Par Marie-Thérèse DELBOULBES
VENISE (Italie), 7 sept (AFP) - Avec l'un des maîtres de la Nouvelle Vague,
Eric Rohmer, la coqueluche des groupies Johnny Depp et la grande dame du
cinéma français Jeanne Moreau, la 58ème Mostra de Venise a fermé vendredi la
chasse au Lion, le prestigieux symbole de la Cité des Doges qui sera décerné
samedi par le jury présidé par Nanni Moretti.

En direct des planches de Deauville, Johnny Depp, feutre, moustache et
pantalon de camouflage, est venu présenter à Venise "From Hell" des frères
jumeaux Albert et Allen Hughes (29 ans), avec la blonde Heather Graham. Le
compagnon de la chanteuse et actrice française Vanessa Paradis, qui l'a
accompagné dans la Cité des Doges avec leur fille Lili Rose, y incarne un
inspecteur opiomane qui traque Jack l'Eventreur dans l'enfer londonien et
victorien, recréé dans les studios praguois.

Commentaires d une fan de Johnny depp qui a assisté au festival de Venise  : Aries

Vanessa: We have always said: What a lucky woman she is. Now, I say: What a lucky man Johnny is. Her beauty is amazing. That kind of beauty that makes you feel better. The perfection of her face, which is completely distorted by the pictures, is spectacular. But this is the minor aspect. She is a powerful woman. As soon as you look at her, you would like to know her better, to talk to her. Her intelligence is something that you can perceive just by looking at her. I was stunned! She was there in all her beauty and elegance just to support him. That was his night, and she didn't care to appear, to be photographed, she was there only to help him. I almost had the impression that she directed him, there was an amazing contrast between his anxiety and her utmost composure. The class of that woman is not something you can describe. I was so happy for Johnny! And I hope, really hope, that she will be patient forever and look after our boy, because she's really the kind of woman he needs. The love that surrounds that stunning couple radiates like the sun on a summer day!
