The Perils of Cannes
THE PERILS OF CANNES Photo: Matt Sayles / Associated Press |
| The Cannes Film Festival opened yesterday; the opening film was Fernando Mereilles' Bindness. which has so far received mixed reviews. (Mereilles has previously done the excellent City of God, The City of Man and The Constant Gardener). The big talkie is of course the out-of-competition screening of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on Sunday May 18 -- with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and key members of the cast present. Cannes bears witness to massive Skull marketing: the entrance of the venerable Carlton Hotel has been redone with a mockup South American temple entrance (above). Indy, Mutt & Spalko are everywhere on every ad space imaginable. Variety runs an interesting article today on the perils of premiering a movie in Cannes. Using the dismal reception of The Da Vinci Code as an example, Variety discusses the pros and cons -- and has a clever analysis of the real risks involved in taking on a French adventure. Let us add that we also believe that the moviemakers know exactly what they're doing; we also believe that they -- like their fictional hero -- will be the ones riding off victoriously into the sunset: Even if slaughtered in the Palais, Skull presently displays an absolutely fenomenal box office tracking. |

Click below to see the master at work -- and a very funny glimpse of a soaked Harrison Ford taking direction -- the actor and his fedora looking almost as funnily miserable as they did in the Raiders intro sequence river swim 27 years ago.
