Festival in Cannes

Acclaimed filmmaker Henry Jaglom (Deja Vu, Eating) and an all-star cast give movie lovers a reason to celebrate with this romantic comedy set at the world's most famous film festival. Each year, thousands flock to Cannes Film Festival, wildly chasing fame, fortune and each other against the picturesque background of the French Riviera. Director Jaglom captures all the magic and mayhem as he follows an intriguing cast of characters - a beautiful but aging movie icon (Anouk Aimee), her ex-husband (Maximilian Schell), an actress (Greta Scacchi) trying to sell her first script, a high-powered producer (Ron Silver), an up-and-coming ingenue (Jenny Gabrielle), and a fast-talking, fast-walking entrepreneur (Zack Norman). How their lives and loves entangle make for an unforgettable journey through the very heart of the entertainment world.

  • "Not a documentary, but just as 'real' in the hands of veteran independent director Henry Jaglom, who fashions a delightfully candid comedy that 'eavesdrops' on the wary tango between Art and Commerce on the Croisette of the Cannes Film Festival. Shot entirely on location with the co-operation of the famous festival, this is charming and breezy yet dramatically robust, with tension hinged upon the tantalising prospect of 'making the deal' for the various players, including a wannabe director, a self-styled deal-broker, and a Hollywood big-shot. Fostering his trademark naturalism with an expert cast, the director precisely captures the fragile and frustrating business of mounting a film project with generous wisdom and a refreshing lack of cynicism, and tinged in the balmy romantic air of the French Rivera."
  • "The story revolves around Alice Palmer (Greta Scacchi) a well known actress who has decided to direct her first film of her own script. She is approached by a fan, Kaz Naiman (Zach Norman). She finds out after talking to him that he produces movies and before she knows it, he's out collecting money for her film, 3 million dollars to be exact. But, here's the hitch, the only way they can get the 3 million dollars is if they can get Millie Marquand (Anouk Aimee) to star in the film, But non of this will be easy because a big shot Hollywood producer, Rick Yorkin (Ron Silver) wants to give her a role in a new Tom Hanks film."

  • ""Cannes, 1999. Alice, an actress, wants to direct an indie picture. Kaz, a talkative (and maybe bogus) deal maker, promises $3 million if she'll use Millie, an aging French star. But, Rick, a big producer, needs Millie for a small part in a fall movie or he loses his star, Tom Hanks. Is Kaz for real? Can Rick sweet-talk Alice and sabotage Kaz to keep Millie from taking that deal? Millie consults with Victor, her ex, about which picture to make, Rick needs money, an ingenue named Blue is discovered, Kaz hits on Victor's new love, and Rick's factotum connects with Blue. Knives go in various backs. Wheels spin. Which deals--and pairings--will be consummated?"--Internet movie database, February 20, 2004."@en
