A release arrived earlier today about Spotlight’s Michael Keaton being named Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters in Paris. It’s a legit medal dating back to 1957; past recipients include Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood and David Bowie. One presumes that Fleur Pellerin, France’s Minister of Culture and Communication, decided to honor Keaton in concert with general interest in Spotlight, which is opening in France and other European regions between 1.27 and 1.29. In any event I wasn’t hugely interested until I saw this photo, which looks like something out of Eyes Wide Shut (shot by Larry Smith) with the gold and blue hues.
