Robert Duvall Archives

Joaquin Phoenix, Eva Mendes, Robert Duvall, and director James Gray were on hand at the Cannes Film Festival on May 25, 2007 to premiere their film, We Own The Night.

The cast looked dashing in classic black and white attire, as is appropriate for the so-called “grandaddy of all film festivals”.

Phoenix and Mendes seemed quite playful on the red carpet, pushing each other and just generally horsing around and having a great time.

There are 30 more photos of the Joaquin, Eva, and the rest of the cast after the jump!

Joaquin Phoenix was in France on Friday, May 25, 2007 at the 60th International Cannes Film Festival to promote the film We Own The Night.

Phoenix , 32, was accompanied by the rest of the principle cast characters (sans Mark Wahlberg) of We Own The Night. By his side are Eva Mendes, Robert Duvall, and writer/director James Gray (The Yards).

We Own The Night is a drama set at the height of a bloody 1980s struggle between Gotham cops and a Russian mob that targeted law officers and their families. That led the NYPD to hang “We Own the Night” banners in precinct houses and step up their efforts. Wahlberg and Phoenix play siblings in a cop-dominated family, with Phoenix the black sheep who ends up managing a Russian mob-controlled nightclub.
