Once upon a time, the Cannes Film Festival was better known for its big, big parties than, well, for its cinema. And they happened on the pristine beach by the Mediterranean Sea that overlooked the majestic hills in a distance. The parties also happened in swanky five-star restaurants, on boats out at sea. I still remember a gala bash that the Kingfisher “King of Good Times” gave on a remote island off Cannes, and we were all taken in boats. I shared one with actors Rakesh Roshan, son Hrithik Roshan and his then rumoured girlfriend, Mexican star, Barbara Mori (who acted alongside Hrithik in the 2010 Kites). The two “lovers” tried to look aloof and sat at a distance, pretending hard not to let journalists like me get a whiff of their romance. In my early years at Cannes in 1990s, many people came to the Croisette (Cannes’ beach front) to attend parties or gatecrash into them. A celebrated one used to be thrown by Variety. But then, one had to make a choice: you either attended … [Read more...] about No Party for Tom Cruise’s Top Gun Maverick at Cannes Film Festival

The 75th Cannes Film Festival kicked off on Tuesday in style and humour with the French Zombie movie, Final Cut, directed by Michel Hazanavicius, who had earlier given us the brilliant The Artist that won multiple Oscars. Starring Romain Duris and Berenice Bejo (who was part of The Artist), Final Cut, which is a loose remake of the Japanese horror-comedy, One Cut of the Dead, evoked continuous laughs in the 2000-strong Grand Theatre Lumiere. A film within a film, Final Cut opens with a 30-minute sequence in which a zombie movie shoot turns deadly. The work then takes us back to a month earlier when a second-rate French director, Rémi Bouillon (Duris), is approached by a Japanese producer (Yoshiko Takehara) to helm a horror flick in one uninterrupted take. But what did not quite seem like a joke was the maskless audience – who despite a strong recommendation to keep their masks on, given the rising Covid numbers in some parts of the world, just did not adhere to that. The … [Read more...] about Cannes Film Festival Begins With Witty French Zombie Film ‘Final Cut,’ Ukraine Prez Zelensky’s Emotional Address

Censorship is a huge issue in China, as it is in Iran and some other countries, and governments are becoming less and less tolerant to criticism. We have just seen this at Cannes, in the Directors’ Fortnight. This, along with the Critics’ Week, are two important sidebars that run with the main Cannes Film Festival. A “surprise” movie by Chinese helmer Liu Jian was pulled out at the eleventh hour. It was an animation, A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man. Unfortunately, this was to have been the only film from China in any Cannes section this year. Although it is being felt that the ongoing Covid pandemic in Beijing and Shanghai may have been the reason why the movie could not be included in the Director’s Fortnight, it is also possible that this is a mere excuse. For, Liu fell foul of Chinese censors in 2017 with his second animated feature, Have A Nice Day. It did premiere at Berlin, and was the first ever work of this kind to have played in Competition. But the work, a black … [Read more...] about Cannes 2022: Chinese Animated Movie Pulled Out of Directors’ Fortnight at the Eleventh Hour
