Sixty-year-old Monica Bellucci attended the Cinéma Paradiso Louvre x mk2 festival, held each summer in the courtyard of the Louvre Museum in Paris. Over the years, the event has become an integral part of the French capital’s cultural calendar, bringing together open-air film screenings, premieres, filmmaker talks and high-profile social gatherings.

For the occasion, the actress opted for an effortlessly stylish denim total look. She wore relaxed wide-leg jeans paired with a matching denim shirt, styling the ensemble with a black semi-sheer top, a delicate chain necklace, sunglasses and a small black handbag.

In 1999, Bellucci married French actor Vincent Cassel. Together they have two daughters, Deva and Léonie. Their eldest daughter, Deva Cassel, has successfully established herself as both a model and an actress, collaborating with some of the world’s leading fashion houses. After 14 years of marriage, Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel announced their separation.

In 2023, the actress confirmed her relationship with American filmmaker Tim Burton. Their romance quickly became one of the most talked-about stories in celebrity circles. However, reports of a split later emerged in the press. Neither Bellucci nor Burton has publicly commented on those claims.

A week before the Academy Awards, another major event in the world of cinema has concluded – the Berlin International Film Festival.

The prestigious Golden Bear was awarded to the Norwegian film Dream by Dag Johan Haugerud. The film is part of a trilogy following Sex and Love, which debuted at the Venice and Cannes Film Festivals last year.

The Grand Jury Prize went to the sci-fi drama Blue Trail by Brazilian director Gabriel Mascaro. The story follows a 77-year-old woman who refuses to move into a nursing home and embarks on a journey through the Amazon rainforest.

The Jury Prize was awarded to The Message by Ivan Fanda, a film centered around a young girl with the superpower to communicate with animals.

The Silver Bear for Best Director was presented to Chinese filmmaker Huo Meng for his film Living on Earth, which depicts the life of a simple rural family in the 1980s.

The Best Leading Actress award went to Australian actress Rose Byrne for her performance in If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You. Rose is known for her roles in Instant Family, Insidious, and Bridesmaids. Meanwhile, Best Supporting Actor was awarded to Andrew Scott for his role in Blue Moon.

The Best Screenplay award was given to Romanian filmmaker and screenwriter Radu Jude for his work on Continental 25. One of his recent works, the dark comedy Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, premiered at the 2023 Locarno Film Festival.

The award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution was given to Glass Tower, a film about a young girl on the set of The Snow Queen.

It is worth noting that the Berlin Film Festival also featured the screening of Time Ribbon by Kateryna Gornostai, which, instead of an award, received a 10-minute standing ovation.
