Kristen Stewart news have always been controversial and intriguing. Definitely, the turnout of her performance in the Olivier Assayas' "Clouds of Sils Maria" has piqued the curiosity and interest of movie critics and viewers alike.

In the film that premiered during the Cannes Film Festival, Stewart portrayed the role of an assistant to an international veteran actress named Maria Enders. Maria is played by Juliette Binoche. The film highlighted the interplay between actresses and age, and is seen as a showcase of both reality and fiction for the two actresses.

Binoche shared, "For Kirsten to play the assistant was hilarious. Those kinds of details she knows more than I do, in a way, because she's really in a world of paparazzi and all that. We had a lot of discussions about that." Truthfully, Kristen Stewart news have always served as headlines.

The Cannes has always been the outlet for many actors and actresses to unleash their artistic ambitions. The festival has been the venue for these performers to showcase a more artistically mature and upgraded versions of themselves. Two years ago, Stewart also joined the festival with the Jack Kerouac adaptation of "On the Road". Meanwhile, Stewart's Twilight partner, Robert Pattinson, also graced Cannes for "The Rover" by David Michod and "Maps to the Stars" by David Cronenberg.

This year's Cannes seemed to be dominated by portraits of actresses. Nicole Kidman played Grace Kelly in "Grace of Monaco", a melodramatic movie narrating Grace's entry into the Monaco royalty. Julianne Moore also stars in the Hollywood satire, "Maps to the Stars", as a desperate aging actress.

"Clouds of Sils Maria" highlights Maria's reconciliation between herself and time. Since Maria lives remotely, one of the highlights of Kristen's role is the cellphone-tethering setup.

Lastly, this Kirsten Stewart news update would not be complete without mentioning her late arrival at the festival.
