Au revoir from Cannes…
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Another festival has come and gone in one exhausting flash, but…
I did get some great interviews. I did meet some fabulous people. I did get to see a lot of my friends from all over the world. I did restrain from partying too much.
All and all this year’s festival turned out to be really great. I actually couldn’t have asked for more.
This weekend featured a reprise of all the Un Certain Regard films and also all of the films in competition�so you can see something if you missed it earlier. For me, it’s a second viewing of “Broken Flowers,� and a first look at “Three Times,� by Hou Hsiao Hsien.
After today, it’s time for thousands of cinema fanatics, journalists, and filmmakers to pack up and head back to reality�hopefully avoiding the post-Cannes syndrome (AKA: Ninety to nothing.) The trick to avoiding this ailment is to stay busy and always learn from your mistakes at this festival to better prepare for the next. Voila.
As always it was a pleasure to cover Cannes, and I send my most sincere gratitude to those who have followed my Cannes Notebook, version 1.0, for ajc.com. As the French say, “a la prochaine,” or “until the next time.”
