Andy Garcia’s Diamond Shines at Cannes With 7-Minute Ovation
Andy Garcia’s neo-noir Diamond premiered out of competition at Cannes to a seven-minute standing ovation. Garcia directed, co-scored, and assembled a starry LA-set noir led by Vicky Krieps and Rosemarie DeWitt, with familiar names like Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, Brendan Fraser and Demián Bichir among the cast. Described as a love letter to Los Angeles and classic noir, the nearly 15-year-in-the-making project marks Garcia’s return behind the camera and a personal, emotional journey he shared on stage.
