Their new film, directed by John Crowley, is one of the festival's most talked-about entries. The project details have been kept largely under wraps, but it is described as a 'funny, deeply moving and immersive' love story.

The pair seemed in high spirits throughout the event, sharing laughs and pausing for photographs, much to the delight of the enthusiastic crowd. Their appearance has successfully set high expectations for the film's premiere and its subsequent reception.
