The directorial debuts of Kristen Stewart and Scarlett Johansson have confirmed that each has its own audience (young, fashionable, and queer for the former; more classic, mature, and sentimental for the latter); and also that their creative universes are directly antagonistic. While Stewart presented her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water, a few days ago with a nervous and seductive “and now let’s watch the fucking movie,” Johansson, with her imposing presence on Tuesday — and in the same Debussy room at the Cannes Film Festival — reminded us that her work deals with “friendship, pain, and forgiveness,” themes that, she added, “I wish mattered more these days.”
