- Story Text: Director Sean Penn and actress Charlize Theron arrived for a news conference in Cannes on Friday (May 20), following the first screening of their film earlier in the day.
Set against the backdrop of the Liberian war, The Last Face revolves around a ten year love story between two aid workers.
It has been panned by many critics, who have bemoaned what they describe as the film's stilted dialogue and relegation of African conflict victims to backdrop figures.
The Last Face, which is one of the 21 films competing for the Palme d'Or, is set to have its premiere later on Friday. The winner will be announced on Sunday (May 22). - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
