Rocketman, Review: Messed-up multi-millionaire music-maestro
Film-makers now need to ask themselves whether it makes good sense to churn out bio-pics with regular frequency. Does the genre hold enough promise to deliver quality cinema? In recent times, many of them are guilty of picking eminent personalities from films and music, with common traits, like troubled childhood, inability to handle fame and fortune, sexual mania or alternative sexual behaviour, and drug abuse.

If only the films in Competition and those films in other sections such as Un Certain Regard, where Midi Z's ambitious and somewhat disorienting film Nina Wu premiered could also be up for the best actor awards. If that were the case, then Ke-Xi Wu's dynamic turn as Nina Wu would have hands-down gotten the best actress award, especially since I watched the winning ac...
We were lucky to be able to capture some amazing moments on may 23 with Justice Singleton; the day Boyz n the Hood was screened on the beach with Cannes Classics.

press conference
There was great appreciation all along the panel today at the press conference for Dexter Fletcher's new Elton John biopic titled Rocketman. The film features upcoming stars Taron Egerton, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Richard Madden. Before the release of the film, many people made various assumptions about comparing its theme to that of Bohemian Rhapsody from last year.

"Bruno you changed my life the way you changed my dad's life, you have to know that !"

"She's the light"… "She's the heartbeat of the movie". Margot Robbie explains her role to NYTimes critic Farah Nayeri as Sharon Tate in ‘Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood' by Quentin TARANTINO at the press conference at Cannes. "That's how Quentin explained it to me". And that must be why she hardly has any speaking lines in the film. Robbie defended the film by explaining her role was not so much words as emotions. That she d...
“Mektoub” from Abdellah Kechiche’s new film Mektoub, My Love: Intermezzo on the trail of "Mektoub, My love: Canto Uno" has a complex meaning in Arabic ("written") but one cannot help but notice that letters and the pronunciation of "ME k TOU b" are found in #METOO. Kechiche took his time to answer questions at the press conference of his new film at Cannes. He chastised journalists for their "inferior cameras" (cellphones) and ask...
