Sony Pictures Classics co-president
Tom Bernard (pictured far left) often jokes that party photos are never seen anywhere (although he typically says, except for indieWIRE). Well, as Sony Classics co-president Michael Barker (far right) set up this shot, Bernard told "Cache" director
Michael Haneke (standing next to him) that this shot wouldn't show up anywhere. We'll take that dare, here it is! Standing next to Haneke as he celebrates his closing night film at the festival is
Patrice Chereau, director of the fest film, "Gabrielle." Chatting with indieWIRE after the shot, Haneke said that next up for him is a staging of "
Don Giovanni" at the
Opera National de Paris in February in France.
