At the Cannes Film Festival on May 17, filmmaker James Gray received a heartfelt 10-minute standing ovation for his latest film, 'Paper Tiger', at the Grand Theatre Lumiere. The applause was led by notable figures such as Cate Blanchett and Julianne Moore, highlighting the film's significant reception. Gray, visibly emotional, thanked the audience for their support, emphasizing the vital role of cinema during these times. He humorously noted the changes in his appearance, stating, “There’s much more gray now in the beard, not just the name.” 'Paper Tiger' stars Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver, and Miles Teller, and tells the story of two brothers who become ensnared in a dangerous Russian mafia plot while chasing the American Dream. Although Johansson was absent from the premiere, both Driver and Teller were present. This film marks Gray's sixth appearance at Cannes, where he has previously showcased works like 'The Immigrant' and 'Armageddon Time'. Despite his critical acclaim, Gray has yet to win a prize at the festival.
