The iconic photo for the poster this year is the shot of the young Deneuve in 1968 standing on the Pampelonne beach, near Saint Tropez, as the cameras roll on La Chamade by director Alain Cavalier.

In the French romantic drama, Deneuve played Lucile, the mistress of a wealthy man who misses the material comforts of life when she leaves him for younger lover.

“Her heart beats frantically, hurriedly, passionately. Like the heart of cinema that the Festival de Cannes celebrates every year? Cannes organizers said of the poster in a statement.

Deneuve is a Cannes regular, including helping launch Jacques Demy’s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, which won the Palme d’Or in 1964.

She went on to dominate top European festivals with titles like Roman Polanski’s Repulsion, A Matter of Resistance by Jean-Paul Rappeneau and The Young Girls of Rochefort by Demy.

One of her best-known roles was in Luis Buñuel’s Belle du Jour, which won Venice’s Golden Lion in 1967.

Deneuve took home the Coppa Volpi for best actress at Venice in 1998 for her performance in Nicole Garcia’s Place Vendôme.

Johnny Depp’s latest film, Jeanne du Barry, is set to open the 2023 Cannes Film Festival with a world premiere on May 16.
