As promised, I just posted a slideshow of the pictures from the Cannes Film Festival. We were there for two premiers — a French movie by Julian Schnabel called Le Schphandre et le Papillon and Quinten Tarantino's movie Death Proof. Schnabel's movie brought out everyone who is anyone in the French cinemal. And, of course, Tarantino brought out everyone form Hollywood — Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Robert Rodriguez, Rose McGowen, Rosario Dawson, Mickey Rourke, Sharon Stone, Harvey Weinstein, and many more.

We actually got free passes to a premier of a movie about mennonites living in Mexico. It was directed by a spanish director, Carlos Reygadas. The movie is called Stellet Licht (Silent Light). It was very interesting. The acting was superb, and the story was compelling. I was surprised. One of the really cool things is that the movie was screened in the main theater, so we got to walk up the Red Carpet and into the Grand Palais. Way cool!! All in all, it was a very good day. Until next time…
