Cannes Film Festival 2009 opening night

When I think of this beautiful May time I immediately think of France.

Last night in Cannes was marked by the grand opening of the 62nd Cannes International Film Festival, one of the most prestigious events in global movie industry.

For the next 11 days the Cannes redcarpet will welcome many big Hollywood actors, directors and producers as well as movie makers from all over the world.

This time around, the Cannes feature film jury includes Robin Wright Penn among others. The actress looked stunning in the silver off-the-shoulder gown last night when visited the screening of Up that actually opened the Film Festival.

Last year Wright’s soon-to-be-ex husband, Sean Penn was President of the jury in Cannes.

[I’m here not to] judge films, I’m here to love them,” Robin said.

The 62nd Cannes Film Festival opened with Pixar’s Up, an animated film about a widower who goes on an amazing adventure to South America. It’s the first time an animated picture has opened the festival.

Aishwarya Rai turned up on the redcarpet for the film looking beautiful in the snow-white gown with a long trail. When posing for photographers she was accompanied by Elizabeth Banks who looked hot in the princess style crimson red dress.

The 62nd Cannes Film Festival is taking place 13-24 May and will include such film in competition as Lars von Trier’s Antichrist, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds starring Brad Pitt, and late Heath ledger’s last film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus out of competition.
