the 5 women in the jury (from left to right): Leila Hatami (Iranian actress), Carole Bouquet (French actress), Jeon Do yeon, Jane Campion (New Zealand director, producer and screenwritter), Sophia Coppola (American director).

bonus: Song Hye Kyo for the Chinese film "The crossing" by John Woo.

Korean film "A Girl at my Door", by July Jung, with Bae Doo Na and Kim Sae Ron. A journalist said it's the kind a film where you don't get bored, even for one second.

ps: it's my first post so if there's something wrong, tell me. I really liked that the jury didn't wear the same kind of clothes, you can see each of them have different styles.

sophia coppola is so chic. someday, i'm going to wear pajamas out in public and look as chic as her.

i haven't been keeping up with cannes film festival, but is it typical of them to have this much women in the jury?

actually it's the first time since 2009. but considering the fact that the jury president, Jane Campion, is a women, it's like half men/half women. they also said that only one woman director is nominated this year...

ah, thanks! i hope they continue adding more women in the jury and more female directors get nominated too.

No it's not typical. Usually there is one or two women to make it look ok. I hope they will keep it that way, women need more recognition in this business !

thanks! i hope they keep it that way too.

I hope so ! But things are moving really slowly in our society. We have a government with as much male as female ministers now (and for two years already) but I don't know if it will really help moving forward. Sometimes it seems like only law-inforced quotas are making things change here...
As for cinema, there are a lot of actresses and female directors recognized, but it's still a make-dominated industry. It would be a great symbol that Cannes keeps many female professionnals in the jury as long as there are discriminations based on gender!

She's so flawless. The entire female jury is amazing (except for Sofia).
