Javier Bardem’s new film, *The Beloved* (*El Ser Querido*), receives a warm response at its Cannes premiere. Both outlets report that the movie screens in competition at the festival’s Cannes Palace and that the audience applauds the film for about seven minutes during the screening’s end.

Afterward, Bardem joins the cast and director for the moment, with both accounts describing him hugging castmates and director Rodrigo Sorogoyen. The coverage also notes that Bardem addresses the atmosphere around the hall, moving along the line of the film’s team and waving to viewers and crowds, including those seated in the balcony.

The sources agree on the central points: the film’s world premiere at Cannes, the 7-minute ovation at the Grand Théâtre Lumière, and Bardem’s visible participation in the post-screening celebration. Neither source disputes these details or adds contrasting claims about the reaction.
