No other female star has distanced herself as much, through her professional choices, from the image of the teenage actress who rises to fame with the most popular teen romance of her time as Kristen Stewart. In her directorial debut, an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's autobiographical novel of the same name, Stewart also avoids falling into the most worn-out model of independent cinema. Unexpectedly, she adopts aesthetic strategies more typical of the experimental realm, such as hyper-fragmentation, blurring, and non-linear structures, which allow her to break away from two commonplaces of cinematic mise-en-scène.

At only thirty-five years old Kristen Stewart He's been many things: teen idol mainstream, a rebellious indie icon adored by cinephiles, an LGBTI icon of contemporary cinema... But starting with this Cannes Film Festival, we must add a new category: a director with talent, sensitivity, and daring. The chronology of water, her directorial debut, was screened Friday night in the parallel section Una Certa Mirada. "Let's get to the point and watch the damn movie!" exclaimed Stewart to open the screening. The anxiety to share it was natural. Stewart has been preparing the film since 2017, when she read Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir about her childhood marked by sexual and psychological abuse from a tyrannical father, from which she escaped by falling into a self-destructive spiral of substance abuse, desperate sex, and toxic relationships.

Actress Kristen Stewart and screenwriter Dylan Meyer have married. According to reports TMZ, the couple held an "intimate ceremony" at the courthouse this Sunday and then celebrated at the Mexican restaurant Casita del Campo in Los Angeles. The American media outlet, which specializes in celebrity gossip, has managed to capture images of some moments from the wedding, in which Stewart and Meyer are seen hugging, putting on their rings, and kissing. The brides chose two open-plan dresses for the occasion. Stewart wore a light gray floral suit and her hair loose, and Meyer opted for a sheer white tulle gown with her hair tied back in a high ponytail. Among those attending the ceremony was actress and model Ashley Benson with her husband, Brandon Davis.
