- Story Text: The stars of Sean Penn's latest directorial effort 'The Last Face' arrived in Cannes for the film's premiere on Friday (May 20).
Penn and actress Charlize Theron walked the red carpet with co-stars Javier Bardem, Jean Reno and French actress Adele Exarchopoulos.
Set against the backdrop of the Liberian war, 'The Last Face' revolves around a ten-year love story between two aid workers.
The film has been panned by many critics, many of whom booed throughout the film.
The Daily Telegraph wrote that "Penn has never made a film this bad before" while The Hollywood Reporter labelled the effort as "stunningly self-important but numbingly empty cocktail of romance and insulting refugee porn."
'The Last Face' is one of the 21 films competing for the Palme d'Or. The winner will be announced on Sunday (May 22). - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
