Quentin Tarantino, 62, packs on the PDA with wife Daniella Pick, 41, as they make loved-up appearance at Cannes Film Festival

Quentin Tarantino packed on the PDA with his glamorous wife Daniella Pick as they attended the glitzy premiere of Leave One Day on the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.

The acclaimed director, 62, who tied the knot with Daniella in 2018, cosied up to his stunning spouse as they attended the premiere, which also acted at the opening ceremony for this year’s festival.

Quentin, who recently announced he will only be making one more film, will be this year’s guest of honour and front a special tribute to the late western film director George Sherman. 

The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood frontman, who won the Palme d’Or in 1994 for Pulp Fiction, will present 1949’s Le Mustang Noir and 1950’s Sur le territoire des Comanches before taking part in a discussion with Elvis Mitchell.

Daniella stunned in an elegant silver sequinned gown as she posed on the red carpet with her husband. 

The couple, who met when he was promoting 2009’a Inglourious Basterds in Israel, married in 2018.

They share a son, Leo, five, and a two-year-old daughter, whose name has not yet been revealed. 

In January, Quentin flew from Israel to Utah to speak at Sundance Film Festival.

The renowned filmmaker joined film critic Elvis Mitchell in a conversation about his career, sharing when he plans to start his next movie.

When Mitchell asked the Reservoir Dogs director why he’s turned his focus to writing over the last several years, Tarantino pointed to fatherhood.

‘I’m in no hurry to actually jump into production,’ he answered. ‘I’ve been doing that for 30 years. Next month my son turns five, and I have a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. 

‘When I’m in America, I’m writing. When I’m in Israel I’m an abba, which is Hebrew for father.’ 

In conversation with Mitchell, he added that ‘the idea of jumping on a voyage when they’re too young to understand it is not enticing to me,’ per an account from Variety.

He elaborated: ‘I kind of want to not do whatever movie I end up doing until my son is at least 6. That way he’ll know what’s going on, he’ll be there, and it will be a memory for the rest of his life.’

And he gushed about his daughter, ‘[She] is already such a genius, she’ll just get it.’ 

This year’s Cannes Film Festival is taking place in the wake of Trump´s vow to enact tariffs on international films.

Cannes, where filmmakers, sales agents and journalists gather from around the world, is the Olympics of the big screen, with its own golden prize, the Palme d´Or, to give out at the end. 

Filmmakers come from nearly every corner of the globe to showcase their films while dealmakers work through the night to sell finished films or packaged productions to various territories.

‘You release a film into that Colosseum-like situation,’ says Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who´s returning to Cannes with ‘The Secret Agent, a thriller set during Brazil´s dictatorship. 

‘You´ve got to really prepare for the whole experience because it´s quite intense – not very far from the feeling of approaching a roller coaster as you go up the steps at the Palais.’

Trump sent shock waves through Hollywood and the international film community when he announced on May 4 that all movies “produced in Foreign Lands” will face 100% tariffs.

The White House has said no final decisions have been made. Options being explored include federal incentives for U.S.-based productions, rather than tariffs. But the announcement was a reminder of how international tensions can destabilize even the oldest cultural insтιтutions.

The Cannes Film Festival originally emerged in the World War II years, when the rise of fascism in Italy led to the founding of an alternative to the then-government controlled Venice Film Festival. 

In the time since, Cannes´ resolute commitment to cinema has made it a beacon to filmmakers. Countless directors have come to make their name.

This year is no different, though some of the first-time filmmakers at Cannes are already particularly well-known. Kristen Stewart (The Chronology of Water), Scarlett Johansson (Eleanor the Great) and Harris Dickinson (Urchin) will all be unveiling their feature directorial debuts in Cannes´ Un Certain Regard sidebar section.

Many Cannes veterans will be back, too, including Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning), Robert De Niro – who´s to receive an honorary Palme d´Or 49 years after Taxi Driver premiered in Cannes – and Quentin Tarantino, to pay tribute to low-budget Western director George Sherman.

The much-anticipated eighth and final instalment of Mission Impossible is one of the earlier premieres on this year’s Cannes calendar, with its glitzy red carpet taking place on Wednesday, May 14. 

Meanwhile Scarlett’s directorial debut Eleanor The Great, will be unveiled on May 20.

However, in the wake of his legal battle with former co-star Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni is not expected to attend. 

Over recent years the star-studded extravaganza has arguably won more attention for the outfits worn by its celebrity guests than the roster of feature films being screened on the Croisette. 

But new nudity rules, devised for ‘the sake of decency,’ have been implemented at this year’s festival.  

According to organisers, the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for ‘naked dresses’ – namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal – on the red carpet.

‘For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,’ states a Cannes festival document.

‘The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.’
