That time of the year again - when the traffic jams are about as bad as ever, and the weather gets rainy. Yes, the Cannes film festival is wrapping up, and the Monaco Grand Prix takes place at the same time. (the traffic jams I can understand, but not sure why the weather tends to be bad this particular weekend...).
As usual, we decided to head out to Cannes, to check out the Quinzaines des realisateurs (one of the three main festivals taking place in Cannes). This being the last day of the festival, they were showing select highlight films. Before heading off to see our film, we had our usual stroll around Cannes (being thankful for the glorious sunshine!), checking out if any celebrities were out and about on the Croisette (there weren't any - not even the Bogdanoff brothers whom we've spotted on two different years already).
Having failed at celebrity-spotting, we went to see our chosen film - Les Combattants, a rather odd love story between Madelaine (a young lady who's preparing for doomsday by training up to deal with, well, the end of the world) and Arnaud (a young guy with simpler pleasures in life, who's taken over the family business together with his brother after the passing away of their father). A pretty interesting film - not what I would call a classic, but definitely more interesting than your average Hollywood romantic comedy...
After a bit of more strolling about in Cannes (actually the place was pretty dead - today was the day of the closing ceremony so no more film showings), we jumped on the train and headed back home...
