The young singer turned actress in Xavier Giannoli’s In the Beginning, Virginie Despentes’ Bye Bye Blondie and specifically last year’s Critics’ Week selected Alice Winocour’s debut film Augustine will be a popular face on the Croisette this year as the section have have made the official poster of the 52nd edition public. The fest added, “by discovering first features, the section in charge of talent scouting also showcases new actors, often performing their first roles on the big screen. Maggie Cheung, Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, Gael García Bernal, Alice de Lencquesaing, all these actors whose early and promising years are reflected in Soko’s luminescent and serene beauty, which radiates the pleasure and sensuality of performance.”
