(The lovely) Jessica Chastain continues her red carpet domination at the Cannes Film Festival by attending the Lawless premiere (one night after the Madagascar 3 premiere). One challenge with viewing the much-buzzed about Lawless -- Chastain has a very prominent nude scene which she will have to watch with hundreds of other viewers at the film's premiere. "It's going to be interesting to see this film in a huge theater," says Chastain, speaking at the Euphoria-Calvin Klein party on Thursday night. "Because I am, you know, more exposed."
"It will be totally embarrassing," she adds, breaking into peels of giggles. "I am going to be bright red. I'll have to cover my eyes during that scene."
Chastain said a controversy about the lack of female directors in the line-up for the Palme d'Or was pointless. "I think it's silly," she told AFP in an interview. "I think a film should be judged on the film and not on the sex of the person who directed the film."
>>Tell it like it is, JC! (ffg)
(More than a thousand women film-makers and others have signed a US petition in support of French feminists protesting the lack of female directors in the line-up for the Palme d'Or top prize at Cannes. There are no female film-makers among the 22 competing for the Palme, which will be awarded on May 27, and just two among the 17 in its new talent section).
