In a minimalist design,
Faye Dunaway lauds the official Cannes Film Festival poster for this year's 64th outing of the festival that runs May 11th-22nd. The photo of Dunaway was taken in 1970 when she was 29 by director
Jerry Schatzberg when she modelled for Esquire magazine and he convinced the Bonnie & Clyde actress to star in a movie he was developing about a troubled former model in New York who was venturing into depression (recalling her past glory, the over-worked stressful days, an affair with an advertising exec). The movie was titled
Puzzle Of A Downfall Child but wasn't a big success and has rarely been seen in decades and is not currently available on DVD, however Universal have gone to the trouble of restoring the original print, touching it up, and distributors Carlotta have made sure it'll play at the festival next month. The film will then enjoy a theatrical run in France later this year and no doubt it'll eventually reach U.K. and U.S. Screens, and perhaps with Criterion or Studio Canal picking it up for a home video release.
