Cannes 2017 Eva Green attends photocall for new film



She stars in new movie title Based On A True Story that is currently competing at this year's 70th annual Film Festival.

And celebrating the fruits of her labour, Eva Green was in high spirits as she attended the film's photocall in Cannes on Saturday.

The actress, 36, cut a chic figure as she stepped out in wide-leg bandeau jumpsuit that she teamed with an incredibly sultry scarlet red lip.



Her stylish all-in-one was the perfect sartorial choice to flaunt her slender frame, thanks to its form-fitting bandeau bodice that then billowed out into a wide-leg trouser.

She added some height to her ensemble with a pair of cut-out stiletto heels and brightened up her otherwise dark-hued ensemble with a vibrant scarlet red lipstick across her lips.

Eva wore her raven-hued tresses down in a tousled curls that parted in the middle of her bonce and grazed her shoulders.



Opting for a dramatic make-up look, she teamed her fiery lip shade with a smokey-eye and blusher tinted cheeks.

She was joined by her co-star's for the photocall and put on a playful display with French actress Emmanuelle Seigner, 50.

The pair were caught puckering up to each other in front of the cameras, no doubt after forming a close bond on set, and Emmanuelle made sure to plant a kiss on Eva's cheek too.

Based On A True Story is a French-language thriller starring Seigner as a Parisian author who meets a mysterious woman, played by Green, at a book signing.

The film is directed by controversial director Roman Polanski, 83.



It's Polanski's first feature since 2013's Venus in Fur. Polanski had been set to preside over France's Cesar Awards in February, but withdrew after the protests of feminist groups.

A Los Angeles judge recently rejected Polanski's bid to end his long-running underage sex abuse case without the fugitive director appearing in court or being sentenced to more prison time.

The Rosemary's Baby helmer was forced to withdraw from the 'French Oscars', the Cesars, earlier this year after protests by feminists.

Polanski has been on the run for almost four decades for having unlawful sex with a teenager at film star Jack Nicholson's house in Los Angeles in 1977.

Polanski, 83, failed to negotiate a return to the US this month.



However, his victim Samantha Geimer - who wants the case dropped so she can get on with her life - lashed out Tuesday at prosecutors, claiming they were using the case to further their careers rather than resolve it.

'Celebrity cases should not be misused by those like yourselves for some limelight and career advancement,' Geimer wrote in a scathing letter to Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey and his deputy Michele Hanisee, who are handling Polanski's case.

The Franco-Polish director has been engaged in a decades-long cat-and-mouse game with US officials seeking his extradition, before a global audience split between continuing outrage and forgiveness for his acts.

Polanski admitted statutory rape after a number of more serious charges were dropped, and spent an initial 42 days in jail before being released.

But in 1978, convinced a judge was going to scrap his plea deal and send him to prison for decades, he fled to France and has been on the run ever since.

Eva, meanwhile, appeared in high spirits at the photocall as she posed up a storm for gathered photographers.

She flung out her arms while stopping for a snap next to a block that was emblazoned with '70 Festival International Du Film Cannes'.

And she appeared to delight photographers with her animated display as she commanded attention by making gestures with her arms, before leaning on the block with her head in hands.

The Casino Royale star would no doubt have enjoyed not having to watch herself back during the photo opportunity.



Speaking in an interview last year, Eva confessed that she doesn't like seeing herself up on the big screen.

She confessed to VICE: 'I am not good at watching myself,' before recalling on time she had left a screening early, adding: 'I stayed for the first ten minutes, but then I had to leave.'

'I just can't, it's too weird,' she added. Eva claimed it's because she becomes too critical of herself, as she said: 'It's too subjective. It's negative narcissism.

'It's not good. I wish I could [watch myself back]. Some actors can [watch themselves and] improve. I can't.'
