Jean Cocteau, the Begum and Françoise Arnoul. Cannes Film Festival, battle of flowers 1954.
In the bright sunlight of the 1954 Cannes Film Festival, the Begum joyfully tosses a handful of flowers during the traditional Battle of Flowers. Elegantly dressed in sunglasses and white gloves, she is flanked by Jean Cocteau, who smiles while holding wicker baskets of blossoms, and actress Françoise Arnoul. The festive action is captured in a dynamic blur, with a young girl in the foreground offering a quiet counterpoint to the exuberant scene.
