Festival In Cannes
The scene behind the scenes.
Acclaimed filmmaker Henry Jaglom (Déjà Vu, Eating) and an all-star cast give movie lovers a reason to celebrate with this romantic comedy set at the world's most famous film festival.
Each year, thousands flock to the Cannes Film Festival, wildly chasing fame, fortune and each other against the picturesque background of the French Riviera. Director Jaglom captures all the magic and mayhem as he follows an intriguing cast of characters - a beautiful but aging movie icon (Anouk Aimee), her ex-husband (Maximilian Schell), an actress (Greta Scacchi) trying to sell her first script, a high-powered producer (Ron Silver), an up-and-coming ingenue (Jenny Gabrielle), and a fast-talking, fast-walking entrepreneur (Zack Norman).
How their lives and loves entangle make for an unforgettable journey through the very heart of the entertainment world.

Was Hoping for More - Doog
I had read reviews of this film, and had hoped for a biting behind-the-scenes look at the Cannes festival. I was entertained and found the film mildly amusing, but overall just not that great. It could be that I had hoped to be enlightened, or actually learn something about the wheeling and dealing that goes into getting films made - and seen, but the characters behaved in a fairly predictable way. The actress was a diva, the producers are slimy, the directors will make any concessions to get to direct their project... there are lots of documetaries out there and behind-the-scenes featurettes on lots of DVDs these days that cover this ground for real.
