Bardem stuns in 'The Beloved'

Javier Bardem has delivered a powerhouse performance in 'The Beloved,' which premiered to a seven-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival.

Directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, the psychological drama features Bardem as a volatile filmmaker attempting to reconcile with his estranged daughter.

During a festival press conference, the Oscar-winning actor made headlines by condemning the 'toxic masculinity' of world leaders including Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.

The film is already being hailed as a major contender for the Palme d'Or.
