The Begum, Jean Cocteau. Cannes Film Festival 1954.
During the 1954 Cannes Film Festival, Jean Cocteau and the Begum attend an elegant gala dinner. Cocteau, in a dark suit and bow tie, leans forward in conversation at a formally set table. Beside him, the Begum, wearing a pearl necklace, smiles with her chin resting on her hand. A silver ice bucket holding a bottle of champagne sits between them, while a spectacular fireworks display illuminates the night sky, visible through the grand ballroom's arched windows.
