a permanent reinvention.'' In a press release, Binoche said, ''I'm looking forward to sharing these life experiences with the members of the Jury and the public. In 1985, I walked up the steps for the first time with the enthusiasm and uncertainty of a young actress; I never imagined I'd return 40 years later in the honorary role of President of the Jury. I appreciate the privilege, the responsibility and the absolute need for humility.' It was announced a few days ago that Tom Cruise would be returning to the Croisette May 14 for the premiere of Mission: Impossible Final Reckoning. Another impressive cast will also be walking the red carpet this year, as Wes Anderson, a regular at the Cannes Film Festival, will also be presenting out of competition, his newest film The Phoenician Scheme, starring Benicio Del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Tom Hanks, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Jeffrey Wright and Brian Cranston. As always, many of these movies will set the tone for the rest of the year in movies but also for the next awards season. Indeed, for this year's Oscars, many of the nominated and awarded films had previously premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, including the Palme d'Or winner Anora, Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, or yet again The Apprentice, and Flow. Frémaux announced that 2209 films were viewed this year ahead of the offical selection, which is noted to be an absolute record. As always, some categories will be updated in the next few days as the festival keeps announcing new titles in some categories, including the Special Screenings.
