The G20 protests have been getting frisky. Tear gas. Acoustic crowd control gadgets. Kids taking the morning off from their jobs at Abercrombie & Fitch to throw on skimasks and scream about the injustices of capitalism or whatever. Oh, and protesters getting hauled into cars by dudes in military fatigues. Outrageous violation of civil rights or phony MoveOn.org stunt?
It’s been another great year at Cannes. When the sun finally came out it was like waking up from a dream. There are many things I will miss but I’m glad to be getting back home. Unfortunately I won’t be seeing David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, Walter Salles’ On the Road, Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy or Jeff Nichols’ Mud. You don’t plan your trip around the screening schedule, but I don’t know that I could have done it differently anyway. C’est la vie.
Until next time, here are a few departing shots.
