On the occasion of the 60th Cannes International Film Festival, 6 famous kisses were drawn on 200 m2. They retrace 60 years of passion, featuring the great figures of French and world cinema from Gone with the Wind to Titanic, passing by Les enchaînés.
Michèle Morgan and Jean Gabin in Le quai des Brumes by Marcel Carné in 1938 made their kiss as famous as the following line: “You have beautiful eyes, you know…”
Vivien Leigh and Clark Gabel in Gone with the Wind by Victor Fleming in 1939 embody the first kissing scene of a feature film in color cinema.
Ingrid Bergman and Gary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock's Les enchaînés in 1946 cannot kiss each other for more than 3 seconds to respect the censorship of the time: the two characters alternate kisses, dialogues and sighs, becoming an unforgettable scene.
Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart in Howard Hawks' 1945 Port of Anguish met on set and became one of Hollywood's most glamorous couples.
Kate Winstley and Leonardo di Caprio in James Cameron's Titanic in 1997 are accompanied by a setting sun, a camera that twirls around them, all to music that has become essential.
Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni in La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini in 1960 where the actress cools off in the Trevi Fountain in Rome before her partner joins her for a fiery kiss, one of the most famous in cinema.
These monumental works painted on the walls of Cannes are dedicated to the 7th art because of the great love story between Cannes and cinema. You can also find on Wijoy other frescoes scattered around the City of Cannes.
