\n\tCannes regular Javier Bardem was the toast of the Palais on Saturday as \u201cThe Beloved\u201d had its world premiere in competition and received a 7-minute ovation. <\/p>\n

\n\tA beaming Bardem went up and down the line of the film\u2019s cast, hugging each one. He also waved enthusiastically to the crowds up in the balcony. At one point, he lovingly gave festival director Thierry Fremaux a bear hug.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom Rodrigo Sorogoyen \u2014\u00a0an Oscar nominee for his short film \u201cMother\u201d \u2014\u00a0\u201cThe Beloved\u201d sees Bardem play a legendary director who offers his estranged daughter (Victoria Luengo) a role in his latest film under the pretext of helping her with her stalled acting career. But while working together on set brings them closer together than they have been for years, it also reopens old wounds.<\/p>\n

\n\tMelina Matthews, Marina Fo\u00efs and Malena Villa also star in the film, which shot last year in Fuerteventura, with Bardem and Luengo shooting their first scenes without having met previously as a way of conveying the context of two people who hadn\u2019t been in touch for so long. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Beloved\u201d marks the sixth film Bardem has brought to Cannes and the fourth in competition after Asghar Farhadi\u2019s \u201cEverybody Knows,\u201d Sean Penn\u2019s \u201cThe Last Face,\u201d and Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu\u2019s \u201cBiutiful,\u201d which won him the best actor Palme in 2010. Other features he\u2019s starred in at the festival include Woody Allen\u2019s \u201cVicky Christina Barcelona\u201d and the Coen Brothers\u2019 \u201cNo Country for Old Men,\u201d which premiered at the festival two years after Bardem served on the jury under Emir Kusturica. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking in a recent Variety<\/em> cover story, Bardem claimed that he had been in \u201cmany realities\u201d of the festival.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve been a juror. I\u2019ve been recognized with this amazing award, a recognition that, for me, is one of the most important in the world. At the same time, I\u2019ve been with movies that were killed and got stones thrown at,\u201d he said, referring to 2016 title \u2018The Last Face\u2019 about humanitarians that was widely panned. <\/p>\n
