Despite some of the cast members being too young to attend the screening, their performances left an indelible mark on the audience.
Written and directed by Arnold, 'Bird' delves into the raw, social realist milieu reminiscent of her previous Cannes prize-winning films, 'Red Road' and 'Fish Tank.'
Keoghan delivers a poignant portrayal of Bug, a tattooed young father grappling with the challenges of parenthood, alongside Nykiya Adams as his vulnerable daughter, Bailey, and Rogowski as the enigmatic Bird, reported Variety.
Arnold's Cannes legacy is solidified by her numerous accolades, including three jury prizes and a stint as a festival jury member. Her documentary 'Cow' also premiered to acclaim in 2021.
Keoghan, fresh from his recent success in 'Saltburn,' continues to make waves in the industry, with previous Cannes appearances in 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer.'
His stellar performance in 'The Banshees of Inisherin' earned him an Oscar nomination.
'Saltburn,' where he portrayed the cunning Oliver Quick, garnered both BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. (ANI)
