Following on my previous entry, it is somehow disheartening to think about the fate of the films presented here, even those of the official selection under a (supposedly) intense media scrutiny.
Look at Les chansons d'amour by Christophe Honore, a hip young French director I am told. It might have been presented on the official selection last week, and for a day was the most important film in the world, but who is actually going to see it? It's a musical, it looks ace and got some brilliant reviews (and a few others not so glowing reviews) Where is it actually going to end up being screened?
The trailer is fab
In London, which is not exactly a cultural desert, we only got his previous film released this week, in a couple of arthouses cinema, and a year after its presentation at the Director's fortnight at Cannes 2006!
It's called "Dans Paris" I am supposed to see it on Friday night at one of those tiny arthouse cinema with my lesbian best friend, it's not quite going to be the thrill of seeing it in Cannes, but what can you do...
The trailer looks good though. The realisateur is supposed to be Eric Rohmer meets David Lynch, he did a film a while ago called "Cecile Cassard 17 times", call me a perv but at first I thought it was something naughty.
