The Croisette's Revival: Monica Bellucci and the Return of Cannes Glamour Monica Bellucci's return to the Palais des Festivals on the Croisette marks a significant moment in the revival of Cannes' classic Hollywood glamour.
As an Italian actress who has been a staple of French cinema since the 1990s, Bellucci brings a touch of old school elegance back to the festival.
Bellucci stars as a mysterious Italian painter in Léa Mysius' psychological thriller, "The Birthday Party", set amidst the eerie marshlands of rural France.
