  • Story Text: Day three and the stars keep on coming as the Cannes Film Festival premieres French Film "Un conte de Noel and US director James Toback's documentary "Tyson."
    Mathieu Amalric, soon to be seen as the latest James Bond villain, returned to more familiar territory at the Cannes film festival on Friday (May 16) in a family drama that has been hailed by French critics.
    "Un conte de Noel" ("A Christmas Tale") by director Arnaud Desplechin tells the story of a family brought together one Christmas to try to overcome the sibling rivalries that have fractured their relationships.
    The cast and crew of the film were joined by jury president Sean Penn and pop star Bono.
    Later that evening, boxing's former world heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson took centre stage on the famous red carpet for the world premiere of his documentary film "Tyson" by US director James Toback.
    Pop star Madonna, and Argentine soccer hero Diego Maradona are also expected in Cannes, making it a star-heavy year for the world's biggest film festival.
    The event winds up with an awards ceremony, where the coveted Palme d'Or is handed out on May 25.
