Jessica did an interview yesterday to USA Today, in which they talked about the bizarre event from Friday night, in which an Ukrainian prankster journalist dove under America Ferrera’s gown on the red carpet.

Chastain was not fazed as she joined her co-stars for the The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them, which is part of the official Cannes festival.

“I could fit five Ukrainian journalists in my dress,” Chastain told USA TODAY before taking to the red carpet.

Chastain has a special place in her heart for the glamorous Cannes carpet. She considers her first trip up the famous stairs three years ago for The Tree of Life her first true carpet experience.

“It was really scary at first, but now I love it,” said Chastain. “It feels like a second home to me, this festival.”

She took special care to choose her blue Versace gown to reflect the Cannes spirit. “It was inspired by dresses of the 1950s but made with a modern edge,” she said.

Digital scans of current Cannes Wrap issue can now be found in the gallery. On it, Jessica is talking about The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, that will premiere in Cannes tomorrow.

With a boost from Chastain’s newfound clout, Benson got enough money to shoot both movies on a tight 40-day schedule, filming scenes from one character’s perspective and then the other’s. It presented a daunting acting challenge: In one version of the story Chastain was playing her character, but in the other she was playing the McAvoy character’s impression of her, which meant that crucial details—dialogue, movement, even clothing—were different.
“It’s super-weird,” Chastain said. “I approached it like it was two different women. They’re both Eleanor, but they’re two different women. Her is ‘This is Eleanor, this is my truth, this is everything I have.’ And Him is Connor’s perception of Eleanor, which is very different.” (The Them version playing at Cannes mixes both perspectives to focus on the relationship.)

(…) “It’s a broader experience, and it gives the audience more choice,” said Benson. “But I do want to emphasize that the original two films exist exactly as they are.”
