IN A dress that resembled a ballerina costume from her Black Swan days, Natalie Portman has dazzled onlookers on the red carpet at a photocall for her film A Tale of Love and Darkness in Cannes.
In a sheer Rodarte dress and Dior shoes, the 33-year-old somehow managed to flash her underwear but still look classy amidst a sea of photographers.

Flanked by Israeli actors Amir Tessler and Gilad Kahana, it was really only fitting that Portman wowed the crowd for the presentation of A Tale of Love and Darkness, which is her directorial debut.

A Tale of Love and Darkness is an adaptation of Isralie writer Amos Oz’s 2002 memoir of the same name, and follows his story of growing up in Israel and the way life changed for he and his family after World War Two.
The film, which has so far had mixed reviews, is done entirely in Hebrew, and Portman plays Oz’s mother, Fania.

The Guardian were one publication full of praise, reporting that Portman, who was born in Israel, “has done an impressive job, easily the equal of Angelina Jolie ... Portman has made a film with something serious and interesting to say about Israel, a nuanced portrait of the place that demonstrates a commitment to, and connection with, her home country.
“This is an assured, heartfelt debut.â€

Vanity Fair wrote that while Portman “earns significant respect for making this movie her way,†but that “while there’s no doubt her heart and soul went into this project, we’re left wondering how to translate the little shruggie emoticon into Hebrew.†Ouch.
