Woody Allen Film With Carla Bruni Cameo To Open Cannes Film Festival

PARIS — Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris," which features France's first lady in a minor role, will be the opening night movie at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

"Midnight in Paris" marks the acting debut of former supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

The romantic comedy stars Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates and Adrien Brody.

Allen's film will screen at Cannes and throughout France on May 11.

The 75-year-old New Yorker is a regular at Cannes, and in 2002 the festival gave him a special achievement award.

I would go anytime to Paris to see Ms. Carla Bruni, but Woody Allen--I don't think so!

Carla Bruni shouldn't be in a movie like this....She is the first lady of France and should act like it.

Aren't Film Festival audiences the only people who see Woody Allen movies?

I agree....I won't watch any movie that he has made, no matter how much I like the actors.......and shouldn't Carla be doing something constructive for the people of France instead of singing and acting? Just asking.

I agree too. I stopped watching his movies after the Soon Yi affair. He's morally repugnant.
