When the Cheshire emerges...

Last Cannes blog.

Interview with Sam Holst of short film Meathead.

Last two interviews up soon :D

Written a slate of stuff later on in the festival (philosophy: view first, then write). As follows:

- World Premiere of 18 Days (Tamantashar Yom)

- Cinefondation (student film-maker short selection) winners

- Review of Hanezu no tsuki (in Competition)

- Review of Melancholia (in Competition)

and also a piece on how the Competition and Un Certain Regard categories are no longer distinct.

Read on bitches.

A big two-day stretch for Wednesday and Thursday. Lots of films and interviews seen/done, not much work achieved. That's what today (Friday) is for. But see the review of Where Do We Go Now? from Un Certain Regard as well... peace out!

So it continues... it's late so I'm not elaborating. Link here. Cheers yo ;D

I had the chance to see the latest restoration of Georges Melies' A Trip to the Moon (1902), in the colour print thought lost for 90 years. Check out at Cut Print Review what I thought of it...

I was an invitee to the screening of Jean-Paul Rappeneau's Le Sauvage, which has been recently restored. Catherine Deneuve was there as well as Rappeneau and Costa-Gavras - I've seen a few of her films lately, she's so amazing. And beautifully gracious in real life! Of course, first published on Cut Print Review...

SO. I'm doing a daily blog from the world's biggest film festival. It's amazing but crazy and overwhelming all at the same time. I'm hoping you'll get some sort of insight from it and see how it is from inside the Palais doors. Just follow the link to where it's published on Cut Print Review!
