Kevin Spacey's subtle return to Cannes coincides with the Better World Fund's gala dinner where he receives a lifetime achievement award. This marks Spacey's first visit since his career was halted by numerous sexual assault allegations. The event, not officially part of the Cannes festival, is characterized by a lack of celebrity attendees and a soft relaunch for Spacey. Overall, mixed feelings surface among attendees regarding his presence, notably from filmmaker Mira Nair, who expresses satisfaction at being part of the event despite her learning of Spacey's attendance on short notice.
Kevin Spacey's Cannes comeback is a low-key affair; he receives a lifetime achievement award after a career stalled by sexual assault allegations from over 30 men.
The event is a so-called soft relaunch for Spacey, marking his return to Cannes since 2016, before the #MeToo movement began.
Ted Turner's Better World Fund gala dinner, which honors Spacey, is not officially part of the Cannes film festival but happens at the Carlton, a key venue.
Upon Spacey's arrival, photographers rushed forward, causing a chaotic scene as tables were upset and glasses smashed.
