Cannes came to a close a couple of days ago, and unfortunately I couldn’t make a proper update the day of. Mélanie did, however, make appearances at a couple different events and as you can see in the gallery, we already have images from the Directors of Short Films Photocall. During the Cannes craze, Mélanie took the time to show her support (as was the case last year) for the organization “AmFar Against Aids”. Unfortunately, very few pictures were found from that event but Mélanie looked smashing in her black halter dress.
Pictures from the final event of Cannes that Mélanie attended will later be added to the gallery. Fingers crossed that they will appear later tonight, but I can’t make any promises. In the mean time, enjoy the pictures from the events listed above!

Great, great news everyone! Mélanie has made her first appearance at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. According to this article, Mélanie arrived at Cannes on Monday. Thanks to Mariana, we have the translated article. I’ll be posting it at the end of this news feed. Mélanie attended the screening of a movie entitled “Che”, looking simply radiant, and dawning a very brunette color. I’m going to try and collect more pictures from this event, but so far I haven’t been able to find too much. However, stay tuned for more updates!

At 25 years old and despite a whooping-cough that is killing her voice, Mélanie Laurent is living on a little cloud. The reason? She’s just finished a 7 minute long short film called “De Moins En Moins”, the story of a “patient who, in her psychologist’s office, starts to remember less and less”. She’s also signed for a long feature film, will play as an actress in a film this Summer, and will direct a stage play in Paris, near the Champs-Elysées. “I’m starting to get recognized but nobody bugs me. There’s no hysteria or intimate embraces. I’m at a perfect inbetween place”.

Whilst away, and taking care of my personal business, lots of information and news has been released about Mélanie’s 7 minute short film, that is premiering at this years prestigious Cannes Film Festival. According to the official Cannes website, this is the synopsis of the film.

Lisa, a young woman, tries to remember moments in her life with the help of her doctor. Voices resonate, images intermingle… moments of happiness suddenly appear. A few seconds later, she has already forgotten. The disease progresses. Life fades away.

Boyfriend, Julien Boisselier, plays the fiancé of Lisa. Also, famed French actress, Mélanie Doutey also appears in this film as what is simply known as “the friend” at this point. I’m not sure if the film has been viewed yet by the Cannes crowd, but no reviews have been found just yet. Mélanie also has not shown up to Cannes yet, so I’m assuming this means De Moins En Moins was not yet reviewed.

A PDF of the film Poster and information sheet was released on the Cannes website, and we now have it in our gallery for everyone to view. I decided, since my time will be very limited from now on, to turn gallery registration back on. So, if you inquired about this issue before and haven’t received a reply from me concerning it, you may now make your own login.

An a short update here, but Mélanie has signed onto a new role. She’ll play alongside François Berléand and Miou-Miou in a film about a Russian maestro who gets fired for refusing to dismiss his Jewish musicians, called “Le Concert/The Concert”. Filming begins on 18th May in Romania, Moscow and France.

I’ve not died, everyone.. I’m still most definitely here. I’ve been very very busy, and sidetracked in my life offline, thus making updates a bit hard as of late. However, I have got a couple things I want to get added as soon as possible, so please stay tuned for that!
