Manohla and A.O. Scott are blogging Cannes (linked in the title above). They both found things to praise in
Last Days The Kurt Cobain piece by the aesthetically resurgent Gus Van Sant. And A.O. Scott joins Mike D'Angelo in getting Woody Allen fans hopes up super-high yet again. Everyone seems to think that
Matchpoint is a true return to form for the ancient previously genius filmmaker. I couldn't be more enthused. No seriously, you can't see me but I am doing cartwheels in between sentences. Later I even plan to consume alcohol!
In other Cannes news:
Here's a link to an ionarts blog entry on one of the greatest movie stars
ever and from
anywhere, Catherine Deneuve. And as a reminder, Mike D'Angelo is also
blogging the Gallic festival... though since I'm mentioning him right after the Deneuve-love, I should also remind that he's more of a Sylvie Testud kinda guy.
