All Cannes Film Festival posters are echoes of the ’60s — Claudia Cardinale, Faye Dunaway, Monica Vitti, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, etc. The just-revealed official poster for next month’s festival follows suit — Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina in Pierrot le Fou (’65). No offense but I watched Pierrot le Fou a few years ago at the Film Forum — it’s lazy, catch-as-catch-can, fairly dreadful. My first impression of the new poster was a little bleary as I was just putting on my glasses at 6 am, etc. But before I recognized Belmondo I thought I was looking at Alden Ehrenreich and Scarlet Johansson pretending to be Belmondo and Karina. That would’ve been cool.
