Benicio Del Toro will be present at the Cannes film festival this year starring in the French production "Jimmy Picard."
The Puerto Rican actor could be a clear candidate for the best actor award of this new edition of the prestigious French competition, although the jury will hardly choose him, since this award was already given to him in 2008 by "Che, the Argentine."
Only one actor has been able to win the award for best actor in the world. Cannes film festival twice this was Jack Lemmon, who received him in 1979 for "The China Syndrome" and in 1982 for "Disappeared." If Del Toro was awarded he would be the second to do so.
«jimmy picard»Is the adaptation of the book by Georges Devereux in which the author himself recounts his relationship with the chief of the Blackfoot tribe, Jimmy Picard. The two met when a study of psychoanalysis led Devereux to Piccard, suffering from severe alcoholism and severe neurosis.
Paper Devereux In this film falls on the French actor Mathieu Amalric, an actor who will also be present at Cannes with "Venus i Fur" by Roman Polanski.
The direction is in charge of Arnaud desplechin, French filmmaker with more than 20 years behind the cameras, having directed great films such as "Kings and Queen" or "A Christmas Carol."
