Lucy tells Cinemoi that while ‘people want to think that nuclear weapons disappeared with the cold war…but this is not the case’.

The film’s producer Lawrence Bender praises Lucy as ‘ very intelligent and an excellent film maker’ and explains that to she was able to boil down the complicated issues that the film raises into something that everything can understand.

Having taken three years to get ready, Lucy describes the film as a call to action to raise awareness and activism about the escalating nuclear arms race.

Juliette explains that her character, Elle, spends much of film ‘trying to find something in the man’ – and also explains how she was able to really understand her character by being able to watch the film on a mocked-up DVD before it was made.

Juliette also tells us how important she thinks French cinema is in bringing a diversity to world cinema – and explains about the broad spectrum of people she has worked with.

And has the festival gone well for Juliette, well, she says that Cannes is like wine – some years it’s good, other years it’s bad..

Cinemoi take us on a whirlwind tour of the biggest and busiest red carpets from the festival – decorated with the best dressed and most recognisable stars of modern cinema.

From Eva Longoria Parker to Salma Hayek and Cuba Gooding Jr, every genre of cinema is represented at Cannes!

With footage from the film, and footage from the cast press conference, Michael Douglas explains how Gordon Gekko is the perfect villain – and how shocked both him and Oliver Stone were with the response from the public Gordon received after the first film.
