Renate Reinsve has reproduced the iconic photo of Justine Triet
Renate Reinsve was in Cannes for the movie sentimental value by Joachim Trier, Grand Prix of this 78th edition.
Taken on the terrace of the Palais des Festivals in 2023 when the French director Justine Triet won her palm of gold For Anatomy of a fallthe photo of Martin Colombet quickly became viral on social networks. In an article of Releasethe photographer had returned to this cult shot:
“We never know why an image becomes viral. This portrait is the opposite of the boring photos of the winners with their price in hand. I especially think that its very strong and political speech, mixed with the strong media coverage of the festival, formed a huge resonance fund around its image. There is also cigarette, which has become transgressive in our policed societies, and of course the class and the freedom of Justine.”
We actually remember that the French filmmaker took advantage of her speaking time to denounce the pension reform, as well as “The commodification of culture (…) breaking the French cultural exception”. A very political discourse that had reacted a lot.
This image, with all that it means, was taken up by the Norwegian actress Renate Reinsvepresent this year at the Cannes Film Festival for Vsentimental by Joachim Trier. We see her posed with The Grand Prix awarded to the film Saturday May 24, cigarette in the beak. The actress re-collaborated with the filmmaker after Julie (in 12 chapters)also presented in Cannes in 2021 and which earned him The price of female interpretation. The assembly between the two women was relayed by Marie-Ange Luciani, the producer ofAnatomy of a fall.
