The actress will thus be responsible for handing over the next Palme d’Or, on Saturday May 24 in the evening.
“I look forward to sharing these moments of life with the members of the jury and the public, “said Juliette Binoche in a press release sent by the event. “In 1985, I climbed the steps for the first time with the enthusiasm and uncertainty of a young actress; I did not imagine returning 40 years after in this honorary role of president of the jury. I weigh the privilege , responsibility and the absolute necessity of humility. “
