@drdang @blakethinks Just got to know where to look! Go to the marché forville for 1€ fried zucchini blossoms. Go to Perrin for petits farcis. Go to any bakery for tourte aux blettes and pissaladière. There's great food to be had.

@blakethinks what surprised me the most was a) how little french food there is b) all the mid tier “fancy-ish” italian restaurants serving horrible italian food, and c) how bad steak and shake is

something no one tells you about cannes is that it has a terrible food scene

Cannes is the only place in the world where you can spot a tuxedo-clad Hirokazu Koreeda walking past a Steak ‘n Shake. (No need to fact-check this.)

@DavidCRooney1 Shot around the corner from chez moi. The 19e stays winning.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY, DRIVE MY CAR, EVIL DOES NOT EXIST… This beautiful shot of Tao Okamoto and Virginie Efira suggests that Ryusuke Hamaguchi will continue his run of festival standouts with the #Cannes2026 competition entry, ALL OF A SUDDEN. Palme d’Or contender?

@souljagoyteller This was just weeks before — and a lifetime removed from — the first Weinstein articles. It premiered at TIFF and was wildly promoted by the festival! (Weinstein also had a film there.)

@becroll I don’t think you’re legally allowed to pitch publications about anything that happened 25 years ago at this point.

VOX Primer: What is CLAIRE’S CAMERA, and why does it matter? What an obscure foreign film may have to tell us about our most-anticipated show of 2027.

‘ADIEU MONDE CRUEL’ de Félix de Givry (co-scénariste d’Arco) avec Milo Machado-Graner clôturera la Semaine de la Critique au Festival de Cannes 2026. « Âgé de quatorze ans, Otto adresse une lettre de suicide à sa famille et à ses camarades de classe mais rate sa tentative. Trop honteux pour rentrer chez lui, il se cache. La nuit tombée, il hante les rues de la ville, comme un fantôme, jusqu’à ce qu’une fille de son lycée, Léna, le reconnaisse. »

I think I was retrospectively a bit harsh on Mile End Kicks. The mistake is to think of it as a Montreal film when it is a Toronto film.
English
Mile End Kicks cashing in pre-emptive good will by casting half the city’s cool kids as extras. Genius move.

Obviously Jon Kay is beneath contempt and not worth acknowledging, but this post makes me sad. I love this ridiculous country’s rich film heritage, and am sad for anyone whose heart is closed to it. Only we could have birthed Guy Maddin. Only we could have generated Things (1989)

I love actual art and entertainment. But we're talking about Canadian film. Please don't change the subject.

@saeedtaji She was saying to a heckler in the crowd, while defending the filmmaker. It's right here: youtu.be/VhQOIBw8vW0?t=…

I’m going to the Berlin film fest for the first time next week! Would love any recs for food, sights to see, and of course gay bars owned by the Cenobites from Hellraiser

Very exciting Oscar results. Congratulations to 2023's GOLDA for its record-breaking 16 nominations! A few years late, but very much deserved.

@JimJarmuschHair The subtext, metatext, and grand unified message of her many articles and tweets is always the same: “I am deeply unhappy, and here’s why it’s everyone else’s fault.”

Imagine if you will a filmmaker who starts in late style and ends with a promising final feature

@dimension__tide saw it at a nyff screening at the zigfield. Soderbergh looking like Sean Penn in Carlitos Way, probably right from the set of the girlfriend experience. Some guy on the corner canvassing for Obama — gave me a pin and asked if I was registered to vote. The World of Yesterday.

@TheAlexSylvian He wasn’t even an actor. Just looked so much like his old man they had to get him before the camera lol

@TheAlexSylvian Not quite the same but Dick Powell Jr played his dad in Day of the Locust

are there any actual cases of an actor taking over their deceased parent's role
