Big thanks to Cedric!
What do you get when you mix Carla Bruni, Woody Allen and the Cannes Film Fest? ¬†Complete and utter madness. ¬†The news has just broken that Woody Allen will indeed open the Cannes Film Fest with Midnight in Paris, starring Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Michael Sheen, Owen Wilson and Kathy Bates. ¬†This will be the Woodman’s 10th film at the fest.
I have to say that after the soul-crushing experience that Oscars 2010 has been, I so look forward to Cannes where the thing really is the movie.  Daring, visionary films shown many times a day, every day.  There is nothing quite like Cannes.  Both Ryan and I hope to attend the fest this year.
