Cannes Review: Killing Them Softly
The first few scenes of Andrew Dominik’s masterful Killing Them Softly, you think you are in the presence of two idiots who have no idea what they’re doing. They’re being ordered to pull off a robbery. They’re the kind of guys who never figured out how stupid they were and those kind of guys don’t [...]

The rain continued steadily through most of the day yesterday, not a violent rain but an omnipresent one. The vendors in Cannes have to be feeling this — the usual bounty of tourists flocking into their stores and shops shows that no one really likes to shop in the rain. Or maybe I’m just a [...]

Just in time for the footage to be shown here in Cannes (which I am attending after all, turns out I was always invited. “You’ve always been the caretaker here”) via movies.com — looks great:

Alain Resnais’ You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet is a tribute to the director’s love of theater. More than that, it puts together his notion that film and theater are one in the same. He plays with structure and narrative here much the way he always has and that might be the film’s biggest problem. On [...]

“…the rain, it washes memories off the sidewalk of life.” A bona fide rainstorm blew through Cannes last night. Wind, cold, rain — nothing like the last two years I’ve attended, where the sun glitters on the Mediterranean and families loll on sand all day long. Cannes is so lovely, even in the rain, but [...]

Asides 
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.
