Léa Seydoux returns to Cannes with two starkly different films—The Unknown, a body‑swap sci‑fi by Arthur Harari, and Gentle Monster, a grounded social drama—where she probes questions of existence, identity, and transformation, while praising Denis Villeneuve as Bond’s director. She reveals she shot The Unknown just after giving birth, discusses why acting lets her exist and be seen, and reflects on AI’s impact on cinema and her love of cinema as a craft that keeps humanity at its core.
