Steve D Nothing in this film works one bit. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Audience Member La cinematografía es decente y la música es buena; sin embargo, la trama es muy aburrida y olvidable; aunque es interesante ver el Festival de Cannes entre bastidores. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Frances H Why would anyone want to be in such a cutthroat business, although probably every business is cutthroat in some way. But what I really hated here is the way all of the men in this film manipulated the women by making them think that they felt something for them, when in reality the men were just using them to get what they wanted at the moment and didn't really care anything about the women at all. The biggest game here is to fool another person into thinking that you are something that you're not. Everyone here is a user. I'm sure it is an accurate description of the actuality, but its not really great to watch, although the director here probably sugar coats the actuality and it is even more hypocritical when you're in the business itself for real. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/19 Full Review Audience Member favorite line: All those great people Cocteau and Sarte. They came here. Now, it's a zoo. If I ever made a film about Cannes I'd just go from cell phone to cell phone. Just have one shot on the croisette (Promenade de la Croisette), cell phone, cell phone, cell phone, cell phone, and then it goes (buzzing noises in different tones like a cell phone). Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Go to a film festival, don't go to a movie about going to a film festival. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A behind-the-scenes look at the madness that is Cannes, the film follows several people who are in town to make the deal that will keep their careers afloat. There is an actress, turned script writer (Gretchen Scachi) trying to sell her script. There is the aging actress (Anouk Aimee) who hasn't had a leading role in some time. There is her ex-husband (Maximilian Schell), a director who hasn't helmed a film in almost as long, in town with his Italian starlet girlfriend. And a big-budget Hollywood producer (Ron Silver) who has been tasked with signing the aging actress to a bit part in order to land the big names that will carry the film. In the process, old lovers reunite, players get played, and new lovers find one another. Given the insincerity of everyone's shtick, one has to wonder which of these pairings are destined to survive the week. The film is awash with familiar faces, and some not so familiar. It appears to have been shot during an actual week of the famous Cannes Film Festival, and derives a certain authenticity from that. A very well-done, entertaining piece that may not bring world peace, but it does manage to keep one chuckling for a little over an hour and a half.
