Thirty-five years after its world premiere in Cannes on May 20, 1991, Thelma & Louise is once again taking center stage at the Festival: the 79th Cannes Film Festival has chosen a black-and-white behind-the-scenes photo by Roland Neveu for its official poster, featuring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon posing on the legendary 1966 Ford Thunderbird.
And naturally, this image makes you want to revisit the final sequence—that great leap that remains one of the most unforgettable moments in modern road movies—and also reminds us that the action at the heart of a film remains a vehicle for emotion of rare power.
At Ciné Cascade, we continue to cherish this Ridley Scott classic, released in 1991 and now a cult favorite, for its freedom, its direction, and the undiminished power of its finale.
