Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen made a striking fashion statement while attending the Vanity Fair x Prada party at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. De Niro looked dapper in a classic black suit, while Chen rocked an all-black look with a black shirt and a zipper jacket.

The presence of the actor at the festival was in connection with the premiere of his latest project Killers of the Flower Moon. The film received a standing ovation that lasted an impressive nine minutes. Earlier in the day, De Niro graced the red carpet alongside his collaborators, including Leonardo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese.

Based on David Grann’s book, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI, the movie delves into the serial killings of members of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma. The Osage Nation had become wealthy due to oil discovered on their land. The film was co-written by director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Eric Roth, with Leonardo DiCaprio serving as an executive producer. Alongside Robert De Niro and DiCaprio, the movie features a talented cast, including Brendan Fraser, Lily Gladstone, Tantoo Cardinal, and Jesse Plemons.

Killers of the Flower Moon will premiere exclusively in select theaters on October 6th, followed by a wider release on October 20th. After its theatrical run, the film will be available for global streaming on Apple TV+. This highly anticipated project marks another collaboration between Scorsese and Robert De Niro and the sixth collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio.

Dreamgirls

Jennifer Hudson won an Oscar for this performance as Effie White. But that is not the only reason to watch it. Anika Noni Rose and Beyoncé are in it too. Who would want to miss that? However, every aspect of this film is wonderful. From the sets to the cinematography and the acting abilities, everything is just wonderful. So, go watch Dreamgirls and enter the Motown era. 

Hairspray

This is one of those movies you would enjoy watching when you just want to relax and enjoy with your family or your friends. Based on the 2002 Broadway musical of the same name, this movie is a romantic comedy. There is a non-musical version starring Ricki Lake that highlights issues like racial discrimination and healthy body image. You can watch them both on Amazon Prime. 

Amelia

Who doesn’t know about this woman? If you don’t then you are probably living on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. She was a female pilot who disappeared during her flight. But there is more to her story. Watch the Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair’s movie to take a peek at how her life was in an era where women were barely allowed to do anything let alone fly a plane. 

Suffragette

The suffragette was the first time that the world got a taste for feminism. Women rose up to assert their opinions and importance in their society during the turn of the century in the United Kingdom. It is heart-warming to watch women stand up for themselves for being treated as second-rate citizens. Get a glimpse at the male-dominated world where women marched for their basic rights. 

Frida

Most people know her as the woman who made the unibrow famous and self-portraits. But little did you know that her life was much more than that. She had a very challenging life. Her married life was no cakewalk either. She was a woman who managed to shine despite the obstacles she faced. You might want to watch this movie. So many learning moments!
