When Cannes Film Festival Jury President Juliette Binoche was asked today why she didn't sign a global film industry open letter condemning the “silence” over the deadly impact of Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza;

Juliette Binoche, head of this year's Cannes Film Festival jury, said on Tuesday U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose 100% tariffs on films made abroad, among his other policy decisions, was also about saving his reputation.

Halle Berry showed her true stripes in a graphic monochrome gown from Jacquemus. The juror, who told WWD she is ready to usher in a new fashion era during the festival’s fortnight, wore a bold, floor-length trapeze gown with a pink bustle for the opening ceremony, which took place Tuesday night.

The night before her death, she learned that the film in which she appeared was selected here at Cannes. Fatma should have been among us tonight.”

Almost as prestigious as winning the Palme d'Or, the Cannes Film Festival's top prize, is being on the jury that picks the winner.

Halle Berry, Strong, Alba Rohrwacher, Hong Sangsoo, Payal Kapadia, Carlos Reygadas, Leïla Slimani, and Dieudo Hamadi joined jury president Binoche for the Palais' first press conference of the fest.

Along with Binoche, the other eight jurors include Halle Berry and Jeremy Strong, who was unable to attend Cannes last year for the premiere of his Trump film “The Apprentice.” Strong referenced that film, which led to his first Oscar nomination, in his comments on the American president Tuesday.

It stands to reason that hours after Gérard Depardieu was found guilty of sexual assault and handed an 18-month suspended sentence, that his Let the Sunshine In co-star and Cannes Film Festival Jury President Juliette Binoche would be asked to weigh in on whether justice was served in regards to her French peer.

Cannes Film Festival kicked off Tuesday in France with Robert De Niro, Quentin Tarantino, jury president Juliette Binoche and jury member Halle Berry walking the red carpet.
