Cannes Up Close
Ellen von Unwerth hit the Cannes Film Festival to shoot some of the most exciting and promising talent for DuJour. Click through to see what each of them had to say about partying on the Côte d’Azur.
Ahna O'Reilly, of Fruitvale Station and As I Lay Dying, who fondly recalls, "James Franco’s production company threw me a party. Just a party in honor of me, which I couldn't believe anyone was doing. I had all my As I Lay Dying family and Fruitvale Station friends there."
Ahna O'Reilly wears a dress by DIANE VON FURSTENBERG. Makeup: Emma Day for Chanel at The Milton Agency. Hair: Johnnie Sapong using Leonor Greyl at Jed Root.
Legendary producer Jerry Weintraub, at the festival premiering Behind the Candelabra, is a Cannes veteran: "I've been going to the festival for at least 35 years. I'm usually on a yacht or with friends in the south of France, and then I sail up to Italy and around Sardinia and so on."
Jerry Weintraub wears a jacket by BRIONI, shirt by JOHN VARVATOS, jeans by DIESEL and shoes by NIKE.
Rising Australian actor Alexander England remembers his best experience at the festival: "I recall standing on a balcony at the Gatsby party, looking down at Florence Welch, from Florence and the Machine, performing. I had a very tasty cocktail and I think cannons went off. That struck me as a pretty amazing moment."
Alexander England wears a shirt and tie by HUGO BOSS.
Israel Broussard, the 19-year-old star of The Bling Ring was thrilled to be in Cannes. "This was my first trip out of the country, so it was definitely something to be excited about," he says. "I didn’t know much about Cannes. I was Googling it on my way to the airport, trying to get some background, and I was like, Oh, my gosh. I didn't feel like I was ready for that."
Musician Bryan Ferry, a contributor to the sountrack for The Great Gatsby, with his sons. Bryan Ferry and sons wear pieces from Ermenegildo Zegna, Burberry and Robert Graham.
The Great Gatsby star Elizabeth Debicki says, "At every party I went to, I walked past people who have only ever existed to me on a screen or in my imagination. I walked right past them and tried to be very well behaved."
Elizabeth Debicki wears a suit by REED KRAKOFF, and shoes by GIORGIO ARMANI. Makeup: Emma Day for Chanel at The Milton Agency.

Actress Anna Anisimova, who says, "The whole experience was pretty over the top and glamorous, but one night was particularly surreal. We left where we were staying and took a boat to Paul Allen's party, which was on this magnificent yacht. Then we took another boat to another gorgeous yacht for the Chopard party. Both of them were so different and had such interesting guests. I was thinking, 'Where am I? What is this world?'"
Anna Anisimova wears a jacket by AKRIS and a dress by VICTORIA BECKHAM.
Paz Vega, who adds "It's fantastic to see the people you do in Cannes. Like Jane Fonda—I hadn't seen her in months. She is a fascinating woman and we had an amazing dinner at Tetou, where you can eat the best bouillabaisse."
