 REVIEW: Hopelessly Romantic; Jaglom Takes on that "Festival in Cannes"
"Festival in Cannes" is not the first time Jaglom has trained his camera on the film industry itself, but in the decade between the Venice Film Festival-lensed "Venice/Venice" and this film, his insights have grown sharper, shrewder, more truthfully comic.
Jaglom begins by defining these people in terms of their achievements, breaking them up into the haves and the have-nots, but by the end of "Festival in Cannes," the succinct point is made that, in the movie business, everyone is essentially a have-not, because there's always something more to have.
The primary appeal of "Festival in Cannes" is simple: Jaglom is, and always has been, a hopeless romantic, and he makes hopelessly romantic pictures -- movies that, even when tinged with bittersweet, yearn for old-fashioned Hollywood romance, when people in movies spoke wittily and intelligently about their feelings for one another.

However, reaching for further highlights is a difficult task: the 99-minute picture often seems padded out with shots of the festival, the attractive scenery, or even characters simply pondering their next move.
"Festival In Cannes" is watchable and even has some cute and funny moments, but I think that, had some work been done on creating a tighter structure and stronger characters, this could have been a sharper, funnier look at the market that is the Cannes fest.

 Festival in Cannes (2002): Reviews
Festival in Cannes is definitely Jaglomesque, but can't get that tricky balance right -- the result is a picture as charmingly insubstantial as the world it invokes.
Festival in Cannes is an amused indictment of Jaglom's own profession; he doesn't seem to be making excuses for anybody's compromised (or even downright immoral) behavior here.
Even the women in Festival in Cannes feel more like sketches than fully realized people -- the aging actress, the naive hopeful, the newly minted starlet -- leaving you nothing but the showbiz satire to chew on.

 SPLICEDwire | "Festival In Cannes" review (2002) Henry Jaglom, Anouk Aimée, Maximilian Schell, Greta Scacchi
In 1999, writer-director Henry Jaglom took cameras to Cannes to give a similarly sardonic treatment to the increasingly commercial atmosphere surrounding the festival itself.
The resulting picture is "Festival In Cannes," the kind of sweet-and-sour insider movie that film buffs will eat up like so much gelati.

 'Festival In Cannes'
Jaglom filmed his movie during the 1999 festival, mingling with both the real people and the beautiful people, dropping names of actual stars into the dialogue, much of which is improvised.
The art vs. commerce dichotomy underlines it all, exposing the rank hypocrisy of many of the characters as well as the pressure it puts on those who are in it not for the money so much as the passion.
Still, if allowed to percolate long enough, "Festival at Cannes" offers not just the flavor of the place but also of the profession and of the often contradictory zeals that fuel it.

 Festival in Cannes
In Festival in Cannes, writer/director Henry Jaglom has two purposes; to write a light romantic comedy satirizing the superficiality of the film industry, and to write a serious film about the important issue of ageism against female actors in movies.
Combining the two lessens the effect of his latter message, but this by no means that Festival in Cannes is not worth watching.
There's not as much substance in Festival in Cannes as Jaglom probably thinks there is, but it still amusin to watch.

 Letter from Cannes - Cannes International Dance Festival in Cannes, France Dance Magazine - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
CANNES -- For many good reasons -- the picturesque factor, fabulous weather, delicious food -- almost all of France's major arts festivals take place in beautiful, historically resonant small towns in the south of the country during the indolent summer months.
Since 1986, Cannes has hosted -- along with other cultural initiatives from the mairie, or town hall -- a winter dance festival that has slowly transformed itself from merely featuring a series of well-known ballet companies to one of the most interesting events on the festival circuit.
It's an approach that seems to have worked -- audiences and box-office receipts have increased annually -- and Loukos pays due homage to the Cannes cultural policies that have allowed him to shape the festival as a broadening of artistic horizons for both the public and the participating performers.

 OnMilwaukee.com Movies: "Festival in Cannes" a biting parody of Hollywood types
As a parody, Henry Jaglom's "Festival in Cannes" is a funny look at the world of two-faced Hollywood types, as personified by big-time movie producer Rick Yorkin, masterfully played by Ron Silver, who is at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival trying to get veteran French actress Millie Marquand to commit to a project.
The problem is the film can only move forward with Marquand cast in a bit part as one of the film's stars' mother.

 movie review | festival in cannes (2002)
It's primarily a celebration of the famous spring film festival, which has made a quaint resort town on the Riviera the magnetic north of curdled glamour, tacky and spectacular at the same time, and a distillation of everything good and bad about the international film industry.
Jaglom, a resolutely independent director of small, intensely chatty "relationship" films, relies on Cannes to publicize and distribute his work, and his long-term relationship with the festival translates into effortless scene-setting.
Fifty years ago, Jaglom's film might have been a lush melodrama shot in Technicolor; his decision to make it with handheld cameras and available light, in the midst of the festival itself, as well as his profound grasp of the material, makes it almost feel like a documentary.
