Acclaimed actress Lucy Liu is in Cannes in support of The Pirate Queen: No Safe Waters, a “cinematic immersive experience” that Liu produced along with Eloise Singer. Liu also narrates the film, which premieres as part of the fest’s Immersive Competition.
Here, she answers three of The Hollywood Reporter‘s most pressing questions around the project.
Do you remember your first time in Cannes?
My first experience at Cannes was for Kung Fu Panda, and I remember feeling completely swept up by it. Until then, I had never been in a space so intensely devoted to artistic expression on that level. What struck me most was how intimate it could still feel despite the scale of the festival — walking through it, hearing different languages, encountering people from entirely different backgrounds, and feeling this incredible connection through a shared love of storytelling.
What brings you, or your voice, to the Croisette this year?
