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.
