Uma Thurman On Making Paul Schrader’s Cannes Film ‘Oh, Canada’: “I Had A Strong Feeling This Was Very Personal To Him”
deadline.comUma Thurman has been to Cannes more times than she can remember, either to pledge support for the glamorous annual charity event amfAR or with films as diverse as the genteel Merchant-Ivory period film The Golden Bowl (2000) and Quentin Tarantino’s ultraviolent Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), in which she reprised her badass role as The Bride.
