Cannes Film Festival revealed the poster for its 75th edition, featuring an iconic scene from Peter Weir’s 1998 film “The Truman Show” starring Jim Carrey.
The poster features Truman Burbank, played by Carrey, touching clouds on the top of a staircase.
Written by Andrew Niccol and helmed by Peter Weir, the 1998 American psychological film revolves around an insurance salesman who is unwittingly the star of a reality TV show.
The supporting cast includes Laura Linney, Ed Harris, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone, Holland Taylor, Paul Giamatti, and Brian Delate.
“Peter Weir and Andrew Niccol’s The Truman Show (1998) is a modern reflection of Plato’s cave and the decisive scene urges viewers to not only experience the border between reality and its representation but to ponder the power of fiction, between manipulation and catharsis,” the festival said in a statement. “Just as Truman escapes falsehood as he rises, the festival, with its famous ascending red carpet, offers viewers the truth of the artists when they enter the theater.”
