"Of course, Cannes is about business. Cinema itself is an unstable and seductive marriage of art and commerce, aesthetics and entrepreneurialism. Cannes and Hollywood, though they each claim to represent different outlooks – the former positions itself against the crass globalism of the latter, while the latter derides the elitism of the former – need each other: Hollywood gives Cannes star power and global reach; Cannes gives Hollywood class and an intellectual fillip.
No serious filmmaker would deny its power.
Not Quentin Tarantino, whose Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or in 1994. 
For myself, I love Cannes because it's a place where Wong Kar-Wai is bigger than Steven Spielberg."

I also love Cannes because tickets for independent movies are more accessible than most other festivals.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many reasons to love Cannes, it's not too far from my catalonian province, I've always wanted to attend their festival.
